futuristic convertible into a genuine supercar.

Stuff says +++++

Fun, fast and practical, the I-Pace is the greatest thing

to happen to electric cars in a long time

Nissan Leaf

from £26,345 / stuff.tv/NissanLeaf

Nissan has really got it right with the latest

Leaf – an accomplished family car that

packs some serious range and performance,

and acts as a flagship for the company’s

most advanced driver assistance gizmos.

Tesla Model S

from £77,700 / stuff.tv/TeslaS

This sleek saloon re-writes the rules

for all-electric performance and offers

advanced autonomous driving tech that

most of the other makers are only just

beginning to explore.

Jaguar I-Pace

from £60,995 (with PiCG) / stuff.tv/ipace

Not content with simply making an electric vehicle that can get

you from A to B with minimal fuss (and fuel bills), Jaguar has

created something desirable, fun to drive and impressively

capable when the going gets tough. This car offers Amazon

Alexa integration, smartphone connectivity and a 10in

touchscreen on the upper deck. With the I-Pace, Jaguar

can happily claim to be the first mainstream brand to really

give Tesla something to worry about.

A strong candidate for your eco-conscious cash

Stuff says +++++

A true groundbreaker among high-class EVs

Kano Harry Potter Coding Kit

A magical way to make coding accessible

and fun to learn.

Nintendo Labo VR Kit

++++,from £35 (+ Switch) / stuff.tv/LaboVR

An irresistible mash-up of cardboard-folding

adventures and lo-fi VR entertainment.

Lego Boost Creative Toolbox

£150 / stuff.tv/LegoCreativeToolbox

Building Lego models is already ridiculously good fun, so think

what great a time you’ll have when the completed model turns

into a functioning robot. With the accompanying tablet app, you

can use simple coding to make the robot move, fire projectiles

and play various games. And rather than retiring it to the dusty

shelf once you’re bored, you can rebuild him into four other

programmable models: a harmonica-playing cat, a driveable

rover, a working robot-builder and a playable guitar.

Stuff says +++++

All hail Vernie and friends – for value and sheer fun, it’s

hard to beat this programmable Lego kit

Stuff says +++++

Proves that learning really can be fun

Stuff says +++++

Is the Force strong with this one? You betcha!

Propel Star Wars

X-Wing Battling Drone

£37 / stuff.tv/SWDrone

The Star Wars Battling Drone works indoors

and outdoors, and doesn’t require a licence

or CAA permit to fly. It’s a total blast... just a

shame there’s no camera or app.

Sphero Bolt

£100 / stuff.tv/SpheroBolt

This little rolling ball of tech is great fun, and

educational to boot. We hope your skirting

boards are up to taking a few knocks, but if

your kids have any curiosity about coding it’ll

keep them entertained for months to come.
