PreSchool & Baby Learning Toys
Preschool Toys
As babies grow out of the colourful baby toy stage they are introduced to a new exciting world. Preschool Toys are integral to their development as they find their feet and begin to explore their surroundings. Pushing, pulling and seeing how things work along with imaginative play and role-play keeps toddlers’ minds stimulated and improves motor skills.

Baby Toys Learning Games and Playsets
Making a mess is all part of the fun when using paints and inks but there is now a no-mess solution with the introduction of Aquadraw play mats and pens. These have proved very popular, especially with parents who don’t have to clean up afterwards. Special pens are filled with water. When dry these masterpieces gradually fade away ready for another work of art to be produced.
Vtech Toys & Learning Systems, Children’s Ride On Toys
It appears it’s never too young to start taking photos which is why Kids Digital cameras have remained the best-selling toys throughout the year. VTech’s Kidilook in pink or blue is a great gadget for 3 years olds up who will be able to view their picture wherever they are. Photos can be transferred from their Kidizoom camera or uploaded from a PC.
Construction Preschool Toys
Playing with construction toys is great for imagination and improving fine motor skills. Boys and girls both enjoy putting things together and learning precise hand movements. The popular Meccano sets provide multiple models to build that are simple colourful and fun.
The Kids Play range is a high-quality set that features strong flexible parts and eyes to give the character’s personality. Kids as young as two years old can create something.
Playmobil recycling trucks and Sprig Eco Toys reflect our changing world and concerns for protecting the planet. Kid-powered toys are growing in popularity as parents see the benefits of toddlers using their legs to do the work instead of a battery.
Kids Ride-on
The Wheelybug ride-on is a good unisex option. It comes in two sizes so will take a child from toddler to school age. It has multi-directional castors for easy manoeuvrability. This encourages the use of lower limb muscles in addition to developing spatial awareness.
The innovative Didicar came on the scene in 2007 and moves by simply swaying from side to side and moving the steering wheel. Boys and girls can choose to customise their vehicles from a collection of stickers.
Children’s TV programmes have a great influence and educational value to them and the arrival of new shows such as Waybuloo, Timmy Time and the WotWots. All of these have their own lineup of products, plush, soft toys and games released at Christmas.
Noddy makes a welcome return with plush characters, vehicles, and playsets from the new TV show. Infants will love the Noddy Motor Mix Vehicles featuring a helicopter and monster truck that come with tunes and lights.
Peppa Pig Learning Toys
Peppa Pig already has her own fan club and this is set to grow with the Princess Peppa collection of figures, playsets, vehicles and castle. Fifi and the Flowertots, Dora the Explorer, Noddy, Thomas and Friends, Roary and Postman Pat also have their own range of products. These include plush figures, accessories, backpacks, laptops, floor puzzles, cars, walkie talkies and games.
Fisher Price has been inspiring creativity and encouraging development for generations and is a trusted name in toys. Their extensive preschool toys include Laugh & Learn, Stack N Surprise, Go Baby Go, Kid-Tough Digital Camera and Little People. The Bounce & Spin Zebra did very well in 2008 and now comes in pink. Other pink toys released include: the pink Laugh & Learn Pink Musical Chair, Sooth & Glow Seahorse, and the Brilliant Basic Activity Centre.
There are plenty of Preschool Toys offering variation in play and learning to hold a young child’s interest for longer. Mega Bloks 3 in 1 Play N Go Table is foldaway with building plates, figures, blocks and a car.
