See and Spell Learning Toy

A great one from Melissa and Doug for children 4 – 6 years learning to spell. This lovely wooden puzzle set helps children gain familiarity with the letters of the alphabet and their sounds as kids develop a sight-reading vocabulary.

We love these story cubes for helping children with idea generation for stories. The purple Rory’s story cubes add in a bit of mystery! Perfect for children 5 years and above.
Great game for children 5 years and above (and adults!). Players race against each other to build crossword grids and use all their letter tiles.

Dalmatian Vet Kit

Thinking of getting a dog? Try this first! Everything you need to take care of your little spotted friend, and a handy crate so your puppy can be by your side wherever you roam!

Embroidery has never been so easy for children 8 years and above, with this adorable puppy & kitten design by Melissa and Doug. The solid wood board provides the perfect canvas for easy stitching as you follow the coloured lines with the matching wool to create your very own embroidery pets!
This one may have appeared here before – we love it! Take turns to slide your swords into the barrel – but you’d better be careful, as one wrong move will send Black Beard flying!

This a flexible bungee pogo which is great for exercise, balance, co-ordination and of course fun! Bounce around on any smooth surface for long-lasting fun.

Sound Puzzle

Great puzzle for children 1 – 2 years. Makes the noises of the animal as the puzzle piece is placed correctly.

When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO worlds, different characters from DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings and The LEGO Movie are swept away. Bring the movie to lifewith this LEGO story pack!
Do we need to explain why this is a brilliant idea for children aged 3-6 years? We love Melissa and Doug toys and activities and this one is great.
How about these yoga mats for some mindful movement? Encouraging yoga and mindfulness from a young age is a great way to help a child learn to calm down when required and stay present in this busy world. And they are really cute!
These First Creations Crayons are suitable for use on surfaces in the bathroom including tiles, shower walls and in the bath. We love them to promote writing and letter formation!
Our hedgehog lost his quills, and only your little ones can help him get them back! New from Learning Resources, Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog helps kids build up hand muscles and fine motor skills as they replace the chunky, peg-shaped “quills” within the holes that dot the smiling hedgehog’s back.
Play your way to preschool learning with The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game! Players take turns spinning the spinner and using the adorable Squirrel Squeezers to pick up matching acorns and place them in their logs.
We love this variation of the favourite Twister game from Kmart! Make your picnic adventures even more fun!

OTHER IDEAS

As listed as one of Opera’s favourite things, Olli Ella’s new collection of kid-sized luggage is cute! The See-Ya suitcase can be wheeled to and from airport gates, stations or around the garden by small folk (2-6 years old).

Sydney Opera House

Consider tickets to one of the fabulous shows at the Sydney Opera House this season. We are excited about The 91-Storey Tree House and Wolfgang’s Magical Musical Circus!

Yumbox was dreamed up to promote balance and nutrition for our kids, regardless of where we live. Now everyone (even kids) can pack a nutritionally balanced meal using Yumbox!
We love these construction eating sets to help get your child eating. Mealtime can be fun and efficient at the same time!

BOOKS

Myth Match

This fantastical flipbook collects together magical and mythical creatures from all over the world, then lets you mix and match their fronts and backs to create even more wondrous beasts of your own. We love using it for writing or drawing inspiration for school aged children.

Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls

Illustrated by sixty female artists from every corner of the globe, Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls introduces us to one hundred remarkable women and their extraordinary lives, from Ada Lovelace to Malala, Amelia Earhart to Michelle Obama. Empowering, moving and inspirational, these are true fairy tales for heroines who definitely don’t need rescuing.

The Day the Crayons Came Home

Watch out – the crayons are back and they’re crosser than ever! One day Duncan receives a set of postcards from his crayons who have been lost, forgotten, broken – even melted in a clothes dryer and stuck to a sock! This book is great fun for children of all ages.
