Our favourite toys

I get asked a lot where you can buy the reosurces we have in our classes. So I’ve created a little gift guide with some of our favourite toys that we use regularly during our sessions.

They range from our small links through to some larger toys.

I’ve also tried to include some information on how the resources benefit your baby’s development.

Hopefully it will help give you some ideas for your little one's.

I've included brands and toys that we are really familiar with and are loved by the little ones who came to our in person sessions. There are lots of other manufactures of similar toys, and lots of the toys are available in different textures, please do your research to choose the toy best to suit your needs.

I've linked each toy photo to amazon for ease ( these are affiliate links) but please do shop around, to ensure that you are getting the best price. Lots of these are available second hand too.
