We recently ran a competition on our Facebook Fan Page, where we offered £100 of Little Sunflowers vouchers to one lucky participant.
Today we'd like to look at some of the ideas we were given for the 3-6 years old age range.
TV and peer pressure is probably kicking in by this age, so how does that affect their choices?
1) We kicked off the list with a
VTech Camera - our 5 year old has been asking for a camera all year and this one featured in the Toy Retailers Association's list of toys likely to be most in demand this Christmas
2) Antonia suggested train track - and it's true to say that boys and girls alike love playing with trains. The more track the better in our opinion! An
Early Learning centre train set grows with your child.
3) Tinne reminded us that little girls still love
Polly Pocket - and the range just keeps on growing and growing.She also pointed out that
lego is still a winner :)
4)
The Gruffalo was bound to be in the list somewhere, and Keri was the first to mention him. We have a range of
Gruffalo gifts in our online shop, so be sure to check them out!
5) Go go Hamsters seem a popular choice with this age range, as Anna told us - and they're set to become the most popular toy this Christmas!
Have you got yours?
6) In came Keri again with a great Peppa Pig suggestion, proving that Peppa doesn't have to be just for girls.
George's Castle is a great buy. Don't forget our range of
Peppa Pig gifts too!
7)
Kids on Roof ecologically friendly doll houses were a great suggestion from Sophie in Belgium. Sturdy AND good for the environment - you can't lose!
8) Ride on
Trunki suitcases look like loads of fun as well as being practical - another brilliant suggestion from Ailsa. We can already see the stress this would alleviate at the airport!
9) Helen suggested a toy that has lasted well over 3 years for her child - a
VTech laptop. We do love the VTech toys and this looks like another winner.
10) This gorgeous
laser cosmos projector projects the stars and solar system onto your child's bedroom ceiling and walls - it looks fascinating, so thanks to Claire for pointing it out!
11) Darryl gave us a whole host of suggestions, but we particularly liked this range of cardboard built houses, chairs and outfits from
Villa Carton. Children get to decorate their toy before playing with it - what a great idea!
12)
Scalextric was championed by Cheryl, which proves that you can't keep a good idea down - are there any men out there that DON'T recall their first Scalextric track?
13) Dressing up clothes,
Violet The Hippo, Sylvanian Families, Board Games, Books and cake stands were just some of the other suggestions we had - so thanks to everyone for your great suggestions!
What are YOU buying your 3-6 year old this Xmas?
