NON-DAIRY LUNCHBOXRemember the days when your grandmother used to make desserts from Sago? Sunshine Coast mum Monica Topliss has revived the technique and given it a new twist with flavours like Banana and Passionfruit. Tart to taste, with an interesting texture, these individual cups make a good alternative to yoghurt or custard in the lunch box. They are made from 100% real fruit and contain no fat or dairy.

STRATEGIC GIFT GIVING All the best board games are deceptively simple and good for all ages, and Pentago meets that criteria. The object of the game is to get five of your
colour marbles in a row, but the catch is, the board is divided into squares, and part of your move is rotating one of the squares 90 degrees in either direction. This game builds great forward thinking skills and makes a fantastic Christmas activity. RRP $44.99. Available at all Amazen Puzzles shops.
LEAPFROG THEIR LEARNING When placed on a page of a Tag Junior book, this handy device reads the page out loud, making it a perfect tool for long car rides and quiet time. Easy to hold for toddlers, it looks like a cartoon character and starts toddlers on a journey of interaction with books. Available from all major department shops. RRP $69.95.
SLEEP WELL Kids’ bedding is often designed either for boys or girls making it hard to interchange between your kids. This single sheet-set by European artist Graziela Preiser, on the other hand, is colourful and fun, but not targeting one sex or the other. It is available on the internet at www.larkmade.com and costs $90. Also available in cot sizes and sets.
