Children love nothing more than imitating adults and the grown-up things they do, and so these toys are all designed to stimulate their imagination and role-playing fun in a wide variety of ways. Pretend play is also very good for promoting compassion and emotional understanding, and it gives them a worthwhile sense of responsibility at a tender young age!

By Fiona Walker England A must-have accessory for any dog/poodle lover. Polly looks great on either a school bag or handbag as a decorative feature, but she is also very handy for using as a functional keyring for hanging your keys from (I have several of these), as you'll never be rummaging around your handbag searching for that elusive house or car key ever again - so not only is Polly pretty, but she is practical too! A lovely little gift for any age. Also available are the Mini Poodle Head and Poodle Head Hook - both sold separately.

By Brainbox This is a great way to introduce a young audience to the works of William Shakespeare in a fun and engaging way. Each of the cards in this game depict a scene from a famous Shakespearean play. There is also a quotation and a caption to explain what is happening in the plot. You study the card and then answer questions about it from memory! How much will you remember? When the cards are placed in order they then tell the story of the play. The plays include A Midsummers Night's Dream, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet, The Tempest and Twelfth Night. This is a game for grandparents and wider family to all enjoy. It's a great way to improve observation and memory skills, and to familiarise yourself with the works of the great Shakespeare. Suitable from: Suggested 8 years +

Your little ones will love filling this lovely little wooden wagon with all of their favourite toys and taking them on an exciting trip around the house or garden - where will they go and what will they see?

This handmade wooden Toy Chest is a simple wagon and comes with a rope so that you can pull it along or attach it to other wagons.

Sale!By ooh noo What child wouldn’t want to own a lovely little pram like this? It's just adorable! As alluded to in the name, this pram has a quirky feature in that the sides are made with blackboard, meaning your child can use chalks to personalise it. Then, as with blackboards, you can just wipe the chalk off and start again. Not only is the cutest and most stylish of prams for any doll or teddy to travel in, but as a parent I would consider this to be a work of art and it's one of those toys that you don't mind being left out on show! This wonderful pram is also available in White, which is equally adorable. Suitable from: 18 months Size: H 51 cm W 28cm L 48cm Colour: Black
