The Senser Play Kit | 5- to 6-Month-Old Baby Toys | Lovevery
WHAT DID WE THINK?
We are so impressed with the amazing quality of these kits, we took a look at the 5-6 month Sensor Kit which contained:
Play Guide Months 5-6
Ideas for how to play during months 5‑6, backed by all the research you don’t have time to read
Tummy Time Wobbler
Make tummy time more fun while building core muscle strength for crawling and walking
Play Socks
You found your feet! Build leg strength and body control with these playful socks
Parts of Me' Board Book
Help your baby expand their vocabulary by learning the names of different parts of the body
Organic Cotton Rainbow Ball
Purposefully designed to be easy to grasp and move, to help build dexterity and coordination
Magic Tissues
Linkable tissues for the tissue box—also fun for peekaboo and mouthing
Magic Tissue Box
Babies love to pull tissues out and put them back in as they explore containment
Spinning Rainbow
Perfect for practicing fine motor skills and reaching with both hands at once
These play boxes are fantastic and the toys inside are mainly made from wood and high quality materials meaning they are more environmentally friendly and certainly high quality. Each toy has been really well thought out and researching to suit the childs ages. It's lovely to see toys we wouldn't necessarily think about buying... such as the tissue box, however the kids absoutely love it. We really like the addition of the play guide for parents providing the thought process behind each toy included and suggested ideas for play. These boxes make such lovely gift ideas, however at £80 per box they are not cheap and therefore we would say these are a more elaborate gift idea not for everyones budget.

These little bikes are so incredibly cute and amazingly well built, this will easily last your little one until they ready for a big bike and then easily go on to be resold or handed down time and time again. We have come across many balance bikes over the years but few with as much attention to detail and quality as these. We love the funky little design and such a great bright range of colours too and as a bonus there is so little assembly needed on these they are great for CHristmas and your little one will be zooming around in no time. The in buily=t carry handle is such a great inclusion, we have all been there trying to carry a little bike whilst keeping hold of a toddler too so this makes it super easy to carry and also help steady your child while they start to learn too.

Mechanics is the construction platform that combines the forces of magnetism with a world of mechanical construction, to stimulate creativity, inventiveness and ingenuity. In addition to the classic magnetic rods and steel spheres, Geomag Mechanics adds mechanical elements within the constructions, expanding the play possibilities: some parts of the structures are able to rotate, triggering chain reactions from the magnetic attraction and repulsion. In 2018 the innovative Mechanics Gravity platform was launched, consisting of a series of incredible solutions that harness the forces of gravity and magnetism and set the Mechanics models in motion.
Playing with Geomag means knowing and mastering the invisible forces of nature. With the help of Geomag magnets, you will learn to use gravity to turn your own magical motor, running the spheres up and down the track, all built by you. Collect the Mechanics Gravity line and the laws of physics will have no more secrets for you!
Geomag have been around for years and Shropshire Mums have reviewed many sets over the years, always great quality and with a massive 185 pieces it's certainly sure to keep the kids busy for hours building and experimenting. Perfect for those with an inquistive mind who love hands on playtime and good educational value too, teaching children about construction, magnets, motor skills and more.

A must for construction loving kids.
Geomags are so much fun and the challenge strike provides hours of creative construction challenges. It's always great to see developing skills and educational value put together with great fun products. We are sure this will be a huge hit this year!

Designed your way
Made of soft (yet durable) 100% polyester, personalised photo cushions make comfy accessories for beds, loveseats and more. Plus, you have plenty of design options: Print on a single side, match the front to the back or upload something completely different onto each side.

To start creating your personalised cushions, upload the high-resolution image of your choice. Look over your design and add any final touches you might like — then we’ll take care of the rest. Your photo cushion will be printed on high-quality fabric and will arrive ready to wow.
WHAT DID WE THINK?
These are such a beautiful idea and great keepsakes to give as gifts for any age. We were super impressed with the quality, we expected the print to be at least a little grainy, however the image as you can see is incredibly crisp and clear and the material itself is super soft and silky.
A really fantastic quality gift at a really affordably price too.

These blankets come in two sizes starting at 127cm x 152cm so really are a fantastic size, again we expected a slightly grainy image but were really impressed to see the quality of these. They look fantastic and are super snuggly and soft to cosy up with. Personally ours will be gifted to use as a bed throw but they are also amazing for sofa snuggle blankets. Although we went for a custom emote design, as with the cushions you can have anything you like printed on the blanket and the software on the Vista Print website is super easy to use making these perfectly accessible and easy to order even for the techno phobes out there
