My son is getting a balance bike this year (shh don’t tell him) – it was £10 secondhand and is in the process of being pimped! He’s favourite present last year was probably the big duplo digger that my friend bought him. 🙂
I’m entering! We love the M&D range!
Already loved both the TRU and Edspire facebook pages.
Our top toddler toy would be the Cookie Jar shape sorter! We both adore the Julie Andrews type voice that sings, and it has helped to teach The Boy his colours and shapes.
Oooh have been looking at the Cookie Jar for Esther but wasn’t sure. You have convinced me now x x x
great comp prize.
my best buy is mega bloks classic bag
my kids all love mega bloks or did when younger 🙂
my twitter is sarahclegg2

What an amazing competition!
I like both of you on facebook.
I think play food is always a hit as a present for toddlers :0)
It combines their two favourite hobbies!
I have liked you FB page and the TRU one @Bobbity666
I am not quite at toddler stage yet but I think play kitchens are a great idea for a toddler present and my older children have all had one – well Jamie Oliver had to start somewhere! 🙂
Great competition @Bobbity666
I think William and Esther would LOVE a kitchen!!

My best gift for a toddler would be a massive set of Duplo. So much fun, even my 10 and 11 year olds still play with it when the younger ones are playing!

This teapot & cakes set is a great buy. I brought it for my daughter last Christmas (she had just turned one) and she loved playing with the shapes and listening to the music. She still really loves it now she’s turning 2 and has lots of fun making tea for her toys and force feeding me triangle cakes! ha ha! Older toddlers that have been round to play always head straight for this as well so it’s a few years fun! xxx

Thank you for the wonderful giveaway!
My youngest daughter is getting Fur Real Cookie (a toy puppy that basically acts like a labrador puppy!!!) It is expensive at £114 but it is supposed to recognise her new owner’s voice and respond by moving her head, blinking and barking!!! Cute!!
My little girl has been asking for the new fijit toys, I was a bit reluctant to buy one at first but got one on special offer and I have seen videos of them and they are totally hilarious, can’t wait to see her face when she gets it on Christmas day
My best buy this christmas would have to be lots of Happy People sets by Fisher Price all from my friend for just £15. Im trying so hard to not give them to my daughter till christmas 🙂 to be honest there are so many bargins at christmas i think everyone finds one bargin or two but the younger the child the cheaper the christmas is 🙂 so my main bargin is the fact that my daughter is only 16 months old this year for christmas.
My two little girls love playing with duplo together and have hours of fun
My daughter love the Aqua doodle set I bought her last Xmas. Have liked both pages
I already like both facebook pages x
forgot to say that a good gift for a toddler is any kind of building blocks suck as Megablocks/Lego-Its good for both girls and boys and stays with them for many years
Gosh, I had to enter this, love Melissa and Doug toys! My best buy is in fact a Melissa And Doug piece – the learn to play piano. Though it’s actually for her birthday (on 23 December). I’m so excited!

My top buy this christmas are the Disney Cars themed mega bloks. Mega bloks hae always gone down a storm with our daughter who is now 5 and has moved on to lego, and my son who is 2 and just loves them. They are often on offer and make a loely Christmas present.
Thanks and Fingers crossed! x

My son really wants Skylanders.
I think so far this year our best christmas buy for our little girl was the pretend food from toysrus its is velco together and comes witha little chopping board and pretend knife so she can pretend to chop things up and cook in her kitchen as she is always asking to “help mummy” its all wrapped and sent to santa lol!
Love the prizes my daughter loves colouring and the picnic basket set is so cute i have done all of the above too x

I have bought my youngest the the AquaPlay 544 Multi Set from toys r us, because what toddlers don’t love water and its one they will grow into so get lots of use from! It was a bargain at £40 seeing as its now priced at £79.99, I bought it when it was £50 and then on the 20% off weekend, so everyone needs to keep an eye out for those bargain weekend! 🙂 x
I am @missingsleep on twitter too if you need to contact me, heres hoping 😉 lol x
I like both Edspire and Toys r Us on Facebook.
My best recommendation for toddlers is anything from the Fisher Price Little People range. They are fantastic at encouraging imaginative play, a bright, colourful and perfectly safe and my little one spends hour upon hour playing with all her sets.

