Baby Clementoni Interactive Football Table

This is a new toy that will go down well with football-fan parents as well as kids. It is an interactive football table that also works as an educational toy, teaching numbers through scoring goals and featuring mechanic and electronic activities – they can learn words, songs and nursery rhymes, all in English or Spanish. It develops language skills, hand-to-eye coordination and the understanding of cause and effect. That’s all before little ones use it as an actual football table. Suitable from 18 months.

The Verdict: best developmental toys

The LeapStart is a cool, fun, educational and interactive toy that kids are desperate to get their hands on. In our opinion, it’s a reasonable price for a great product that sets children up for school-style learning. Lamaze is a great first toy for young babies to stimulate senses and the Primo Cubetto, though pricey, deserves a mention for its clever way of teaching coding without screen time.
