My own children are all teenagers now, but when they were little my house was full of toys! I used to spend forever in toy shops at christmas and birthdays....was it suitable for their ages, was it safe, too big, too noisy? If it was expensive, how long would it last and would they outgrow it quickly? I'm sure i'm not the only parent to ask these questions!
I often get asked by first time grandparents what they should buy for baby. I've also known parents who have all boys, and then suddenly need to buy a present for a girl, phone me up in a total panic!
We are writing a series of articles about toys, from the buying stage onwards. Examples include what to look for when buying toys, toy safety, safe outdoor play, what makes a good baby toy and choosing educational toys. We have asked some local mums with babies and young children to contribute to these articles and would also love to receive more contributions! Please contact us if you would like to see your own article or toy review here!!
