Rutschi Indoor Slide

This would be great for older kids during all this rain!

Tea anyone?

I can't wait to play tea with my little one. This Knox and Floyd set is available from Ten Little Indians.

Vitual Advent Calendar

Up to Ten have a cool, online Advent Calendar. You click on the date each day for an interactive surprise.

(Note: the pic above is not the actual calendar on the site, just a Christmassy image I found around the net).

Possible Christmas Fun

A few Mums have mentioned to me that they have already done the Xmas shopping. YIKES!

I've started to have a look, but have not made any purchases as yet.

This ride-on mouse by Wheely Bug is currently top of my list. Available from honeybee toys.

Trunki Ride-On Suitcase

This suitcase/organiser/ride on toy looks like it would be so much fun. And apartment-friendly too, as it serves as a storage space, once playtime is over (.......till tomorrow).

We bought it recently for a friend's one-year-old. Thanks for the ideas sent in response to our post last week!

It can be found at Urban Baby.

Mat option #2

We have sold the outdoor setting, installed something a little smaller and are ready to put down the 'play mat'.

Our first option is the Skip Hop mat. The second is this SoftMat. This one is portable as well - and comes with a carry bag.

Just can't decide..........

Funky Flooring

The area we have cleared to make way for playtime is currently tiled. This innovative floor mat will cushion Holly's knees as she enjoys her toys.

The mat can be purchased from Skip Hop directly.

It comes in a variety of colour patterns, which are interchangeable. It's just like an extra-large jigsaw puzzle!

Easy Rider

Holly is nowhere near being able to ride a bike yet, but I can always look! She'd look so tough on this ride.

Early Riders are designed with no pedals, to be pushed along using the feet, so the child learns to balance quicker than if they had training wheels. That's the theory anyway. This bike looks like so much fun - they'd be riding in no time!

Kidostore in Sydney stock these.
