For 2-8 players. ; ; Age 8+ ; ; In 1934 Charles B. Darrow of Germantown Pennsylvania presented a game called MONOPOLY to the executives of Parker Brothers. Mr.Darrow like many other Americans was unemployed at the time and often played this game to amuse himself and pass the time. It was the game’s exciting promise of fame and fortune that initially prompted Darrow to produce this game on his own. With help from a friend who was a printer Darrow sold 5 000 sets of the MONOPOLY game to a Philadelphia department store. As the demand for the game grew Darrow could not keep up with the orders and arranged for Parker Brothers to take over the game. Since 1935 when Parker Brothers acquired the rights to the game it has become the leading proprietary game not only in the United States but throughout the Western World. As of 1994 the game is published under license in 43 countries and in 26 languages; in addition the U.S. Spanish edition is sold in another 11 countries.

The Big Bang Rocket only needs a tiny square of newspaper to make an almighty ‘bang’! And how does it do that? Science of course! Wait come back… it’s fun science! All you have to do is tear a 3 inch square piece of newspaper pop it over the top of the rocket fasten it in place and throw it as far as you can. When it lands on the nose the paper will pop producing a surprisingly loud and powerful bang. It’s a great fun toy for any outdoor surface so that includes the park the garden or even the beach. What’s more all you need to make it work over and over again is that little square of newspaper. If anything it’ll make recycling an awful lot more fun than taking the bins out of a Wednesday night. So next time you’re heading out for a day in the park or on the beach then don’t forget to take the Big Bang Rocket with you. Guaranteed to upset the local wildlife and cause unnecessary furore amongst nearby gangsters the Big Bang Rocket is an endless well of explosive entertainment.

People around the world have become obsessed with the size of their carbon footprint – and not before time. Show your concern the next time you make your morning cuppa and pop a teabag in the CO2 Mug. It has a heat reactive world map painted on the side so when your boiling water starts to warm the mug the countries will change colour to reveal just how much they produce in carbon emissions on an annual basis. It’s quite enlightening and more than a little bit concerning – nothing a stiff cup of tea (or a dedicated carbon reduction policy) can’t fix though. It’s not too late to change the world – you just need to take it one brew at a time.
