Have a look through the categories in the toy stores.  There are Games that fire the imagination, role play games, wooden educational toys, electronic toys, dolls, cars, pushchairs and outdoor toys and Games such as cycles, swings, playhouses and trampolines.

If it’s a toy for a girl, decide whether she likes to play with Dolls or teddy bears. Does she like to play indoors or outdoors? Or maybe she is an outdoors person and loves to roller skate or play football?  If it’s a toy for a boy, does he like stuffed toys, Thomas the tank engine train sets or does he play outdoors with pedal cars and bikes? Would he love a Spiderman costume or batman car? Or maybe he would love the Batman and Spiderman action figures.  All children love the Toy Story action figures.  Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Jesse action Dolls appeal to both boys and girls.

Dolls are always a number one favourite with children. Girls like Baby dolls and fashion dolls, and the boys like action figures.  Girls can choose from the Baby Annabell range or Barbie. Baby Annabell is a very huggable Baby doll your child will love to feed and change. Barbie is an action doll that can be dressed in the latest fashions and has a good variety of accessories to accompany her very active social life.  Both dolls have lots of clothes to choose from.

Dolls’ prams and buggies are extremely popular and will fit most of the baby dolls available on the market. It can be difficult to imagine what size the fully constructed doll’s high chair or push chair will be, so check the dimensions online before you buy.  If you are buying a pram or trolley as a gift, check what size of doll the child plays with to make sure it will fit her best-loved dolls. 

Remote control cars are a great buy, not only will your child love playing with them but so will the adults.  There are all kinds of cars, planes, helicopters and motorbikes to choose from.  There are budget models or you can buy a hobby level RC car.  Remote control cars include Range Rover, Lamborghini and bright red Ferrari models.

Bath time is a precious time for babies and younger children.  They love the water and it’s one of the best times of the day to talk and bond with your child.  The best bath toys will fire your child’s imagination.  They can be simple plastic bath characters, animals or more complicated bath toys.  Disney does a fabulous range of Mickey Mouse, Disney princess or Tigger bath toys. They are wonderful pretend play toys and he’ll love making up new stories as he plays with the models of his favourite characters.

Another favourite is a bubble maker.  These machines attach to the side of the bath with suckers.  Fill them with bubble maker solution and they’ll spurt out bubbles by the hundreds.  Kids of all ages love to pop the bubbles as they flow from the machine.
