KIDDIES were given a welcome break from following the grown-ups around the shops last week.

Instead of being dragged around in the Christmas rush, they took time out to play at toy company Playmobil's roadshow at Bluewater from November 29 to December 5.

Joined by Mr Playmobil, the youngsters played with Playmobil toys and decided what they might want for Christmas. Competitions could also be entered and goody bags with balloons and stickers were available to take home.
