    Default More toys

    I need some more toys. Here is what I have.

    Fifi stack up game
    Train track
    Toy cars
    Musical instruments
    Books
    Moshi Monsters
    Farm playset
    Littlest pet shop and playset
    toy babies in a cot
    Activity cube (like the ones you have at the doctors)
    Lego



    We go to the toy library every two weeks and this week I have
    Magnetic blocks
    Wooden hammery toy thing
    Stickle bricks
    Big train track


    There's not that much choice at the toy library and we've had everything already

    No money to buy any either as all my wages pay my rent and I'm not actually mnaking any profit at all

    What about going to some toddler groups to give variety or try using some of your recyclable rubbish to make things for them to play with. A large box can make a hundred things with enough imagination.

    What about pretending to dress for different seasons, using their clothes or stuff you have at home?

    I have a 14 month old and a 20 month old with development delay so not really into the whole dressing up thing at the moment.


    We're getting a wooden toy kitchen in May for my 20 month old's birthday (she's my daughter ) but neither of them are really at the stage yet for role playing

    How about doing more messy play. Put them bothin highchairs to limit mess and give them trays with...

    cornflakes
    cooked pasta/spaghetti
    flour - with/without water
    syrup and spoons
    bubbles and water
    rice and scoop/spoon and cup

    etc, etc

    Hours of fun from things you probably have round the house.
