Have you seen the green toys stuff? Mine have got the tug boats which are very simple but very robust and good for pouring. They also do some other ones that look good like a ferry boat and a sea plane. http://www.greentoys.com/toys.html you can get them from the Eco shop on lordship lane or amazon too I think

The wow toys are good and also Octonauts ones if they like them (very robust, we used in all manner of settings incl the beach). Playmobile went down a storm for us also (not the really small bits obvs ;-))

A couple of plastic kitchen jugs were v popular for a long time, and actually thinking about it now a set of nesting measuring cups would have been good also I think.

Same here - also empty shampoo bottles to fill and squirt water out of. No issues with mould, as there's always plenty more.

We have a waterwheel, which is very popular. Similar to http://www.elc.co.uk/Sand-and-Water-Wheel/122811,default,pd.html that seems a bargain but there are also lots of other varieties on ebay. We also have a couple of cups and a watering can for an endless supply of drinks made in the cafe!!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
