Aidan was absolutely thrilled to test out the Beas

Aidan was absolutely thrilled to test out the Beast Lab Shark Beast Creator in his lab recently, as it has been rated the top toy for boys this festive season - worldwide!!!

The step by step process kept him on his toes and it was absolutely thrilling to watch! With over 80 sounds and smoke, it was very dramatic and fun to say the least. But seeing his delight once his Shark character was revealed, was just priceless. (There are two different characters) The cool part about the Beast Lab is that the experiment can be done again with the refill packs!

The Beast Lab Creator and their refills are available from @hamleys_south_africa @toykingdomsouthafrica @toyzone_za @toysrus_za @takealotcom
