Winner:GOLD - Best Toy Design 6+ Years
Who:Candylab
What:ROADWORKS Stunt Jump Set
Why:
The Stunt Jump Set impressed judges with its modular system and fun-factor. Educational without them even realising! As children experiment with different builds, they’ll naturally begin learning about cause and effect, different heights and angles influencing speed and different outcomes. The panel particularly liked that the set encourages both solo play and social. Kids can band together to create larger stunt systems, also sparking communication and problem-solving.
"The Candylab Stunt Jump looks like so much fun. I love how it combines beautifully designed wooden cars with action-packed play, encouraging children to experiment, race, and try different jumps. It's the kind of toy that feels timeless, is built to last, and would make a brilliant addition to any playroom."
"My kids would enjoy doing competitions against each other to see who could do the best trick / and star landing."

Who:Maped Creativ
What:Airbrush Maker
Why:
The Maped Creativ airbrush maker kit wowed judges as a fun, screen-free and creative activity for kids. The kit comes with fun stencils, stickers and lots of colours to choose from, so kids can create their very own masterpieces. The panel praised features like the washable pens, long battery life and easy recharging. Judges also loved how easy the airbrush is to set up, pop the felt pen into the spray and start creating.
"This looks like a fantastic creative kit for older children who love arts and crafts. I love how it creates a graffiti-style airbrush effect that feels genuinely magical, giving kids the chance to produce artwork that looks really impressive. It looks easy to use, encourages creativity and experimentation with colour, and is a brilliant way to keep older children engaged in a fun, hands-on activity."
"I know my children would be really keen to try this! A great innovative design -where they can freestyle their own graffiti style."
