Back to Nature ! an anti-dote to electronic devices that will get the kids all a flutter this spring!


My Living World is an award-winning range that explores the amazing world of living creatures. These kits are not only stimulating and great fun for kids but also help develop an understanding of the natural world and consideration for the environment. We love this new range which is is ideal for kids big and small, fascinated by nature.


Go on a safari in your back garden and discover the amazing bugs that lurk in the undergrowth. All kids love bugs, and Bug Safari provides them with easy to use, professional quality equipment to enable them to catch, study and identify common mini-beasts from your own garden, parks or in the countryside.

Butterfly World is a hands-on nature study kit that contains all the equipment required to observe and study the fascinating life cycle of butterflies. From a tiny bead of an egg that hatches into a leaf munching caterpillar, to the flying work of natural art that is the adult butterfly. It should be noted that Caterpillars are not included in the kit. Instructions are given on how to find them in the wild; alternatively order caterpillars from our recommended UK supplier ( www.gribblybugs.co.uk ) there is a discount voucher in each kit.

Discover the fascinating life of ants in an ideal environment.  Watch the ants build tunnels, keep their home tidy and feed each other.  Study chemo-communication and ant Morse code.... or hatch living creatures from the age of the dinosaurs and see how your Triops double in size each day. Triops hatch in 24 hours, can grow up to 4cm long and have an incredible life cycle. 

There are indeed worms at the bottom of the garden and now you can look inside their fascinating world with this fun and informative kit.  Watch your worms mix up the different coloured layers in their chamber and feed them leaves.  This product provides a great opportunity for children to learn more about worms’ importance in our ecosystem too!

Love Letters


We love a letter at map gift shop - and with Valentine's Day just around the corner, what better way to declare your love and make a design statement!

We launched the Carnival Lights range in November and we have been delighted with the response - the lights make perfect stylish gifts and you've been snapping them up for Valentine's Day too.....letters can be ordered individually in both industrial steel and rust finishes at £49.00 - please call the shop on 020 7687 4005 or email via our contact page here to check availability etc. Symbols can be purchased online here.  The letters require a mains transformer which we also sell for £5 one transformer can power up to 5 lights.




We've introduced another light letter to the range with these neon letters from Italian Lighting Designers Seletti.  Inspired by classic typography they add bright, quirky style to any setting. Whether used as a simple monogram or to spell out words, these are perfect for creating statement lighting displays that will get people talking - individual letters cost £39, but it should be noted that letters require a transformer which costs a further £55 which will power up to 3 letters. Letters can be easily clipped together to make up words - we are offering "love" for at the amazing price of £200 including adapter!  



and if that's all a little too rich for your budget - fear not!  You can declare your love (or any other message you fancy) with these fantastic scrabble tile coasters at an affordable £3.50 each.
