Grasshopper Toys

Grasshopper Toys 🚀 Find mind-blowing gifts that spark joy & curiosity! 🎁 Handpicked STEM kits, LEGO, BRIO, Games Workshop for all ages. It's grown up stuff!

Founded by scientists, we inspire fun learning. 📦 Next-day delivery! Shop unique gift ideas now. Curious Minds was started in 2004 from a garden shed. We have moved on a little since then and now occupy a real shop and real warehouses. As a passionate and trained scientist, I am very proud of the range of science kits and equipment we have sourced through Curious Minds, it gives us so much pleasure when we find another gadget which we think our customers will enjoy and the quest never ends; we look forward to years of discovering the very best of science kits and equipment on behalf of our world-wide customers. We select our products very carefully, paying close attention to the scientific details. For example, we have tested many different brands of toy orrery (motorised solar system models) and found that in half of them the planets orbit the wrong way (should be anti-clockwise as seen from North). If we find errors we let the supplier or manufacturer know. If they won't fix it, we won't stock it. We hope that you will be totally satisfied with the quality of our products. If you aren't - please let us know! We are always keen to ensure that our products and service are the best they can be! Equally if we are missing something which you feel should be a part of our range, please contact us, we would love to hear from you.

We are sorry, but we're completely sold out of solar eclipse glasses and solar projector kits.
If you'd like to watch tonight's eclipse safely, please grab an old cereal box and build yourselves a solar projector (plenty of instructions online), or grab yourselves a colander and a piece of white paper. Look at the white paper to see the moon eclipsing the sun, DON'T LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN!
Don't use sun glasses, they will not protect your eyes.
Have fun!

***SOLD OUT FOR NOW!***

We have a small amount of Needoh stock in again!

We only have the packs of 3 Teenie Fuzz Ball Needohs, Jelly Squish, and Nice Ice Baby Cubes.

These will be available for sale from 9am tomorrow morning.

Keen to be first? Please queue outside in an orderly fashion, then keep that same order when you come in and line up at the till. Thanks for playing fair with your fellow shoppers!

The Needoh will be behind the till and a staff member will procure your selection.

These are ONE per person. NOT one of each type but one single Needoh.

We will not be taking any reservations.

We will not be selling Needohs for children/friends/siblings etc who are not present in store.

Please be respectful to our staff who are dealing with this viral madness for the first time, as well as to fellow customers.

So… our Warhammer range has grown just a teensy wee bit in the decade we’ve been stocking it!

You can hardly see a difference (see last post)! 😂

And as always, we can still order in most customer requests as long as they are not sets exclusive to Games Workshop, discontinued sets, or paints.

A whole decade of stocking Warhammer! We can hardly believe it!

It would be an understatement to say our range has grown a little bit… stay tuned for our next post to see just how much the range has expanded over a decade!
