Tesco, through the Entertainer, are selling value packs of Moon Dough for £3. Unfortunately postage is another £2.99 and there's no click and collect option, but at 'was £20' plus £2.99, to just £5.99 is still pretty good value for money, especially if you're buying more than one, which at that price you can, and then have a replacement, or gifts to spare. I popped four in my basket and postage stayed £2.99.

• Model and play with Moon Dough

Moon dough is such fun, so long as you don't have a carpeted area to play on!

Aparently Moon Dough modelling clay never stains - I've not put this to the test - and it doesn't dry out either, as compared to its generically named rival in the modelling clay arena.

The dough is light and pliable, making it ideal for little hands.

It is also hypo-allergenic, so shouldn't cause any untoward reactions.

Moon Dough is recommended for little creative minds, aged over three years old.

You enter the code at the checkout and your charges will be whipped off if you happen to spend over £40.

• Go out for a stroll with the Little Tikes 3-in-1 Trike*
• Same thing in Pink*

We've just recently got a brand new Trike for my youngest, and since we've never used a pram or stroller, I think these are great. So practical, lightweight, easy to manouvre, and take up so little space. Perfect. 

These partcular ones are suitable from around 9 months, but as they grow you can remove the push handle to turn it into a tricycle. You can also use or remove the footrests, and use pedals. There's also a basket, a sun canopy - oh please, can we need that! - and a cup holder for mum or dad.

Hurry to pick up this great deal from The Toy Shop while it’s still on offer.

If you get yourself over to the Entertainer, you'll be able to pick up this 500-piece Bendaroos Mega Pack for £2.85 rather than £15.

• Click HERE to take a look at the Bendaroos *

Bendaroos are coloured string coated in wax that you can bend and shape into 2D or 3D models or shapes.  They stick to paper, glass, plastic, and each other, they also unstick so you can use them again to make new models.

Iv'e written about them a couple of times before and each time I say I rather fancy buying them for myself, but never quite round to it.  They're the sort of thing I'd love to mess around with when I'm sitting at my desk waiting in a phone queue, when I want to bang my head against the proverbial brick wall, or just want/need to do 'something else' for a few minutes - it would be like doodling in 3D.

In this Bendaroos Mega Pack you get 500 pieces in 12 different colours - half in rainbow colours and half in neon - along with a guide to give you some ideas for Bendaroos models if you get a bit stuck and need some inspiration.

If you live close to an Entertainer/Toy Shop store then you can arrange to collect your Bendaroos for free, otherwise home delivery will be an additional £2.99.

Happy Bendarooing!

The Fab Felt Jewellery Maker from The Entertainer, while listed as 50% off, is actually reduced from £25 to £10, making it 60% off. Standard UK delivery is another £2.99 but you can also use the free click and collect service with as little as 30 minutes notice.

• Make fab felt jewellery*

There are no reviews on The Entertainer for this product, so I can't tell you how well this concept translates into reality, but according to the blurb that goes with it, budding fashion designers will go crazy for this simple to use textiles kit.

The pink gadget transforms wool into felt patches from which you can make one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery. You can create bangles, felt balls for necklaces and turn felt hearts and flowers into pretty brooches to wear on coats, tops and school bags, they say.

Suitable for children aged six and up, the set includes the jewellery maker, eight brightly coloured wool tops, beads, jewels, clasps and various design tools.  All you need to add is a bit of patience and some imagination. Sounds Fab to me!

They have everything from glitter tubes to stationery sets and scented markers. I know the girls are going to love the sticker books and stick on gem stones and I even spotted some marbles and modelling clay on the list too.

It’s literally all £1 so you can’t really go wrong. At that price you can stock up on the glitter and glue and save it for a rainy winter day when the kids are moaning that they’re bored. They’ll be great for kid’s party packs and party games such as pass the parcel too, awesome.

Save a fabulous 50% on the Aqua Beads Art 3D Secret Garden from The Toy Shop. This fun and creative set has been reduced from £15.00 to £7.50, great for keeping the kids busy and letting their imagination run wild on cold winter days.

With the Aqua Beads Art 3D Secret Garden your kids can create an amazing range of animals, trees and plants by simply spraying the beads with water and sticking them together to make beautiful flat shapes or fantastic three dimensional models. I love this type of creativity set as they can build absolutely anything they can think of and it’s something new and different to the old pipe cleaners and glitter sets. They’ll be able to build their very own three dimensional garden including everything from a fountain to a butterfly.

The Aqua Beads Art 3D Secret Garden includes over 800 beads. Your kids will be able to display their beautiful Aqua Beads creations in the enchanted secret garden and have hours of fun making them.

The Entertainer have some great offers on at the moment, and the one that caught my eye is the Butterfly Doll's House for £9.99 reduced fr0m £29.99.

• Have fun with the Butterfly Doll House*

Argos had this same offer on at one point last year, and I bought two dolls houses, knowing that they'd come in handy in a pinch. A friend had to move house just before her daughter turned two - like, days before - and didn't have time to arrange a party, so I arranged a surprise birthday party at my house. On the day I realised that I hadn't bought a present for the little girl, but remembered the dolls house. My friend was blown away by such a 'generous' gift and that she felt bad accepting it, until I eventually told her what I'd actually paid for it, then she felt better.  I'm glad because her daughter loves her dolls house.

These come flat packed, which make them perfect gifts to store away for a while.

The Butterfly Doll's House compes omplete with furniture and two doll figures. It is a two-storey, open plan design making for easy play access and its natural materials and soft pastel colours make it a lovely addition for any bedroom.

