We have put together our top 5 stocking fillers for children this Christmas, to make your Christmas shopping experience as easy as possible.
#1 Musical Toys
Musical toys are a great way to encourage children to be creative and express themselves through music. As well as enhancing their memory and boosting their cognitive skills, we have many musical toys that will fit into a stocking. For a sure way to put a smile on your little ones’ face on Christmas Day, add one of our musical toys; you can even have a sing along to some Christmas classics!
The Rainbow Recorder is ideal as an introduction to music, as they develop their sensory awareness skills from the different pitches the recorder makes as they cover different holes with their fingers. It may be a bit harder to wrap, bit the Tildo Mini Tambourines are available in a variety of colours and will help to teach young children rhythm. At only 11.5cm in diameter, they are ideal for little fingers to hold and shake along to Jingle Bells!

If your little one is getting a pretend kitchen for Christmas, or they already have one, our fabric play food is the perfect addition to any stocking. From colourful fruit and vegetables to Haba Hamburger and French Fries .Our range of fabric play food is very beneficial for young children to learn about different food types. What’s more, little ones can learn to share with one another and play shopping games or even pretend to cook in their new pretend play kitchen!
