Aimed at 5 to 7 year olds under 122 centimetres tall, this high-quality comfortable outfit consists of trousers with elastic waist, long-sleeved tee-shirt with a spider on the back and front and a balaclava-like mask with holes for the eyes and mouth. Youngsters are not burdened with buttons, shoes or gloves and our normally slow dressing five year old tester could discard his own clothes and deck those of Spider-Man within the minute.

Combating evil is not a sedentary affair, so expect lots of action. When the imagination is fully activated, there will be plenty of scaling the walls of pretend skyscrapers, weaving webs and jumping from one building (or chair) to the next. Getting dirty is an occupational hazard when saving the universe and so parents will be pleased to know that the 100 per cent cotton outfit washes as good as new--in a 30 degrees wash--for the next day's activities. This playsuit will thrill youngsters, encouraging creative thought and play with each new game and storyline. For Spider-Man fans there is only one place to order the costume--on the Web of course! --Tracey Hogan.
