There’s a whole lot more to these crackers than a flimsy paper hat and a plackie paperclip. Packed with top treats, these little beauties will keep your kids entertained right up to trifle time…
Ridley’s Magic Party Crackers
Pull a cracker and out pops one of these little fellas. Cute, yes, but so much more – these robins are raring to race! Just wind up, place on the track’s starting line (supplied), and stand back as these crazy birds go beak to beak. With different-coloured hats to avoid arguments about whose red-breasted beast is in the lead and whose is left to eat their dust, just wind ’em up and watch ’em go! Plus, get a feel-good Christmas glow in the knowledge that you’ll be doing your bit to help real-life robins, as 100% profits from these crackers goes to helping British birds and wildlife.

Kuckoo Krackers Balloon Game
The wonder of bouncy balloons turned into exotic animals and birds of paradise has always been a mystery shared only by a chosen few. But now you and your clan can get in on the act. As well as the usual hat and joke, each cracker contains a number of modeling balloons and a step-by-step guide showing how to make all manner of balloon models – you’ll even find a nifty pump to save your poor ol’ lungs. Once you’ve mastered the basics, spice things up with some healthy competition, such is ‘Scrufts’, where players have to create a balloon dog and enter it into a prestigious dog show. Barking good fun!
