AnonyMouse_14268 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 We have 22 leaving us for school, and 15 two and a half year olds starting!!! This is going to be a complete culture shock again. I am thinking of purchasing some new toys that are more suitable for the younger children again, just wondered if anyone had any great ideas?

AnonyMouse_35577 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Some lovely fabrics - different colours and textures. Ours are used for dens, table cloths, dressing up or anything else they decide that day!
Guest Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 how about some of the lovely things from here? .... http://www.mindstret...61&mystartrow=1 what an amazing website, thank you finleysmaid. Think my virtual shopping list is at about £500 so far, once again this fab forum has given me inspiration
AnonyMouse_1469 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Mindstretchers are fabulous.................................I really love the felt balls with holes in them, a really nice 'fiddle' toy
AnonyMouse_30128 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 glad you're liking it! ...my other favourite is this one (if only my trustees hadn't stopped any spending!!) http://www.myriadonline.co.uk/index.php
SueFinanceManager Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Chunky crayons/chalks for mark making Brio stuff always great and hard wearing Duplo great for little hands and too big to swallow Wooden puzzles or puzzles with bigger pieces
AnonyMouse_41300 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Lots of real resources, real clothes, shoes (not shop bought dressing up clothes), little baskets of things like keys, purses, scarves etc. (charity shops really good, also fabric shops bargain boxes). Sand on floor level we find really important - little ones can't reach into sand tray. Hope this helps
