66 Sleeps To Go

Today we focus on two of our best selling baby toys. We have been stocking both of these for many years, and they are just as popular now as they ever were, proving that often, the traditional toys are still the best!

Skwish is a fun toy made up of wooden balls and tubes attached by pieces of elastic, to make a ball shaped toy. The coloured balls are great for teething, and the elastic is perfect for even the littlest of hands to grasp. If baby rolls onto the toy, it will 'skwish' flat, then bounce straight back into shape ready for more playtime fun.
£11.50, in a choice of two colours. Available from our website.

Winkel is another popular baby toy, and a fantastic teether. Made up of lots of plastic, rubbery rings, it is easy to grasp and chew. Better still, pop in the fridge to cool and soothe those fragile gums. Central rattle for added interest and visual stimulation.
£8.99, in a choice of two colours. Available from our website.

Both of these would make perfect Christmas Stocking Fillers for baby. Rather than buying lots of small presents for baby, we would recommend three or four larger items, to make a much more useful stocking selection! We will bringing you plenty more stocking filler ideas over the next few weeks, as our Christmas Countdown continues.

67 Sleeps To Go

If you are looking for a big present to go under the tree, that will be used throughout the year, you can't go far wrong with an easel.The Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel is one of the best.

This double-sided, wooden easel features both chalk and dry erase-boards. With adjustable heights it also includes a locking paper roll holder, a child-safe paper cutter, four clips, and a plastic tray on each side for easy-reach art supplies (not included) and easy-clean storage. With easy assembly, there's little waiting for the next masterpiece!

We particularly love the fact that you can adjust the height of this easel, so even the smallest of children can reach to create their first works of art. At full height, a 7 or 8 year old would still be able to comfortably use this easel. £55.99, available from our website.

To accompany the easel, we have plenty of art and craft materials to suit all budgets. First up is the Easel Accessory Set. This fantastic set offers great value for money including paints, paint pots, paint brushes, paper, chalks, dry erase marker and eraser. The colours match perfectly with the Melissa and Doug easel, and the set includes everything you need to get started on those works of art straight away. At just £25.99, we think this is a bargain!

If you are looking for smaller stocking filler gifts to accompany the easel, we have Chalks, Scissors, Paper rolls and many other accessories available on our website. Prices start from £2.25.

Happy Shopping!

CD's for baby, that parents love too!

One thing that we get asked for time and time again, is music for babies. However, if you have tried to buy your new addition some suitable music, you will have realised that the music industry seems to have misunderstood the concept of baby music and have substituted it for THE MOST IRRITATING collection of sounds you could ever imagine, let alone want to listen to after no sleep for 3 weeks, whilst trying to drive to Waitrose!

However, we recently stumbled across a new collection, from Babies Go, that we play in the shop, so take it from us you can even listen to it all day without going totally insane, and parents buy it, having been able to listen to it before purchasing! Hurrah!

The music is very relaxing, all instrumental, but, and this is the ‘not annoying’ key factor, they are all tunes from your favourite bands and artists. Your baby will love the music as it has been adapted to stimulate your babies needs, and you will find yourself humming along. Titles include The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, U2, Coldplay, Abba, Take That, Michael Jackson and Oasis, so whether you’re in a disco diva mood, or a rocking and rolling, you can enjoy these cd’s with your baby. With more titles planned for the coming year, we can’t wait to see what’s coming out next!Available at http://www.thenurseryshop.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=249_274
