TOY CATEgORIES
BABY TOYS
Playtime helps develop a baby’s social, intellectual, language, and problem-solving skills. Toys and games aid your child in learning to master motor skills and figuring out how the world works.
CONSTRUCTION
Anything that connects items together, whether it’s Mr Potato Head, Marble Runs, Dominoes, Lego Duplo, Building Blocks or anything that can be fitted or constructed can be found in our Construction section. Construction is a great way to work on those fine motor skills!
EDUCATIONAL
Our educational Toys encourage specific learning areas such as Literacy, Maths, Science, Music etc. and are often more expensive than “regular toys” as (hopefully) more thought has gone into the educational benefits and the usefulness for your child and they are more often built to last.
GAMES
Games offer great benefits. Not only do they teach practical skills such as counting, reading and strategic thinking, but they also offer many social lessons, such as taking turns, cooperation and patience. Games are a great way for families and friends to spend time together.
MUSICAL
We have a small selection of mostly percussion musical instruments and toys that promotes sound discrimination as well as fostering an interest in music.
Children are naturally interested in music, and music is naturally good for children.
PRETEND PLAY
From costumes to cooking, from playsets to play tables, this category broadly covers elements in developmental play that will interest your child, no matter what area of pretend play they are interested in. We have toy kitchens and benches, imaginative play toys and transport sets.
PUZZLES
Puzzles are an important educational learning tool for people of all ages, as we like they way they challenge our thinking and exercise our minds. From toddlers to adults, puzzles provide many skills and mental learning benefits and opportunities.
Water play
Water play allows for sensory exploration where young children can enhance their communication skills and motor skills, and can greatly accelerate their cognitive development.
