Thomas' Big Race: Sound Book (Thomas the Tank Engine)

by: W. Awdry

June 01, 2000
This book soon became a favourite with our 20 month old son who is very into books and currently especially Thomas books. He would ask for 'Bertie' since this is about how Bertie the bus challenges Thomas to a race.

Although he enjoyed the sound button, and this did not last many days of rough toddler attention, there is plenty of opportunity in the text for making your own noises.

Tomy Thomas & Friends Bath Island

from: Tomy

January 01, 2004
My boys love this toy. They have had loads of fun over the last couple of years getting Thomas to slide down the ramp and pouring water over the water wheel. It's their favourite bath toy.
We haven't had problems with it sticking, but it can slide as it's quite heavy. If the water isn't too deep it's fine.

I bought this for my 2 year old girl as a Christmas present, to help with a long 11 hour flight. She really enjoyed this more than I thought she would.

Tomy Thomas & Friends Aqua Draw

This toy is not good value for money! The train is supposed to follow the pen's track but unless the track is really thick it will not know wehre to go, my boys found it frustrating. The Pens came apart almost immediately nad the train "lost" its sense of direction pretty quickly. A Christmas present that by the end of January was relegated to the bottom of the toybox.

In the Night Garden (Little Library): Little Library (In the Night Garden)

by: BBC

September 21, 2007
I bought these for my two year old who is a recent In The Night Garden fan. They are fantastic. Admittedly the box arrived a bit worse for wear (I am in Australia) but it still holds the books when it needs to. My daughter carries the books everywhere. Stops, sits down to read them, waves them around in one hand, lines them up to count to 6 or turns them over to complete the puzzle on the back. For a few dollars she has had hours of fun already. Highly recommend!

This was bought for my son's 3rd birthday and it is absolutely perfect! It is very sturdy and he has no problems riding it. The sound effect buttons are also really great. Definately a great buy for active little boys who love Thomas!!

Thomas & Friends: Classic Collection - Series 1

starring: Thomas The Tank Engine, Ringo Starr

January 31, 2005
I was a big fan of the original Thomas the Tank Engine books as a child. I bought the books for my 3yo daughter, and she loved them, so I took a chance with the dvd (having never seen it on tv). I need not have worried.

It's a lovely telling of the stories. True to the originals in tone and text it both stands on its own and also really complements the books.

Aliens Love Underpants!

by: Claire Freedman

May 08, 2007
My little boy got given this book for CHristmas last year and loves it so much that I could probably quote it all the way through, I've read it so often. Okay, there's not a strong story but what do you expect for a cartoon book for pre-schoolers? The rhymes are cute and the pictures are great - we love it, and so do all the kids at nursery!

Crayola Beginnings 24 Jumbo Crayons

from: Crayola

May 08, 2007
Don't bother buying this item! I just did, and, instead of 24 crayons in a nice round container as pictured, I received (very late) three cardboard packets of crayons. Not a nice present for a two-year-old.

VTech First Steps Baby Walker

from: VTech

May 08, 2007
I bought this for my (then) 12-month old niece, thinking that she would be too young to use it. Not at all! She was absolutely hooked, could not get enough and was walking before many of the kids older than her. My sister-in-law told me that lots of her little friends at Nursery were suddenly bought the same V-Tech Walker when they saw my niece walking!

My niece is now nearly 3 and yet she still loves her walker - she uses it to pretend that it's a pram and she dances around to the music. It's really quite a clever little thing, because it teaches numbers, letters and it has all these tunes. She learnt very quikcly how to get the sounds that she wanted to hear. She now has two little brothers and they're already enjoying the music, which ... Read More:
