Toddlers and the world (and planets.)

I have not read what the others have said and only read your first request entry. See what is provided in the shops and think hard how you can make it yourself.. print it on the computer, paint onto cloth, use junk to make it. When you involve your son he will learn how to be creative too. Also if you use junk and he gets board of it you can then just adapt it or just recycle the parts!!!!!

I am doing this with my son's developing interest in music. Using items around the house that can be used to make music.

found this just now whilst browsing for a pressy for a friend and thought of you gingham


not the cheapest, but thought i'd share it with you anyway.

if you do decide to go for it, dont forget to "register" with the site to get a free £5 voucher to make a bit cheaper. delivery is free on all orders over £25 so thats one less cost to worry about, and if you go through ipoints you'll even get something back :beer:

hope this helps!

they're really nice. that site also has a magnetic floating globe, looks fab but at £70 a bit out of my price range lol! i've never seen magnetic paint before, i've been looking for a magnetic board for my boy's room, like a pin board but so he can use fridge magnets instead of pins, and found magnetic paint on the site, how cool is that!!

my friend's boy has these stickers in his room http://www.pricerighthome.com/merchantmanager/product_info.php?products_id=692
buzz lightyear, but there are stars and planets, not 'proper' ones though lol!

He was really taken with the rocket. But he asked 'where's Jupiter?' He has dismissed his favourite 'space' umbrella because it's not the 'real' planets on it. (Okay the umbrella MAY have been mine, but it's so dinky and cute and it lights up in the dark...)

oh dear, he's smarter than the average bear your umbrella sounds cool :T

It IS very cool! (Although I suppose it depends on your definition of 'cool'. I doubt we'll ever see a 'celebrity' sporting one! :rotfl:

And the lad does seem quite bright, but I'm not sending him off to Mensa quite yet! Yesterday he pee'd a big puddle on the floor then lay down in it to splash. :rotfl: And a couple of weeks ago he named both his feet.

It's when he does the can can with his underpants on his head when he's supposed to be getting ready for school that you should start to worry.

It's a daily occurance here :rotfl:

I've looked all over for a map of the world with animals etc on and couldn't find one.

I used to sell usborne book and I came across a world book in my pack. It is exactly what I wanted for my little boy.

This is the one
