Educational Child Toys, Play Equipment and Books

Our Top Picks!

Welcome to Top Picks where we do all the hard work and research for you, sourcing quality educational child toys, play equipment and books for you and yours.

Whether you are a first time parent looking for something suitable for your newborn, a doting grandparent, or simply facing the purchase of your first bike then this is the place. Let us help you to make the right choice.


Choosing outdoor play equipment, like swing sets and sandboxes can be a difficult choice for first time parents.

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!
