Toys, toys, toys.
At nearly 10 months old Ethan loves to play! He's at that age where he is just about to start crawling (I keep saying that it's going to be any day, because he's so nearly there!) and he needs more and more entertainment. We've got to the point where a couple of weeks ago I took him over to Toys R Us (45 mins in the car...) just to browse, to see what toys he liked the look of. Well - that ended up with him asleep in his pram and me, at 25 years old, spending what was probably an hour and a half browsing each aisle by myself, playing with all of the toys... haha :)
Our current three favourites
With all of my newly gained knowledge of the many different products out there in the big world of toys, and it is a BIG world. These are our three current picks for between the age of 6 months to 36 months. They're all from House of Fraser and can be found in their online toy section. I'll also link to each one below it's photograph. :)
1.
Vtech Splash & Learn Duck
Rubber ducks have gone high-tech with VTech! This cute little duck floats in a ring and encourages play through phrases, exciting sounds, sing-along song and music. It's brilliant for teaching first words and encouraging listening skills. For us - this was a no-brainer; Ethan adores bath time and playing with all of his toys in the bath and this has just made bath time that much more fun for him! 2.
Hamleys Push me spinner This one looks as though it is sadly no longer available to buy from House of Fraser but can probably be picked up elsewhere. It's a rotating musical spinner and it just captures Ethans attention straight away. It's suitable for 6 months+

Vtech Baby's LaptopEthan can be just like Mum now and start himself up his own little blog with his first laptop from Vtech. In our top 3, you may have noticed that we have 2 Vtech branded products and that is because we actually love their toys so much. Ethan plays with his Vtech toys more than any other brand and I think it's because they make their toys so engaging and bright. This laptop is amazing and has fast become a favorite toy of his! Featuring 2 play modes teaching abc`s, colours, numbers and shapes for lots of learning fun during playtime! It introduces animals; cat, dog and bird and their sounds.There's also 6 uplifting sing-along songs and 12 soothing melodies in music mode. Includes piano keys for fun play and a directional mouse button. It's an absolutely fabulous toy! All products we're picked by us from http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk and can be purchased over on their website. We we're given a store-credit to pick our favorite toys and share them with you.
