As soon as autumn arrives the focus turns to Christmas. So many of you are already organised and done most of your shopping. But for those of us (me included) who are not and don't worry about Christmas Shopping until at least November I thought I would put together my top predictions for my most popular toys this Christmas. 

So here goes .....

1. Wooden Ferris Wheel

Having only launched in September, this is quickly becoming a popular toy. It's going on my daughter's Christmas List, beautifilly made and a really unusual playset. 

2. Magic Drawing Board

So often you see these drawing board made out of plastic. This is fantastically sturdy and has such a wide age range potential. 

3. Number Unicorn Puzzle

A new release for 2018, this chunky handmade number puzzle is a lovely educational toy. Can also stand up on a shelf too. 

4. Eric & Albert Father Christmas  - to be released soon. 

Eric & Albert have been a favourite of mine this year, all handmade in the UK and the Christmas lines are super popular. To be launching soon on our website.

 

5. Giraffe Ned 

I love working with british made toys and small businesses. These Neds are made in Cornwall and we have been lucky enough to have had these animal print Neds made exclusively for us. Giraffe is the most popular so far. 

6. Zoo Play Set

I love a gift which is a complete toy in itself. This carry case includes wooden animals and a scene inside. Definately going to have to hide this one from my little boy. 

7. Penguin Nesting Dolls

A fab sorting toys, the smallest penguin is quite small so only suitable for age 3 pus, although some customers I know have hidden the smallest one until their children have been older. 

 

8. Animals of the Zoo - Alphabet Puzzle

A for Alligator, b for Bear, c for Cat, a perfect learning toy with so many opportunities. Handmade and hand painted jigsaw puzzle.

9. Counting Sticks

Making learning fun by learning number bonds to 10 a visual game. A great resource for children in reception or year 1. 

 

10. Stacking House

Such versatility, use as a house, stable, barn, for stacking

 

I hope this gives you some ideas for presents this year, I am always happy to give recommendations, so please get in touch.
