Kid-friendly fidget toys for improved focus

Tactile toys, or ‘fidget toys’, encourage kids to use their imagination, while improving their focus through sensory play. Fidget toys are a must-have part of any toy box, as they can also have a calming effect (perfect for quiet afternoon playtime!).

A classic option for tactile play is the Nick Jnr Alphabet Fun Dough set, giving kids the chance to practise their fine motor skills by squishing and kneading the dough into different shapes, time and time again.

Bluey toys for bath-time giggles

Some kids may not love bath time, but they’ll happily jump in if Bluey is involved! Our new range of Bluey toys is a hit, including the three-pack of Bluey bath squirters. With Bluey, Bingo and a beach ball on hand, little ones can squirt and play their own Bluey adventures (while they get clean without even noticing).

Bury your nose in a Bluey book

Award-winning children's author Emilie Buchwald once said: ‘Children are made readers on the laps of their parents’. A good place to start is with our range of animal-themed picture books, including the Bluey Fancy Restaurant Cookbook. Bright and colourful, this book inspires young readers to get in the kitchen and experiment with different foods.

Make-believe doctors and nurses

Is there a nurse or doctor in the house? The answer is ‘yes’ when you’ve gifted the child in your life a Peppa Pig Medic Play Centre. This set, which includes a toy stethoscope, thermometer and more, will inspire future medical workers and give others the chance to have some make-believe play that fires up their creativity.

We all scream for ice-cream

Who doesn’t love ice-cream? It’s perfect for eating, of course, but it’s also a great basis for play—when it’s made from dough, that is. The child in your life is going to be dreaming of ice-cream shops and tonight’s dessert with the Nick Jr Supreme Ice-Cream set. Using dough to make sundaes, banana splits and cones, this creative kids’ toy will inspire summer dreams.

A roaring good time for dinosaur enthusiasts

If you were considering buying a kids’ toy car, it’s time to level it up. And what better way to make a toy more fun than with an added dinosaur? Inspired by the Jurassic World movies, the Matchbox Jurassic Transporters each come with a vehicle and a dinosaur, making them perfect for imaginative play and plenty of roars.
