Folk Playground features fun songs from many of America's leading children's musicians and other well-known artists. Years ago, before the advances of modern technology gave us MP3 players and video phones, people used to get together with family and friends to make music. Gathered around the fireplace or sitting on the front porch, people of all ages would pull out instruments and sing traditional songs that had been passed down from previous generations. Parents learned from grandparents and children learned from parents. In this manner, a circle was created and the music was preserved for future generations to know, learn and love. This is the very essence of folk music, and its legacy continues on Folk Playground, a family recording from Putumayo Kids. Tracks include:

• Victor Johnson - This Old Man
• Zoe Lewis - Sheep
• Jon Gailmor - Just Kidding
• Michelle Shocked - Got No Strings

Putumayo gives the holiday season an international flavour with Christmas Around the World, a collection of familiar Christmas songs performed by artists from all over the globe. From a Cuban rendition of "Joy to the World" to a flamenco version of "White Christmas," Christmas Around the World adds a unique twist to the classic carols that enliven the holidays.

In a world that is constantly changing, Christmas is a time for revisiting the familiar customs and rituals that connect everyone to generations past. While Christmas is celebrated in different ways around the world, among the unifying elements that help create holiday spirit are the songs, hymns, and carols that serve as the soundtrack for the season. And, though every country has its own unique songs, there are certain melodies that have crossed every border.

Most of the songs on Christmas Around the World will sound familiar, though a few are traditional melodies from a region or culture. All conjure up the Christmas spirit and add a special, international flavour to the holiday ambiance.

Deafness in Nepal is a complex issue, as disability is often seen as being a punishment for wrongdoing in a previous life. In fact, deafness is frequently caused by preventable, curable, childhood diseases. Those from low income backgrounds are affected most often, because they cannot afford good health care. Consequently, parents of deaf children regard it as a waste of money to pay for their education. Just £25 would send a deaf child to school for a year. The card shows a picture of a child/children (designs may vary) and reads :

Congratulations! You have given a deaf, disadvantaged, Nepalese child the chance to attend school for a year. In Nepal, there is a stigma attached to any disability, which means parents usually regard it as a waste of money to pay for the education of any disabled child, even though deafness is often caused by preventable, treatable, childhood diseases.

A while ago, we stocked Wedgits, which were very popular. For a number of reasons we are no longer able to keep them, but this wooden building toy works on a similar principle. Its simple (even boring) appearance disguises a fascinating and challenging toy. The 15 blocks nest inside each other to form a double pyramid for storage. Take them apart and put them back together in an apparently infinite number of shapes, balance them in unlikely combinations and challenge yourself to invent new designs. It is an absorbing activity for children and adults, and great for stimulating imagination, logic problem solving and understanding balance and shape. Unlike Wedgits, these are not boxed and come with no instructions, but the smooth wooden finish is extremely tactile. Largest block approx 11.5cm square, 4+
