Best toys to allow toddler to play by themselves
Hi everyone,
I'm just after some advice.
Ruby never really plays by herself, and on the occasion that she does she looses interest in minutes.
Do you have any ideas on what sort of toys I should be introducing to encourage her to play without me?
i hope this makes sense!
Thank you,
Amy xx

Loving the sunny weather as she happily amuses herself outside so I can do some gardening!
Please remember that they all develop at different rates
Happyland sounds like a great idea. I've just been on ELC though and there is sooo much to choose from!
I'll have to take her in the shop and see her reaction to them and let her choose
She has duplo but I put it away as she wasn't interested but i'll try that again now!
Lara - Yes we are very well thank you
I'm so busy with my little crafty business that I don't get enough time to come on here much at the mo I'm really enjoying it though and everyone seems to be happy with what i've made them!
How are you and Chloe?x
mega books never worked in our house and I've got sone happyland stuff hidden away for Christmas but not much interest yet .... He's 2yr4mth
Paul also loves to draw, I would give him tiny flip books and a pencil in his chair/buggy or just on the floor as soon as he could hold them and he will sit for ages and ages just drawing and turning the page.
I normally start off the game so we play together then I just leave him to it he plays for ages on his own its great.
Outdoor toys are also great now that the weather should be picking up, we've just got a sand and water table from Homebargains for ??14.99 bargain and loads of accessories with it too.
Sometime though a bucket of bubbles and a sponge and he washes the patio door for ages haha he does a good job too
she loves her baby too. she puts her in the pram and pushes her around. She has a little tikes kitchen (handed down from her siblings) and she goes and 'cooks' dinner for her baby and then feeds her. She likes to sit and read too.
Glad all is well with your business. I am looking forward to sorting my order once I know house is going through. I want all their names and something like a wall art plaque to hang above all their lovely art work..

thanx for posting, I was wondering the same thing....
My Mum has suggested that maybe she is just bored of the toys she has and said to maybe put some away and rotate them every few months.
I've just though actually that our neighbours have a 7 year old and whenever we're round there they both play with her dolls house. Ruby doesn't have one as I thought she'd be too young for it but maybe she needs this sort of thing and she's just outgrown her toys?!
Thank you so much for the Happyland suggestion!!
We went for the farm and it's been a huge success!!! So thank you sooooooo much!! I'll look into getting the storage box that opens up to a play mat soon and hopefully get a little collection going over time! xx
