OK, I'm trying to boost my Resources ... what are your top must haves???

Good quality things.... and quality over quantity!

small world farm animals,wooden people, wild animals, dinosaurs, trains
duplo, mega blocks
doll/pushchair/blankets/clothes
trucks/cars - big ones with spaces to put people/things
ride on/push along/pull along for toddlers
treasure basket
blankets/wraps/sheets/throws for dens
good selection of books well displayed and accessible
sand
nursery rhyme/sing and dance along CDs
musicla instruments.... real ones, not all plastic!

these are the things that i have that are played with every day by most of the children. I have other items that are permanent fixtures at my house for the children like hobby horses (they love them!) a wooden clock with magnetic numbers and so on but the ones above are the 'core' items that are pulled out every day!

A good supply of basic craft things:

paint brushes
glue
scissors
crayons
pencils
sponge stampers
coloured craft paper
plain white paper
lots of bits to stick on - sequins, paper shapes, feathers etc

lego / duplo not had a kid yet that doesnt like it!

Happyland, played with by all ages, duplo, wooden train, crafts and board games are the most popular here, but I mostly have older boys at the moment.

Same as above, all very popular with mine.

my home corner, kitchen and dollies - the toy toolbox, the sandpit and the garden :laughing:

good range of smallworld:)

I got a load of toys from Argos called the Chad Valley range- they do all sorts of things from art to outdoor toys and are very reasonably priced.
