Berg go Karts Acrostic

author — Tue, 18 May 2010 14:49:05 +0000

The humble go-kart can be underestimated by the general public of Great Britain, which is why we feel it’s our duty to bring the love back to decent children’s toys, and celebrate the go-kart through the delightful, beautiful and often incredibly emotive means of acrostic poetry. So, beloved readers, sit back and indulge in our first effort- we hope you enjoy!

Boredom sets in during the summer holiday,
Even though it’s a beautiful day, it seems there’s nowhere to go.
Roaming around the house,
Getting the kids outside feels like a struggle.
Golly, say we, this problem is easily solved;
Only a easy-to-assemble toy can do the trick!
Kids and adults will love the Berg Go Karts,
Amazingly simple and fun, there is no excuse not to indulge in one.
Ring Berg Toys today, and we’ll a kit sent out to you;
Talk of the town will switch to your groovy gadget.
Service with a smile and easy ordering.

If you have any questions about our go-karts or any of our other products here at Berg Toys, please do get in touch, and one of our team will happily answer any queries you might have.

Schools ban popular children’s toys

author — Tue, 11 May 2010 13:14:30 +0000

It’s a story we hear time and time again; a craze hits children all over the UK, whether it be an item of clothing, a toy, or a collectable, they bring them to school, and the school bans the item from the site. This age-old conundrum of battling against the fashion, or indulging your children, is a tricky one, and many agree with the confiscation of these toys or items, as they can cause arguments between pupils, and tensions between those comparing their wares. Schools also have the added worry of toys and other in-fashion items causing an unwanted distraction in lessons, making the job of many teachers extremely difficult.
We at Berg Toys would love to know your views on this- are you a parent who has had to buy all the in-fashion toys, only to find that your child cannot share them with their friends at school? Are you a teacher who has had to deal with waves of fads coming through your classroom, and have devised ways in which to combat the distraction factor for kids? Whatever your stance or story on this issue, we’d love to hear from you, so please do get in touch!

We sign up for our own Berg Toys Legoman

author — Tue, 04 May 2010 13:06:01 +0000

It’s fair to say that we at Berg Toys just love anything we can build, whether it be go-karts, towers made from cardboard boxes, or miniature villages built from building blocks. We love the classic, brightly-coloured wooden ones, the big plastic Duplo ones, and of course the varied shaped blocks that help finish off the perfect house/tower/bus/helicopter. But for all these, there really is no beating the ultimate classic building device: Lego. We’ve always been avid fans of its durability, versatility and of course imaginative designs for Lego people. So can you imagine our delight when we discovered that we could get our own Berg Toys team Lego man made. Too overwhelmed to contain our excitement, we wanted to let the whole world know that we’ll be joining thousands of other members of the British public, in seeing our name printed on a little yellow fellow- all in the name of art. Ex-student Adam Oppenheimer came up with the plan as part of a recruitment process for a top advertising agency; the challenge was to set up a Facebook group which would accumulate as many members as possible in the shortest time. By joining, each participant is awarded a character. Well, Adam, you’ve got us hooked…and we can’t wait to see our name imprinted on a small man.

Water Pistols keep the edge off the summer heat

author — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 15:18:20 +0000

There’s nothing we like better than a good bit of sunshine in the Spring, and this year it seems we’re getting some. The days are getting longer, the evenings warmer, and those lazy weekend days are perfect for lounging around in the local park. Of course, if you’re hanging in the heat all day, there’s only one way in which you should definitely cool yourself off- and that’s with the good old-fashioned, never-failing water pistol. We at Berg Toys are super keen for any plaything that gets kids up and moving around, burning some of that seemingly endless supply of energy, and a super soaker or classic water shooter will do just this- without them even realising. Of course the grown-ups don’t have to miss out on all the fun, and we’re sure your darling little nippers would like nothing more than to see Mum and Dad get wet in combat.
So make the most of this sunny season and treat your kids to something so simple, yet so fantastic and joyful. Careful though, they may just turn on you with their water pistols at any moment!
If you have any questions about any of our toys, please do get in touch and we’ll happily answer any questions you might have.
