Water world

Water is an endlessly versatile medium for play and exploration, and you don't always have to prepare a large pool or tank - tubs or buckets are all the children will need to enjoy our selection of toys Vessels

Vessels

The Hydro-Liner from Great Gizmos is powered by water, and if you drop a colour tablet into the reservoir at the top of the boat it will glide along leaving a colourful trail behind it.

The liner works by kinetic energy: similar to a waterfall releasing energy as it falls, the water stored inside this hydro-liner when you submerge it and fill the inner hull releases enough energy as it 'falls' inside the boat to propel the vessel forward. The Liner comes with a pack of colour tablets and is priced 9.99.

One to appeal to younger children is the Sort and Float Boat from Spacekraft. This 'shape sorter' boat comes with five differently coloured pieces that all float in the water as well as fitting into the appropriate cut outs in the boat. There is a lift-up flap at the back of the boat to allow for storage. Priced 6.95.
