There's nothing more trendy than celebrating a sporting event and your British roots at the same time. Let your children be part of the Olympic pride when playing with their friends.
Here's our top five olympic-inspired toys:
1. Team GB Glider
This scooter, featuring the Team GB design and colours, as well as the 5 rings of the Olympic Games, is easy to ride and features a rear footbrake for safety, too.
The T-bar handles are comfortable to grip while the chunky wheels make it easy to steer. It can be folded for easy storage when it’s not being used.
Suitable for children three years and up.
Available from John Lewis - £18.50
2. London 2012 Olympic Games Collectable Bear
If medals were awarded for teddy bears, this one would definitely win gold. From his adorable hand-stitched m-shaped nose – a tribute to classic Merrythought bears of the past to his big trusting eye and those precious felt paw pads, this teddy is a credit to the craftsmen and women who brought him to life.
Like all the best collector bears, the London 2012 Olympic Games Bear’s rich golden fur is made of genuine mohair – the valuable coat of the Angora goat. Wonderfully soft to the touch, it only succeeds in making him extra huggable. You can also move his arms, legs and head to change his pose – because he’s fully jointed.
Available from www.danburymint.co.uk - £199
3. London 2012 Olympic Mini Sketchy Fun
The classic etch-a-sketch now has an Olympic upgrade, with Wenlock to help. Using the pen provided, children can draw any picture on the board and when they've finished the swipe will wipe the board clean and they can start again.
Suitable for children three years and up.
Available from John Lewis - £7.95
4. Team GB BMX Bike
For little Olympic fans, this BMX is perfect for a first bike. Designed with Team GB BMX graphics, any child riding this at play time is sure to be the talk of pack amongst their friends.
The bike has supporting wheels to help train your child to becoming a confident cyclist. It also has front handle breaks and a comfortable blue seat.
Suitable for children three years and up.

5. London 2012 Olympic London Underground Train
Let the kids join in the Olympic Games fun with this very collectable tube train. Made from die-cast metal, its design uses the London 2012 pictograms which will be used during the Olympic and Paralympic Games. It's also beautifully packaged.
No collection would be complete without the London tube train; famous for being the oldest underground railway in the world.
