A LUCKY group of children have been given new toys to play with from a popular toy company.

The Treetops day nursery in Wythall has received five Beanie Baby lions all called Rory from the TY Company.

The nursery whose logo is Rory the lion received the cuddly creatures at the beginning of the year.

Now whenever the children go on holiday they can take a lion with them, take pictures and so take an interest in geography.

Catherine Rayment of Treetops day nursery said: "When they return they can share what they have learnt through their holiday with the rest of the nursery."
