Toys for older children

In some ways it seems a shame when our children grow out of the toys that you enjoyed in their early years. They want to challenge them and sometimes this may mean that you need to make expensive new purchases.

The advertising industry has a big role to play at this point. Many of our children will be exposed to advertising on television, on the internet and in magazines. Even if you limit how much advertising their view for children, is likely to be influenced by their peers.

Unfortunately, some of the toys and games that they are likely to be prohibitive. So what about those who are viewed as cool, but that shouldn't break the Bank?

Sky Challenger helicopter games were a great success during the past year or so and continue to maintain their popularity. The radio control element of the game certainly helps, but the main selling point was the fact that you can use to get air battles.

This offers fun, but in a safe environment. Since prices were kept relatively low, these are toys that are suitable for older kids, but that are not too expensive. You can compare prices at various retailers who sell them in stores and on the internet.

So what there is to know about the game, if you make a purchase? The first thing to say is that they are not really suitable for children. Manufacturer's recommendation is that they are for age 8 and upwards-this feels right.

Having objects flying around a high speed camera is not particularly suitable for smaller-certainly not if you're proud of the objects in your House!

Controlling the helicopter is not as easy as it might be, especially in the initial period while you are learning how to use the game. While early adolescents with controls, can still be a challenge, particularly for some adults!

How about the resumption of the game? That sounds a bit messy?

Fortunately, this part of the game only really leads to a disorder of the signal between the remote control and the helicopter, making it difficult to maintain control. Fortunately, this is the mess free, depending on where he lands the helicopter fall!

Without a doubt a great game and well suited to older kids. There are hours of fun here for those from years 8 and above.
