Air Hogs Jackal Remote Controlled Helicopter

Flight is a subject of fascination for many; even among those who fear it. While many of us take this form of travel for granted, very few will experience it from the controls.

Map of Ireland Wooden Jigsaw

Alphabet Jigsaws design their individually handcrafted products in Ireland. Each piece is finished by hand, using paint and primers that are non-toxic. The wood used has been sourced from sustainably grown forests.

The Map of Ireland jigsaw provides and excellent fun way for children to learn some geographic facts about the country.  Children will become familiar with the country’s shape and will be able to start learning about the county names and locations. It’s safe for children of 3 years and older to play with, however, I prefer to recommend around 5 years and older to get the best educational value from this 32 piece puzzle. Read more
