What’s special? Rather than just another toy for Mum & Dad to try and sneak in the cupboard or the bin, this makes for a nice keepsake they can treasure when they are older!
5. Coding Toy
We could not pass this Code-A-Pillar by
A wonderful learning toy for preschoolers, the Code-A-Pillar is made up of 8 segments, which can be mixed around to direct the Code-a-pillar to move in a certain direction or do an action – just like coding. Cute and clever!
What’s special?

6.Toys Houses, Toy Buses
We love this OUTERDO Wooden DIY Dollhouse
Note, most contents inside this doll house need to be handcrafted, including furniture. So it’s got enough components to keep the little ones happy after Christmas!
What’s special?
You will receive all the furniture and contents; however, it is your work to put them together. Let them explore their own skills and be proud of what they can do!
A great range of iconic British toy buses can be a great hit – not just for young children and toddlers to play with, but some toy buses for older children with more of an interest! Maybe even Dad or Grandpa! Take a peek here
What about this bus choice?
What’s special?
These toys are great for helping to encourage your child’s cognitive skills, attention and memory – 3 of the 7 key skills we encourage with PlayMama App. They may look like they’re just having fun, but they learn a great deal from these – especially the toy bus from Amazon which helps with the child’s phonetics.

Try some MeTime dedication this Christmas and why not start with an inspiring book? We suggest to start with Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert (the worldwide bestselling author of Eat Pray Love) or you can find what inspires you.
Encourage some ‘down time’ with your kids, give them some quiet games or books and enjoy your new read at the same time.

13. Fitness Wristband
Let’s admit, mums, it is easy to forget about your own New Year Resolution when you are back to the routine after Christmas holidays.
