BACKGROUND My little boy is a huge fan of Bob the Builder. He is also into a variety of other characters from CBeebies. I like to get him a magazine every now and then for a treat. Because he is into so many different characters, it would cost me a small fortune to buy a magazine for each of them. I needed something with a bit of ...  Read the complete review

'toybox' is one of a numerous spin-offs accompanying the grand BBC project that is cbeebies. I am personally a great admirer of cbeebies. In all honesty I feel vaguely guilty using their web site on almost a daily basis and doing it completely for free - as a no-telly family we do not pay a TV licence. ...  Read the complete review

My daughter is now 2 and-three-quarters as I write this review and into EVERYTHING! She spends far too long watching videos or children's TV, but does like a variety of programmes, not just one or two favourites.

I was looking at the magazines for the first time in ages and I could not believe how expensive they are. A magazine for a teenager today costs between ...  Read the complete review

After I put all my ...  Read the complete review

If your children like to do puzzles and love Tweenies, Bob the Builder, Noddy, Fireman Sam, Yoho Ahoy, Playdays, Angelmouse and William's Wish Wellingtons then this is the magazine to get. BBC Toybox Puzzles is just the same as the normal magazine but it just purely puzzles, no stories. I bought the February issue for my 4 year old ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought my daughter a copy of Toybox Storytime magazine after much "please can I have it" in the newsagents, thanks to those very clever people who put the kids mags on the lowest shelf so all the small children can easily see them...and nag their Mother for them. What I couldn't get over was the price of not just ...  Read the complete review

My 4 year old son is a big fan of magazines, but when he chooses one he usually goes for something like the Tweenies or Bob the Builder, so I was quite surprised when he picked this one. What's good about Toybox is that it features all your child's favourite BBC characters - including Fireman Sam, Postman Pat, the Tweenies etc. It's ...  Read the complete review
