Taf Toys North Pole Ball Drop Stacker
Simple toys are often the best and the ones most loved by younger children and this box stacker with a ball drop is perfect for children aged 6 months +. Made up of 3 individual boxes in a North Pole animal theme (perfect for Christmas), 2 colourful balls and 3 textured sensory balls the set encourages children to build a tower and drop the balls through the hole at the top of the boxes to watch it come through all the boxes. The boxes can be stacked in any way and it will work the same as long as the holes line up.
Not only is this toy lots of fun it's a great educational and sensory toy too, teaching cause and effect as well as offering lots of sensory opportunity with the textured balls. opportunity
Kikkerland Catch a Bug Wooden Fishing Game
I love gifting wooden games and toys at Christmas for kids as I find they tend to last and last. This wooden fishing game from Kikkerland is a great option and is both fun and educational helping children recognise animals, fine-tune their concentration skills, and practice their fine motor skills too. The game requires children to use a chunky wooden frog and to "catch" all 11 animals with the frog's tongue which is a long piece of red string with a magnet on the end. It's lots of fun and perfect for kids aged 3+.
Connetix Magnetic Tiles set
If you are looking for a gift that a child will play with for years and years to come then you should definitely consider a Connetix set! The sets come in a variety of sizes and designs but I would encourage you to pick the largest set your budget can allow as that means you get more tiles and can be more creative. The set below is the Pastel creative set which contains 120 pieces in 8 pastel colours and a variety of shapes. The Connetix sets are great for STEAM learning as well as encouraging the development of fine motor skills and use of the imagination of course.
The great thing about Connetix also is that as your child grows you can add more sets etc and all sets fit together. Connetix is aimed at children 3+ but even my 9 year old still love creating with Connetix!
Kikkerland On the Go Magnetic Shapes
Perfect for kids on the go for at home, this handy little tin of magnetic shapes and pictures will kids entertained for ages. The set comes with 10 cardboard sheets each displaying a picture. The child then needs to use a variety of mixed magnetic shapes to recreate the picture, it is then all stored in the tin when not in use.
