Carved from a single piece of lime wood and using non-toxic staining, these six rainbow blocks can be used in a myriad of ways – as tunnels and bridges for cars, cots for baby dolls, animal shelters or farm fences. They can also be balanced on top of one another to build amazing sculptures.

Personalised Pull Along Train – £40

Little ones will have hours of fun with this wonderfully colourful pull along train. Finished off with a bright red pull string, your children can amuse themselves at any opportunity by chugging this choo-choo along behind them. And there’s a little building block surprise in the carriage in a variety of shapes and colours just waiting to be stacked.

Personalised Wooden Stroller – £65

This is a wonderful wooden stroller and a perfect gift to get them walking about with confidence. Made from solid, lightweight wood with smooth wheels and a chalkboard on the front that can be decorated by a budding artist, this is a fantastic present that serves a useful purpose as well as bringing hours of amusement. They can toddle around collecting all of their toys en route, and will love it even more if you personalise it for free.