I like both of you on facebook. Best present for middle daughter is the The Disney Princess Castle. I have been bombarded for the last 10 weeks, so hopefully she will love it and I can occassionally enjoy the football in peace, without wimpering puppy eyes making me feel guilty
I got a My Pal Scout from tesco for £13, im sure my lo will love it!!!

Has to be Play Dough or something they can use to bring out the artist in them lol. Toddlers get lots of fun playtime with Play dough and for years its been a favourite I think with little ones
I’ve managed to get my one a brand new aeroplane and mini airport, still in box and plastic, never been used for £5 on a local car boot sale, its still in Asda selling for £18.99, so well chuffed with that one! He love planes and goes around making the noise as he “flies” them through the air.
Forgot to say I’ve liked your page, had liked ToysRus ages back. Was so wrapped up in remembering what I’d got Jake I forgot to add that. LOL
Thanks for a great competition.

My daughter is obsessed about my laptop and im always trying to keep it out her reach after she took the keys of my husbands laptops keyboard. However she still always follows me around crying at my feet when im using my laptop , so i had this great idea and brought her, her very own laptop by Leapfrog 🙂 i cant wait to give it to her as it may actually save my laptop.

Oooh it has to be the Cars activity desk exclusive to TRU. I can only imagine how much fin my son will have sitting in a car drawing!!!!
I have liked both the facebook pages.
I think that the Orchard Toys puzzles and games are a great buy for toddlers at christmas – they are really well made and will last for ages. We always played board games together at christmas and I’m looking forward to starting to starting the same tradition with my daughter.
Best buy is a balance bike!
Melissa and Doug kitchen accessories and play food. Can’t wait to give them to my little boy for Christmas!
I like both FB pages.
My top toddler toy for this xmas would be the BRIO Fun on the Farm train set. I bought this for my 2 year for his birthday last month and he loves it. The battery in the train doesn’t last long though!
I’ve like both – I think the Blanace bike is the bestbuy too – great outdoor, healthy fun

I think balance bikes are the best things EVER!
Liked both pages x
My best buys are anything to do with Leapfrog or V-Tech. Children learn so much when they are playing with these products.
I’m a fb fan of both pages. My best buy for toddlers would be some toy trains/cars/taxis and other toys vehicles – they keep my daughter occupied for hours! (Twitter @pondering_kate)
Liking both on Facebook-Maria Jane Knight
I think a fab buy for a toddler would have to be an outdoors toy, like a plastic wheelbarrow,trowel and rake set. Our son is 18 months old and LOVES being outside and you can see him using his imagination already. Being outside makes him a happier boy and im sure that is the case for all toddlers (its fab for tiring them out too)
Weather you have a garden or not, they can be taken to the park or for a walk also.
Peppa Pig Adventure buggy, my granddaughter will love this, its very good value and will occupy her for hours
I bought my son a balance bike from ebay for £35 brand new – it is painted in a Captain America design. I worried about the quality of it until it arrived – it is fab!
Have liked both sites on FB x
My son is getting a big bucket of mega blocks for Christmas, he loves building things!! My house will be a mine field

definitely Mega Blocks – perfect gift
LIKED BOTH FACEBOOK PAGES
You cant beat duplo for durability and play and aprt from that and his cars the only toy my son loves is play -doh especially his monkey set as loves giving him n ew hair and tongue.
The old toys are often the best and still around for that reason 🙂
We have asked Santa for a toy kitchen with lots of Melissa & Doug play food. This proved to be a great toy for my eldest daughter who got hours of pleasure from hers when she was little.
