Stuck for ideas for Christmas presents, here are some timeless but great ideas for your kids, nieces, nephews or grandkids this Christmas; 1.
Classic development Toys - Remember the old Tupperware Shape sorters (my kids have one now!), playdoh, activity centre's, books, blocks, wooden train sets and puzzles all help with memory, understanding and creativity.
2.
Musical Toys - help children with rhythm and beat (and generally we all love making a big noise) Classical wooden drums, rattles, xylophones, keyboards are great fun.
3.
Outside Fun - the world of exploration, discovery and physical exercise - the good old soccer ball, quoits, dump trucks, kites, cubby house, trampoline, pool toys, bucket and spade.
4.
Ride on Cowboys and girls - getting kids moving and developing coordination and keeping active - Bikes, billy carts, scooters and everything in between.
5.
Soft Toys and Dolls - not just for girls! Get the nurturing and caring side of your child to shine through.
From classical teddy bears, dolls of all sorts to Sock Monkeys.
All are classic and traditional soft toys.
Sock Monkeys are funky and retro and can be very nostalgic, with many adults still having their sock monkey from childhood.
They have a yesteryear look, knitted with button eyes and handmade clothes, each one slightly different..
...
Like the crocheted blankets, knitted baby jumpers and knitted dolls that you see at local craft markets, lovingly made by grandma's and mothers around the world.
(As long as they don't smell like Grandma!) Hope these ideas help you this Christmas in getting that special something for your special someone.
