My 2.5y loves imaginary play and mimicking adults so perhaps things like toy kitchen with utensil (ikea ones are on special offer at the moment and are great); tea set; buggy with doll etc (a firm favourite; dressing up clothes/ doctor's kit.


Other favourites include megabloks, scooter, balance bike (our daughter doesn't have one but they look great).


Good luck, I hope you find something that suits!

Check out "play schemas"

I've found this concept useful when thinking about the types of toys my daughter will play with most.


My LO does a lot of "enveloping/enclosure", so the next time I buy toys, I'm going to look for nesting dolls.


Bimbily and NotOnTheHighStreet (both online) both have some interesting toys.


I've not been in Just Williams in a while, but Gently Elephant on Brockley Road (near Brockley Station) has lots of interesting toys.

Thanks so much everyone!

I really appreciate your suggestions.

Saffron the info on play schemes was really interesting. Quite hard to pin point what they are but its a really good way of thinking about the way they play.


I was thinking about a dolls house, and she loves pretend play so I guess we'll be going down that route.


Sbot - love the lawnmower!! very sweet. I asked my daughter what she'd like and she said cake! I guess that's a start!


thank again everyone!

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
