Always moaning that your kids are sat in front of the TV when they could be playing outside?

The answer could be a gaming console with a difference. It's called Swinxs and it is a veritable gamemaster that you can use inside the house or out in the garden, down the park or even on the beach.

It can talk, explain games, recognise players and even referee too. Best of all it gets kids off their backsides and playing traditional games like hide and seek, tig, and musical chairs and also organises quizzes.

The Swinxs comes pre-loaded with seven games and other games can be downloaded free of charge via your PC and the supplied USB cable. The games are aimed at 4 to 10 year olds for the most part.

It's very portable, the battery life is good and you can even use it to play music - meaning hours of fun!

I actually looked into buying one for Christmas last year, but the £130 price tag put me off. The good news is that the price has come down and you can now buy one for just £60, making the Swinxs great value.

In fact put your feet up during the coming Summer holidays and let Swinxs entertain the kids!

Swinxs is available from the Early Learning Centre, price £60.
