Toddler Activities — Wooden Toys for Babies and Young Children

The first five years are unlike any others. In that window, children learn to hold things, stack things, sort things, name things, and make sense of a world that's entirely new to them. Every toy they pick up is a tiny experiment. Every puzzle piece is a question. Every pull-along train is a cause-and-effect lesson they're teaching themselves without knowing it.

Our Toddler Activities collection is built around this reality. With 78 toys spanning baby teethers through to rocking horses and £145 dolly bundles, it covers everything from the very first gift for a newborn to the kind of substantial, play-rich present a three-year-old will come back to again and again. Brands include Lanka Kade, Tender Leaf Toys, Le Toy Van, Beehive Toys, Mentari, Egmont Toys, PlayPress, and The Little Black & White Book Project.

For the Very Youngest — Newborns & Babies Under One

Before babies can sit up, they're already working hard — tracking movement with their eyes, reaching for objects, exploring textures with their mouths and hands. The right toys for this stage are simple, safe, and sensory.

Mentari Bird & Kitten Teethers — £9.00 (in stock) — a pair of beautifully shaped wooden teethers finished with child-safe paint. Sized perfectly for tiny hands, shaped to soothe sore gums, and gentle enough for babies from birth. One of our quietest but most appreciated gifts for newborns.

Little Black & White Book Project Board Books — £7.50 each (all in stock) — high-contrast black and white images are scientifically proven to capture newborns' attention before colour vision fully develops. The Little Black & White Book Project's board books use bold, graphic animal imagery to engage babies from birth. Three titles in the collection:

Awesome Animals of the Amazon

Magnificent Animals of the Ocean

Spectacular Animals of Africa

At £7.50 each these are among the most affordable and genuinely developmental gifts for newborns we stock. Brilliant as a first gift, or as a set of three for a really special baby shower present.

Pull-Along Toys & First Walkers

There's a particular joy to watching a toddler tug a pull-along toy across the floor — the string taut, feet purposeful, enormously proud. These toys build coordination and confidence in equal measure.

Beehive Toys Pull Along Train — £11.95 (in stock) — a classic wooden pull-along train on a string, brightly painted and cheerfully designed. Suitable from around 12 months as babies begin to walk. A timeless gift.

Tender Leaf Toys Sunshine Baby Activity Walker — £110.00 (out of stock) — Tender Leaf's premium baby walker, designed to support babies taking their first steps while providing an activity-rich front panel to explore before they're fully mobile. A significant, lasting gift for a new baby.

Stackers & Shape Sorters — Core Toddler Play

Stacking and sorting are among the most important play activities for children aged 1–3. They develop hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, problem-solving, and the deeply satisfying understanding that actions have consequences.

Beehive Toys Stackers:

Lion Stacker — £9.95 (in stock) — a classic ring stacker with a lion design. Rings in different sizes encourage children to discover the correct stacking order. Suitable from around 12 months.

Elephant Stacker — £6.95 (in stock) — the same satisfying concept with an elephant. At £6.95 this is one of the most affordable gifts in our entire range.

Beehive Toys Traditional Abacus — £22.95 (in stock) — a classic wooden abacus with ten rows of colourful beads. Children slide and count from around age 2, but babies will enjoy the sensory satisfaction of moving beads long before they understand numbers.
