Toys
My 4 year old loves sitting at the kitchen bench playing with this set. The terradactyl in particular gets played with everyday.
Great imaginative play and used in many different ways
LEGO Jurassic World Baby Dinosaur Rescue Centre 76963
This is a great toy for some one on one time. My four year old loves picking something out of the book and then playing with it once it’s built. He does find it a bit tricky to click them together still but loves finding the bits as mum builds it
CONNETIX Rainbow Ball Run Pack, 92 Pieces
This is an awesome starter pack. The brio sets are often on sale for good prices. I also find these a good Santa stocking present as each year you can add to the collection
BRIO World - travel switching set
This is a good extra add on to expand the train set
BRIO World 33402 Intermediate Rail Pack
My son loves playing with this mat and jumps. Bonus for mum it doubles as a box to keep all the monster trucks in
Monster Jam Ultimate Arena Playmat + 2 Trucks
This includes 3 puzzles with different amounts of pieces in each. Found these really good as they appealed to his dinosaur interest and as there are different dinosaurs in each puzzle you could focus on finding the pieces for each dinosaur
Level Up! Puzzles with Storage Bag - Level 4: Dinosaur's World 48P-72P
Endless amounts of play in so many ways. Ramps for monster trucks, houses for animals, bridges for train track, who can build the tallest tower. Probably my number one toy I would recommend
CONNETIX Rainbow Creative Pack, 102 Pieces
Another great toy you can build a collection of.
Our duplo gets played with regularly, even with him starting to get into the smaller Lego. Our 1 year old also gets into this so great mixed activity and we use in many different ways.
Digger is a gre...
Lego construction
Good staple to have with any duplo
LEGO DUPLO Green Building Plate 10460
I don’t want to recommend this because it’s so large but can’t deny it always gets a good play. Another one our 1 year old also likes playing with.
Whenever we have friends over this always gets a good run with the other kids
Hot Wheels City Ultimate Garage Playset
Great for pretend play and Kobe I’m happy to get involved with. Have had since 2 years old and still play with
Melissa & Doug Wooden Scoop & Serve Ice Cream Counter, 28 Pieces
Great for the monster truck obsessed kids. This is a good size (not too big) and the controller is relatively straight he forward
Monster Jam Grave Digger RC Truck 1:64 Scale
Other great option for a starter pack or add. My son loves using the little crane
BRIO World 33719 Country Side Farm Set
We got this along with our first set, having a battery operated train was a game changer in the amount of time he spent using the train set.
Often on sale too
BRIO World Battery Powered Steaming Train Engine
A couch, a cubby, an obstacle course, a train, a ramp for the monster trucks what will it be today.
Our 4 year old loves his play couch and is another great one that our one year old played with earlier on too
Movie 13 piece
My son loves playing with the T rex in particular, he pulls the pieces apart and puts them in different spots.
He also enjoys that he can make the boat pop out
LEGO Jurassic World T. rex River Escape 76975
Books
A book about dinosaurs and digging - need a say more.
Includes counting and repetition
Dinosaur Dig!
We read this often. My son loves naming all the fruit, vegetables and animals in this one and spotting the pigs
Dinosaur Farm!
We love reading this book, it has great repetition so our son knows most of the words now and often reads it to us
The Gruffalo
All the books in this series are great, this one makes my son giggle and he also knows the words himself too
The Very Cranky Bear
Outdoor toys
This is the GOAT. My four year old has had this since about 1 and loves it! He pushes it in the backyard and whenever we go camping or to the beach this is the only toy he will play with
Tonka Steel Classics 20" Mighty Dump Truck
Some how this provides endless entertainment. Another good one for camping, our kids come up with different games to play with it
Stomp Rocket Ultra Rocket 4 Pack
My son has had this since he was two and loves riding it. He has started using a pedal bike now but this still comes out often. Good price point as well
Balance Bike Aluminium – Orange
This helmet is a little on the pricier side for a kids helmet but it is really great quality
MET Hooray Kids Helmet Black Flames
Misc.
My son loves putting this on every night while we read books, it has definitely helped with the nighttime transition
Astronaut Star Projector Night Light with Timer
Our son loves using this in the kitchen to help with cooking.
Kids Safe Knife Set - 13 Pieces Montessori Kitchen Tools for Toddlers
We use this multiple times a day and have since our four year old was about one. So great for them to be able to eat at, help with cooking, watch what is going on in the kitchen. Just so good.
