Peekaboo's Top Picks
Updated: Feb 10, 2021
While we are in Lockdown and unable to visit soft plays and baby groups, it is vital that we still try to recreate these environments from home. Whether it be simple creative changes to your childs play area, or purchasing new toys perfect for the space you have, let Peekaboo give you a list of the toys we adore! Here are my top 5 from Peekaboo Play Cafe;
1. Fisher Price Laugh & Learn® Servin' Up Fun Food Truck
This toy is perfect for those long days of interactive role play with your little one. The two perspectives of play that you child can enjoy make it so easy for you or another to get involved with the game.
Selected Retailer: Fisher Price
2. LeapFrog Scoop & Learn Magic Ice Cream Scooper Scoop
Could I get this toy out of my house once I thought my children were done playing with it?... nope! The joy and excitement of getting to choose your favourite treat and topping is the best! I love this toy and every chance I get I bring it home for my children to enjoy while we are closed. I highly recommend this product and i'm yet to meet a child who wont sit and play with this for hours!
This is another of my absolute favourites, simply because it allows all kinds of play perspectives and creates a fantastic interaction between you and your child! They can play independently or with another to create a imaginative scenario full of interaction with objects, numbers, choices and fun!
What can I say about this toy! My son, adores his Dad, and his Dad is a Carpenter. Therefore this toy is THE MOST IMPORTANT TOY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD, because in that moment, my son can be just like Daddy. The accessories are amazing and intricately designed. Perfect for a budding Craftsman... or Woman!
5. Little Tikes Activity Garden
This fantastic, adaptable and imaginative toy by Little Tikes is perfect for the little explorer in your home!
It can be easily adjusted to open or close and change perspective for your little one to play with, with ease.
It's easy store away too, so perfect for small spaces!
When it comes to closing Peekaboo up at the end of the day, my children love to run free amongst the toys and have a good play with as much as they can before I scoop it all up and put it away. It's a mad race against time to play with as much as possible, and for me the funniest thing I always get to witness is my children bouncing on this thing like there's no tomorrow! "Faster Faster, Go Go Go!" is usually screamed at the top of their lungs while one of them furiously bounces and spins at the same time while screaming with delight, while the other watches on in amazement. It baffles me how every time, this is always one of the last toys put away. They just can't get enough it! It's great fun for any child from age 1 up and sturdy enough to even handle the manic bouncing of my 4 year old.
It's currently unavailable to purchase direct from Fisher Price, however many preloved can be found for sale on Facebook Marketplace, ebay, Amazon or other selling sites.
A highly recommended toy for your little adrenaline junkie!
