satisfied customer shared: "It has really been fantastic for learning and fun." Another chimed in: "Great little play set for younger kids. Lovely set for role play and a

great carry case to keep everything in and play with." However, not all feedback was glowing, as one critic labelled it "a bit basic." Argos is also on hand with an array of

no-hassle toys and games to captivate children, albeit with slightly steeper prices. Standouts include the Chad Valley Shopping Trolley Playset, which at £11 forms part of a tempting two for

£15 offer on play food and role play items. PlayWorks also offers affordable dressing-up accessories starting at 80p, featuring items like a rainbow sequin play wand, a unicorn headband,

purchased it. Educational toys are also part of PlayWorks' 20% deal. The PlayWorks Time To Learn Wipe-Off Reward Chart is a particular favourite that encourages children to reach weekly

goals with a different task each day, and then reward their good behaviour with stickers or treats. The reward chart's price drop from £3 to £2.40 has thrilled parents, earning it a

stellar 4.5 out of five-star rating. A satisfied buyer commented: "Works very well for what we need it for. You can write your own tasks and rewards with a white board pen or use

stickers provided." One parent praised the chart's effectiveness but noted the magnets were not as strong as hoped, leaving a four-star review: "This rewards chart has been a

good visual for my toddler. It has helped with some behaviours and routines at home." They added their minor grievance: "I've hung it on my fridge. There are magnets across

the back of the board; however, they are very weak so are unable to stick on the fridge. I've had to use a different magnet to hang it off of." Despite this, another customer raved

about the product, stating: "Very handy strong magnets on the back, easily wipeable with the lid of the pen, my kids love them and are working towards their goal really well."
