Game suitable for up to 2.5m players

The Early Learning Centre has incorporated the current recession in its product range by launching a play-at-home Job Centre set for children aged 3-8.  The kit includes a counter window with toughened glass, lots of forms to fill in and a range of patronising responses to excuses for failing to find work.

‘We’ve always tried to make toys that educate children about the world,’ said a spokeswoman for the ELC, ‘and there’s no doubt this will stand them in good stead for when the time comes to claim benefits themselves.’  The product was tipped to be a Christmas best-seller, but sales slowed after children were pushed to the back of the queues for display models by their parents.
