The classic push along toy, great for encouraging walking and balance.  When I bought one for ebabee no.1 I had a root around to see what was around and I wasn’t disappointed.

There’s a whole range of these super colourful push alongs including an elephant, lion, pig and more.  The bright beads on the wheels make a fun ‘clacking’ noise when pushed.  They cost £8.50 plus £2.95 for delivery from Clementine toys.  Ebabee no.1 is the proud owner of the monkey and even though we’ve had it a while, it still comes out to play everyday.

While on the search I also came across a range of flappy feet bird push alongs.

From JLR Toys, the duck and the pelican cost £11.95 with £4.99 delivery.  The lipstick red beak on the duck and the flame orange on the pelican does it for me.  The blue penguin costs £14.99 plus £4.95 delivery from Stork Gifts.  All 3 have large flappy feet which which add to the pushing along fun!

"maileg matchbox mouse""maileg mouse house"

I steer clear of anything remotely rodent related; mice, rats, the lot… they really creep me out!  But today I came across a mouse that I loved.  It’s the Maileg mouse, made by an imaginative Danish company.  This Maileg mouse comes with a mouse house that has a roof designed to look like cheese, a matchbox bed complete with mattress, pillow and knitted blanket.  For daytime fun the mouse (you can choose boy or girl) has a cotton reel table with tablecloth, chair, teapot and tea cup.  And the doorway even has a little bell and crocheted doormat.  It’s these tiny details that really appealed as they’re great for encouraging imaginative play.

If you don’t want the whole mouse with the house then they also have some lovely Maileg matchbox mice.  The mice come with a matchbox containing mattress, pillow and blanket.  Or you can even buy the little mice by themselves… so cute! Prices start from £7.75 and White Shore has a big selection. 

If these mice have appealed to you, then check out these whimsical mice mobiles for babies… they’re cute and unique!

Rock-on Rosa & Olga

August 5, 2010

We mean exactly that – rock-on Rosa and Olga as they’re 2 seriously cool rocking horses.

Rosa’s sleek lines made of smooth tough ash wood with a stainless steel handle all combine to create a simple yet stunning horse.  I could go on raving about this wooden beauty but I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.  It costs 110 euros  + 16 for delivery to the UK, and is suitable from 18 months plus. I’m seriously thinking 2nd birthday present for ebabee no.1.

Olga is Rosa’s pretty cousin! The curves of this wooden horse give it softer feel. Olga costs £109.99 with free delivery and is suitable from 2 years on. Some may even say it resembles santa’s sleigh so the ideal christmas present?  These wooden horses are so wantable that you may even be tempted to leave them out to be admired by your visitors!

"automoblox cars"No, not the latest Ferarris,  I’m talking Automoblox – the super cool build your own cars that encourage creativity and imagination in little kids (and big kids too).  They make classic cars, sports cars, convertibles, trucks and more.  The pieces are interchangeable so your child can build the car of their dreams.  They’re made of beech wood, will last for years and years and can become quite a show-off collection.  They’re beautifully made and really do look quite stunning so it’s no wonder that they’ve won several awards.

I’d been eyeing this toy for months but Anya was a bit young for the beauty that is this French cow.  As soon as she came of age, I went online found the bright wooden shape sorter at tickety-boo, paid £21 and then waited with great anticipation.  Four days later,  I opened up the box and there she was in all her multi-coloured glory.  She was small but perfect.  Cachatou maggy has 6 holes with 6 different shapes to slot in to them but Anya is more interested in loading all her lego in to cachatou maggy.  Still, she does love her as do I and so this wonderful cow sits proudly on display on a shelf made especially for her.
