Innes got his own hoover for his second birthday a couple of weeks ago -so he now hoovers with mummy or daddy (ahem... actually that should just read daddy) : ) I’ve just remembered - I didn’t mention the hoover/vacuum fixation.

I've just posted about the top 5 bouncy castles ( http://www.decidewhattobuy.com/blog/2008/03/top-five-bouncy.html ) which would also be great gifts for both boys and girls. Along the same theme, i've just thought of space hoppers! How good were they?! If they're still around, i'd definitely add them to the list too! Although when I was little it was Thomas the Tank Engine all the way so Innes' Mum, i'm with you on that. Hi Erica, great selection!

Erin enjoys the phonics game and generally tapping away on it, as I said I think the summer will see her use it more.

Beanie has the piano and stool set too - it's been a great success. How dare someone criticise you for Iggle Piggle! He is a much-loved fixture in our household too. We wouldn't be without him. You're quite right about play being fun. There's already enough pressure on children to 'perform' to certain standards. If a two-year-old can't lark about with toys, then the world's a sorry place. Hmmm, play dough. Now, I know a little girl who might enjoy that too. Great posting, thank you. Nice ideas, Erica.

We have the Vtech laptop you mentioned but I found it too advanced for a 2 year old. The spelling and maths seemed more appropriate for a 3 year old. That's only in my experience though.
