children's umbrellas

5.7.11 • , , , , , , •

yes it's summer but consider these facts...a) it's been unseasonably wet, b) it's better to be prepared for rain before you actually get wet, and c) kids love a brollie whatever the weather. and so today I give to you my pick of the best umbrellas...

outdoor play houses

12.5.11 • , , , , , •

play houses are tricky...they bring a lot of pleasure to small folk but there are a lot of bad ones out there. not only are they pricey but they're going to sit in your garden for a while so best choose wisely (and be prepared to paint them - I'd advice black with yellow windows like derek jarman's cottage)

as sweet and homely as a bit of cress growing out of an eggshell is, it's not quite as cool as one of these dinosaurs tip toeing along your window sill now is it! (and if you're not exactly percy thrower then these little beasts can be used to store your pencils in too)

gardening toys

it's hard to beat a bit of pottering in the garden...digging in dirt, sprinkling with water, sweeping and transporting makes for a very happy playtime...and lots of fresh air and physical play means that the kids are sure to sleep well (bonus!)

all this sunny weather leads to hours of outdoor fun - yippee! but the kids can't run around forever (can they??) even toddlers need to sit down eventually (don't they??) relax...these child-sized deckchairs should tempt them into giving you five minutes peacechildren's deckchairs toddler kids abc habitat plain personalised reefer sail company recylced

teepees are big yes, but there is much peepo fun to be had from them and when playtime is over you can stash all the toys away inside them. (they also provide a nice bit of garden shade if/when the weather hots up)

stacking cups are a bit of a must-have toy. a happy time can be spent making tall towers or fitting one inside the other. great in the bath and in the sandpit (and they prove quite useful as an emergency bowl when out and about at mealtimes too)

as your toddler grows in confidence you may want to invest in a trike...a step up from smaller ride-on toys (these bad boys turn corners rather than only going in a straight line - and some even have pedals. steady!)
