The Best Toys for Learning & Play for Infant to Toddler

Toys for learning and play are really important for infants to toddlers. From newborn it’s all about sensory stimulation – they’ll be able to visualise objects from around 8-10 inches away but they won’t yet be able to see things in full colour. By six months your baby will be investigating the relationship between ’cause and effect’, they’ll be itching to sit up and like a sponge, they’ll be taking in the entire world around them. From 12 months onwards, your baby will become a very curious toddler; they’ll need encouragement and support to take their first steps along with activities to help them absorb ideas and interact with others around them.

Fisher Price products were always favourites in our household when we were little kids, and it’s no surprise that times haven’t really changed, the toys have though! Here’s my favourite collection of kit to inspire, teach, encourage and entertain your child from the very beginning.

Heelys Rolls Into Spring With New Collection

Heelys, the original two-in-one wheely shoe launched in 2000, is preparing for the upcoming Easter holidays with its new spring collection. Ideal for encouraging an active, healthy lifestyle, the stylish designs will ensure kids (big and small) will roll through the holidays with ease.

The collection consists of 19 designs, including three brand new Heelys shapes: Reserve Ex, Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood. The Reserve Ex has a basketball shoe style, while the Reserve Low and Pro 20 Half Flood tap into the current Y2K trend for an extra chunky sole.

Match your Heelys to your mood, with designs split across two main aesthetics – a darker colour scheme vs. a lighter, spring-inspired palette. Think camouflage print, graffiti text and paint drips contrasting with pastel colours, tie-dye, metallic laces, foil and rainbow print.

Available in the UK and Europe on the Heelys website and retailers, the collection is available in sizes C12-7 across single or two-wheeled styles. RRPs range from £49.99 to £69.99.
