Todays Tip Selecting a Toy

Nothing beats being able to play with a toy before you buy it so still the best place to buy your toys is in a shop that has knowledgable staff and examples of the product on display.

But I here you cry shops are more expensive than the web. well this may be true to some extent but dont forget delivery costs, hanging around for the actual courier, problems if there is a faulty, spares and of course you can walk away with your item then and there.

Don't forget children love going to toy shops if you don't support your local one then it will close and you will deprive your children of an important part of growing up. Can you imagine no childhood memories of going to a toy shop I know I can't.

Todays Tip - Toy Cleaning

If a plain wooden toy gets marked or scuffed it can often be lightly sanded to remove the mark. Just use a good quality fine sandpaper.

Todays Tip

Select the right toys for the right age, you don't need loads of different toys to engage a child's interest.

Don't be afraid to rest toys ie remove them for a few days/weeks and then reintroduce them.
