Build your own rocket

Here 's a fun gift idea for the slightly older child: a build-your-own rocket set. With just a few chunky, easy-to-fit parts, it should be a simple job and no time at all until you're on to the fun part of painting it. What I like best, though, is that the finished product looks like something you wouldn't mind displaying on your own mantelpiece. Just £4.99 from Playmotion.
