‘This is my toddler’s favorite toy (3)’

If I’m not careful, I am tripping over my child’s toys lying around – that’s how full our house is with blocks, DUPLO, stacking towers, dinos and (steerable) cars. Still, Mack has his preferences. So to save you an overcrowded house (and lots and lots of money), I’m only too happy to share his favorites.

Step

The tip if you don’t want your child to linger during a walk to the supermarket: buy a scooter. Your toddler goes like a spear and you can walk at a brisk pace. Watch out that it doesn’t suddenly hit the Achilles tendon of a passer-by, because that won’t make anyone happy.

Miffy book

Mack got this book from his uncle for Christmas and he was just too young for it then, but since a month or two he can entertain himself for hours with it. With the tiptoi® marker, Miffy’s adventures come to life: you can look for Miffy, get more information about the animals, the beach, the playground and Miffy’s family and you can dance along to fun songs. Especially the latter is Mack’s favorite.

steerable car

Give Mack a toy car and he’ll be happy for hours – especially if he can drive it himself with a remote control. This one from Paw Patrol is suitable for children from 3 years old, so it is very easy to get moving by means of two buttons. Good to know: three AAA batteries for the car and two AAA batteries for the remote control are not included.

race track

Okay, in fact Mack is still too young for this (on the box it says from 6 years), but with a little help you have everything together and your child only has to push the car through the rotating starting point. Mack flutters with enthusiasm as the car speeds across the track and he can watch it all day long. And it lasts a long time, because in a few years he will undoubtedly still like the racetrack.

dinosaur

A child’s hand is quickly filled and it shows, because Mack was thrilled when he got this set. By the way, don’t be surprised if you suddenly find a dino in your laundry basket or dishwasher, because you don’t pay attention and all the animals are scattered throughout your house.
