1. Automoblox Cars
These cars are hot. Super sleek design, fantastic colours, smooth wooden bodies. And now they're available as minis. They're build your own toys and the best part is that the pieces are interchangeable between models so your toddler can really create the car of their dreams. This toy is great for encouraging creativity and imagination and can become quite an enviable collection. They cost from £8.99 for the minis, are suitable from 3 years plus and not surprisingly, they've won many awards too. I'm thinking hot, hot, hot stocking fillers.
2. Push Along Toys
The classic push along toy, great for encouraging balance and walking. Orange Tree toys make some super bright and colourful wooden ones which are just the ticket for babies on the verge of walking. Although my toddler, who's mastered the art of walking still loves hers and brings it out to play everyday. Choose from a monkey, cow, elephant and more. The little beads on the wheels make a clacking noise when pushed which just adds to the fun. And with prices from £6 -£10, they're fantastic value too. You can find a good selection on Amazon.
3. Elephant Elements - A book about opposites
Books. No toddler can have too many. Elephant Elements is one which ranks very high on my toddler books list. It's got cool illustrations, it's entertaining, it's a great way to teach opposites. Every page has two elephants doing opposite things. The book is funny and clever and will appeal to parents too. It costs £9.99 from Amazon and makes for a smiley, happy stocking filler or a main gift for your own toddler or for some elses'. This book is oh so lovely!
4. Food
Play food, that is. The talented folks at Ikea have got some super-duper cloth play food in their new collection. And as always with Ikea, you get style and design without the chunky price tag. Checkout the Ikea Duktig food range which has a fourteen piece vegetable set, a nine piece fruit set and a fifteen piece breakfast set. And the best bit, they're just £5.99 each. They're bright, they're beautiful and include details like cutting boards and fruit baskets and can be stuck in the washing machine too. They're only available in store at the moment so you'll have to get down there.
5. A Cool Kimono Top
Sorry boy owners, this last ones just for the girls. If your girl is a budding fashion queen, she'll love this kimono top (and so will you!) from a lovely online shop called Isak. The graphic print in sunshine yellow and turquoise blue is fresh and cool. It comes with a detachable sash in the same print which can also double up as a super trendy hair band. It's 100% cotton, free of nasty toxic dyes, available in sizes from 1year to 5 and costs £9. It comes from the house of Isak, a shop full of stuff that's oh, so stunning!
