Do you need a gift to keep a busy two year old entertained, a book to treasure, or your first big purchase of play equipment?
From small educational child toys and books right through to those major purchases we hope that we can make the decision-making process easier for you and take out some of the guesswork involved.

Hope this guide helps you!

Our focus will be on the learning and educational merits of child toys. Also handy tips on safety, age appropriateness, and classic toys that we feel would complement any toy collection.

Books- our favorites for babies 0-2, toddlers 2-4, school aged 4-8 and a special section for the classics: Hans Christian Andersen, Beatrix Potter and more...

Toys-the focus here is on sturdy toys that can be passed from one child to the next. My preference is often for wooden toys as they are really hard to break and usually have less detail on them allowing the child's imagination to 'fill the blanks' to suit the scene. Are you buying for a baby 0-6 months, infant 6-12 months, toddler, child, or even a family toy? Let us help.

Major Purchases- all the things that give you a bit of a headache just contemplating them. Sandboxes, trampolines, outdoor play equipment, toddler play equipment, swing sets, bikes & trikes and all that stuff that kids love but parents dread because of the bumps and scratches involved. (Or is that just my kids?)
This section wouldn't be complete without some essential safety tips!
