Hi all,

I am not very imaginative when it comes to choosing little childrens toys anymore - does anyone have any idea of a birthday present for a two year old girl, for around approx £50?

Any ideas much appreciated

    My daughter aged 2 loved her buggy and doll the most. More recently my niece who is two likes dressing up (ebay does loads fairy/disney outfits) and she likes her drum kit and keyboard (she has one with a mike that she sings into lol) She also loves her slide, swing and trampoline.

    I would go to the Early Learning Centre and buy something suitable for her age range and ability. Education through play all the way!

    How about some Duplo, e.g.:

    How about half of it on a toy, half on an ELC voucher? Some ideas
    -Happyland Toys, made by ELC, are good and sturdy and you can get all sort of sets (unisex too).
    -Craft stuff (paper, crayons, pens, stickers etc)- put it in a big tub and stuff it full.
    -Dollies with a buggy or something else if she is in to that sort of thing.
    -Dress up clothes.
    -Duplo.
    Hope this gives you some idea. Look on ELC online as they have some great ideas and you can search under age/gender/type of toy etc.