The Butterfly Doll's House measures 37.5cm tall, 33cm wide and 22.5cm deep and comes with instructions for a simple assembly.

No doubt your child has already dropped plenty of hints for whatever their main present will be. In our house Lego Star Wars is a definite winner.

But what about those few smaller presents, and the stocking fillers (if you do them)? Last year we all got some great bargains through the sales. My favourite was a magic set I picked up in a flash sale for £5. Another PlayPennies parent managed to grab the entire set of Diary of a Wimpy Kid for a fraction of its normal cost.

But don't worry you haven't necessarily missed out. There are still Christmas bargains available. Unfortunately many of the bargains that people have found were sold out. But not all of them. Here we've gathered the best of what's still out there. I've looked through our posts here on the blog, and asked our PlayPennies parents. And here's our top ten.

The Vtech Kiddizoom Cars digital camera has been reduced from £49.99 to £24.99 at The Entertainer. This is a lovely 50% off just in time to slide this beauty underneath the Christmas tree this year.

• Click here to get photographic with The Entertainer*

Take fun photos and videos with Lightning McQueen with this ace Vtech Kiddizoom Disney Cars digital camera. It has 2x digital zoom and enough built-in memory to take over 500 photos. The camera has simple controls with child friendly handgrips and a colour LCD screen so it is easy for them to take clear, sharp pictures.

Budding photographers can have fun editing their snaps by adding frames, stamps and other effects with the built-in photo editor. It also supports SD memory cards and needs you to give it four AA batteries which are not included in the price. We have a similar model which I think is ok. Not spectacular, but kind of fun. Eats batteries though.

Fans of Everything's Rosie will absolutely love this special offer from The Entertainer - £2 for Rosie, reduced from £8 is an absolute bargain. You can also get Wraggles from instore, but it's sold out on line.

• Have fun with Rosie and her friends*

If you don't know the story, Everything's Rosie is from CBeebies, and is a story about a little ragdoll girl who has adventures with her friends, facing everyday conundrums and learning the value of friendship.

"Rosie hasn't got all the answers, but she is keen to uncover this world of surprises with her friends and the viewers", says the blurb about her. The Rosie rag doll  is 16cm tall and suitable for children 2 years and older.

Standard UK delivery is £2.99 and takes 3 - 5 days.

The Entertainer have a bunch of really good stocking fillers up for grabs at the moment, including a 500 Piece Mega Pack of Bendaroos reduced from £15 to £5. While that's a great price - they're £7.30 at Amazon - the real bonus lies in the second pack, which you can get for £2.50, essentially making them £3.75 a box, which is brilliant.

• Stock up for Christmas and more at The Entertainer*

The Bendaroos are strips of magical wax wrapped around super strong string. They stick to paper, glass, plastic and each other to make fun models. Apparently they also unstick with no mess, so you can reuse them to make new shapes. You can use them to build, draw, decorate and transform ordinary objects into fun toys.

They have been tested safe and require no glue, no stains and no mess - always a win.

The box comes with 10 traceable templates, 250 rainbow and 250 neon Bendaroos, Step-by-Step Fun Guide Instructions, suitable fun for 3 year olds and older.

Children love building blocks because there’s no end to the number of different things they can build. Make a house, a tower, an animal or whatever you can dream up with these chunky, brightly coloured bricks. If you really want to think big, then combine this set with other Mega Bloks kits and build as high or as wide as you like. Suitable for children 12 months to 5 years these blocks are big, safe and easy to handle.

This 100 piece set is great for developing motor skills and encouraging kids aged 12 months and up to use their imagination. It's also compatible with other brands of pre-school construction bricks so they can use them all together and let their imaginations run wild.

The Entertainer is selling Let’s Rock Elmo from Sesame Street for a very tasty £24.99 instead of the usual price of £69.99. This is a whopping saving of £45 off the usual retail price and would make an utterly fantastic Christmas gift.

• Click here to get Elmo at The Entertainer

Get ready for showtime with Sesame Street’s Let’s Rock Elmo. Rocking a cool t-shirt, Elmo loves performing with the kids. He sings into his microphone, bangs his drums, shakes his tambourine and boogies away to six different Sesame Street songs.

This ace toy will amuse kids aged 18 months and older for hours. However, it isn’t just about Elmo getting down to the tunes, Elmo’s instruments are perfect for little hands and the clever toy will sing along when children are playing his favourite tunes on the drum or tambourine.

This toy is also pretty battery hungry at no less than six AA batteries demanded to keep it going, although they are included at the outset.

If like me you've been plagued by requests for Wenlock and Mandeville toys then you'll like all these discounts for the toys associated with the Olympics and Paralympics. There are reductions on the site of up to 90%. Lots of great bargains, like the Mandeville toy I have ordered above for £1.50 - down from its previous price of £10!

• Click here for your Olympic, Paralympic and Team GB toys at The Toy Shop

You couldn't get a Mandeville toy for love nor money anywhere in the Olympic stadium or park when we were there on the last Saturday of the games. I had one very disappointed son!

The London 2012 Mandeville Cuddly Collectible deserves first place in any sports fan's collection. This 16cm tall bean bag soft toy is the perfect Paralympics souvenir and comes in one of four snazzy t-shirts. Styles vary - your Mandeville may have a different t-shirt.

There are also Wenlock's available and the little sporting figurines sold for the events too. It is well worth having a good browse and when I checked there was still plenty of stock available.

Standard UK delivery is £2.99 so factor that into the cost. Even so it makes it £4.49 if all I bought was the Mandeville toy!
