If you don't know by now that bamboo is destined to be the oak of the 21st century... I'll have to get to you through your children. With Pandabo - A Bamboo Game, kids pile brightly painted bamboo sticks on the outstretched paws of a chubby, contented looking panda with the object being to never be the one to put on the stick that makes the panda fall over. Ages 4 and up. At £12 it's eminently affordable and looks like a simple but addictive game (as well as a way to introduce your young'uns to the green sphere at an impressionable age). [GT]
