Educational Toys
Educational Toys these are the beginning of the fun part of your little ones lives. Playing with your baby should be such fun, just like bath times and bedtimes. Although babies are an awful lot of work, enjoy them. You only get the chance once to share their lives at each stage, and you don’t want to miss out on any of it believe us.
Playing with them can be as much fun for you as it is for them! Teaching them colours, shapes, textures, the alphabet to count to ten what animals are what, the trees the birds around them can be so interesting if you make it such.
The toys that are on the market today are bright and colourful, and make such great sounds with lights and allsorts that sharing your time with them and then showing daddy when he walks through the door are the precious moments.
We would strongly advise though that you only purchase new toys and branded ones. No boot sales etc. We totally understand how expensive everything is – so make just one really nice purchase for awhile and then gradually build on it as and when you can – we certainly don’t want you to be bankrupt buying them toys.
Do it slowly, one here and there, maybe a family member might be kind enough to chip in or other friends or aunties or uncles, it doesn’t all have to come from your pocket.
Make sure the toys are safe. That is why we advocate branded and new for safety, no other reason. Unless you have family members who are willing to pass down their toddlers toys as they grow out of them, things like that will always help.
Don’t forget now, set aside a certain time every week or several days a week if you can manage it, and enjoy playing with your little one, these are special memory times we can assure you………..

Although we do not personally sell these, we are still very interested in the entire concept of your little ones. That mean their nutrition, their health, (i.e. jabs etc ) and of course their development.
You ideally need to make learning fun! It will absorb into their minds in a lovely way if they are actually enjoying themselves, you will find that toddlers and babies are like sponges, whether it is good or bad habits they pick them up very quickly by listening and watching…….don;t say we didn’t warn you!
When making your purchases for any sort of toy make sure that you buy a reputable brand. There are so many out there on the market you are spoilt for choices.
Bright and colourful, loud and interesting that is what you are aiming for. Grab their attention, when they are very young, their attention span is just a very short time, then they will get bored and want to move on to something else. So make sure it is interesting with lights and sounds. Sit with them and explore and explain everything.
When your toddler is trying to walk, help them up the stairs and down and count the stair as you both go. There are lots of little tips that are simple things – but they all add up.
When out and about in the car if you pass a field with animals in it tell them what they are and make the sound of the animal. We know it sounds nutty, but it works.
Children need stimulation, in order to learn and understand that you cannot put something that is round into a square hole! This is your job.
You will find that you are having as much fun as your little one by the end it all. Learning is fun make it such!

We would like to change the subject for a moment to talk to you about Developmental Toys for your baby. Buying clothes and toys for your little ones are the fun part. Every women on the planet likes to go shopping and buying toys is fun for everybody.
When you first have your baby you are tired and stressed out getting into a routine, and with regards to toys they would really be only soft plush cuddly animals and friends at this stage.
After the first few months though things can start to get really interesting. There are a lot of good brands that do toys that help baby to recognise colours and shapes and sounds. You want to make it simple but fun at first, nothing to heavy or complicated for them. Little things like mirrors and sounds things that make them laugh and smile are great fun.
In the bath is also a good place. You can buy just a cheap plastic yellow duck – simple things like this but they will give your little one tons of pleasure. They might even make you laugh too.
As they grow and develop you can start getting into more sophisticated toys. You can now get a small computer by Vi-Tech these are not cheap toys but they will give your little one a really good start in life, which is what it is all about really but in a fun way.
We would like to make a small point here: Please do not be tempted to buy toys from market places or boot sales etc. We urge you to purchase proper brands from reputable shops and stores around the country. You should be able to find bargains between the high streets, shopping centres and on the web. Our motto here is Safety First.

We would like to take a moment out of the day to talk to you about learning. This can be made to be such fun nowadays for your little one. In order to teach them the social skills they are going to need later on in life, you want to get started slowly while they are young. Babies and toddlers are like a sponge. They just absorb everything around them, colours, lights, sounds and shapes. That is why around the six months mark they are perfect for all the fun development toys that are out there now to buy. It is fun at that age trying to put a round peg in a square hole.
Cars or trucks that light up. Most toddlers like to play with bricks. They like to build things. We would urge you to purchase new toys, if you really cannot afford them, and you have to have second hand, then please serilise them before you give them to your little one – as you are no doubt well aware everything for the first few months go straight into their little mouths as they suck and chew on stuff.
Make sure everything is clean before they try to eat it. If you have any pets, please keep them away from your babies toys.
You will be spoilt for choice when looking for toys for your little one. There are so many brands nowadays and places like Toys R Us to go to and you can nearly always get a reasonable price for them.
You will find that after you have put down baby for the evening you will also get a lot of fun playing with the new toys as they arrive in the different stages of learning.
See babies can be great fun….
