Post written by Balquis Lets Talk: When I first came across Crocodile Creek, I was instantly taken by the quality of their products, their fun character graphics, and brilliant packaging designs. Monsters Playball comes in two different sizes making it conducive for children of different ages and varying gripping capabilities to play with the toy. Another element I love about Crocodile Creek playballs is the criss-crossy texture of their exterior. This can effectively help a

Post written by Balquis Lets Talk: I had the privilege of being introduced to HABA’s horse series before it hit the market, and what a fan I am. Role-play offers children a forum of unrestricted engagement and expression completely different than playing with prescriptive toys and games. Role-play facilitates discourse and a space where they can emulate those around them. A wealth of developmental benefits occurs during this stage, please read below! Lanu American Indian Hors

Post written by Balquis Lets Talk: I have so much fun exploring toys from all around the world because I know I will always come across a brand that will stand out to me for various reasons. This gorgeous polka-dot bunny rattle, for example, is handmade in America and was designed by a second-generation teddy bear maker! I love facts like that! Little, bunny ears are attached to the ball making it conducive for tiny fingers to clutch on to. It also has a fabric loop tied to i

Post written by Balquis Lets Talk: Not only does this adorable Cottage House come with easy-to-follow instructions for assembly and printed-lines to help children decorate, it also offers children wide-ranging role-play opportunities as well as a creative outlet to embellish their new toy however their hearts desire – with stringy straw, pasta shapes, paint or crayons, dried flowers, popsicle sticks or even feathers. The best part is, the fun doesn’t end there... your child n

Post written by Balquis Lets Talk: Käthe Kruse has been designing and manufacturing toys and dolls for over 100 years. One of their unique selling points is that their products are handcrafted and produced individually. Handcrafted products cannot be mass-produced, which I greatly favour and advocate. I am such a fan of Dragon Kuno as it has multiple stimulating features to entice sensory exploration in babies and toddlers: it’s tail wiggles when pulled, it’s body jingles whe

Post written by Balquis Lets Talk: I am such a supporter of children products that sincerely have an eco-footprint in the world. Smart Gear’s Balance Bike ticks all the boxes: they use non toxic lacquer and paints, harvest their wood from a replenishable source, the glue they use is free from formaldehyde, and the box, which the bike comes in is made from recycled paper only using water-based ink for printing. This is a wonderful wooden bike for children to practise their bal

Post written by Balquis Lets Talk: I have such great respect for Micro Mobility – the actual inventor of the scooter! They are constant innovators, never compromise on quality, and always put safety at the forefront of their designs. This specific Mini Micro 3in1 is perfect for the youngest of adventurers – they can begin using the seat as a confidence-builder and stabiliser; when they are ready for balancing on one leg, the seat can easily be detached; and when they are fina

Post written by Balquis Lets Talk: Seedling creates and manufactures such a wide variety of exciting, and interactive projects for children; all the bits-and-bobs necessary to complete the activity are included. I think Seedling products make fantastic presents especially when you don’t know the child for whom you are buying. This pirate treasure map can entertain a child for hours: they get to hide their shiny, gold treasure in a bright blue felt pouch in the most trickiest
