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!

    • If it’s not their responsibility then it’s not their responsibility. If it’s that of one of the properties on that parade, that property own must take action.
    • Disappointed with all this negativity. I do occasional favours for mates or neighbours,  I sometimes charge a modest amount.  I know my capabilities, and those accepting my help understand too.  They may at times repay the favour.  To date I have not stolen anything, set anything alight or molested anyone.  Everything I do is within the relevant regulations eg I would move a plug socket hut not rewire the house. It's what people have done no doubt for 1000s of years. I do not compete with builders.  My usual response eg following requests on the street Whatsapp is to advise that much of jobs should be a simple DIY. I'm surprised how many house holders have so little experience, more so as the millennials move in. The Lets scheme is highly regulated. Meanwhile some of us may let a casual worker into our home, perhaps cash in hand, without checking their credentials.  There is still a considerable black market out there.  What I do is so little time, I'm not depriving professionals of serious business.  A contact who asked me to repaint her buy to let was told a clear no.  
    • Ongoing water leak from forecourt of former Tile Giant & crossing pavement to road (opposite former Grove Tavern) reported to Thames Water yesterday evening - they said not their responsibility, but said it was owner's responsibility. Warned TW that likely ice overnight, but wouldn't budge.
