If your kids are still coming to grips with telling the time, they will love this clever ‘Bubble Boy’ clock. Structured in a way that makes sense to children, it also comes with cards to show when it’s time to have lunch, snacks, dinner, bath, bedtime – and when it’s acceptable to bound out of bed. NOT 5am!
It’s A Clock! ‘Bubble Boy’ clock available from Mini Men – RRP$89.95
Memory games are fun – but not so much fun when the cards get strewn through the house and pairs are inevitably separated forever! Sevi has cleverly solved this dilemma, with a wooden board and interchangeable sheets of picture pairs, that can be switched and rotated to randomise the game. What a cool idea!
Available at Quirky Kids – RRP$84.95

Planes, trains and automobiles! If your toddler can’t pass a station without yelling “toot toot!” then this app is for you.
