It can be difficult trying to think of different gift ideas at Christmas time so here are a few of our favourite ideas for you!
The EasyRead Time Teacher watch
The EasyRead Time Teacher method for telling the time couldn’t be easier! There is a very simple three step method to reading the time on their special watches and clocks. It is easy to explain and easy to understand, my daughter got it straight away!
This is a great present for children learning to tell the time!

Oddboo Bunnies
These unique bunnies and their clothes are all handmade. Designed by the lady owner and made supporting women across the world. We love our Big and Baby Boo Bunnies and they have the most amazing wardrobe!
Each Boo comes with their own pyjamas and an outfit depending which Boo you choose. Once you have a Boo Bunny you can add to their wardrobe with seasonal clothes, superhero costumes, pyjamas, bags, shoes….. our children really love their bunnies and the clothes make great presents and rewards for them!
You can also buy drawstring bags to take them with you on adventures as they will have to go everywhere with you!
Oddboo also seek the most beautiful and quality handmade Kikoy towels and shawls, again supporting the lady makers. I would highly recommend them, we have both and the towel especially is huge, hooded and amazing quality.

This blanket has a soft reverse so it is comfy to snuggle under and it is big enough for the whole family-believe me!
This is one of those items that once you have one you won’t know how you lived without it!

Learning Resources Botley Robot
This robot is great to play and learn with. You can plan little routes for Botley, direct him around obstacles, collect items by inputting the moves into a hand held remote which sends the instructions to Botley. As he follows out your instructions he makes cute little noises and sounds as he goes! There is also a follow the line option too and within the instructions are some moves to try to get Botley to say secret messages!
A great fun and educational toy! You can choose various pack options-just the robot or with the extra items such as obstacles and there is a new Botley model out now too.

Green Earth Learning have lovely scavenger hunt bags with little wooden discs hand painted with items to find. They come in great handy little cotton bags to take on your walks. There are bags per season and also lovely hand painted games, numbers, alphabet and story discs too on their website

Little Brian Paintsticks
If you haven’t tried these before they will revolutionise your painting at home! They are paintsticks that you simply wind up to get the paint. They are easy for little hands to wind and use and the best bits-they are very mess free and dry extremely quickly! These are a crafting must have!

Schleich Animals
We love our Schleich animals for some free play. We have both farm and wild animals, though all the animals play happily together! The animals make lovely keepsake collections to be played with for genertaions. They are a great idea for adding to over the years at birthdays and Christmas to build up a collection.
As well as the animals there are stables, buildings, tree houses, horse world, dinosaurs, fantasy and advent calendars!

Sylvanian Families
I played with these when I was younger and some of my Sylvanians are now my children’s to play with! Sylvanian Families never fail to engage our children, all the little details, different houses, shops and set ups to play with and lay out. There is always some party or picnic or event happening in our Sylvanian world! They are really detailed and make great collectible toys (offers are often available so look out for them!)

Lego
I can’t have a gift idea list without mentioning Lego! We are big fans of Lego with a big box of duplo that is still played with and lots of kits received from birthdays and Christmas. My daughter is a big fan of Lego friends with their little characters and all the little details, such as the Treehouse and Turtle rescue. At 5 she is able to put the models together from the instructions with minimal assistance. The kits where you can make several different items from the same kit are excellent, such as the Creator three in one shark kit! (Again shop around as there are often offers to be had!)
