Competition – Tolo Puzzle Ball (6 months+)
The Tolo Puzzle Ball is a ball which comes apart into 3 separate sections: 2 identical U-shaped segments and a central rattle. Each of the U-shaped segments has a hole in the end which the central rattle section slots into, and these two outer parts have attractive gizmos on them; squeakers and clickers in bright primary colours.
Tolo Toys are specifically designed to stimulate development of your baby. Because the toys are designed intelligently, using colour, sound and feel as key stimulant aides, your child will quickly discover that learning is fun! Areas of development: colours and shapes, hand to eye co-ordination, gripping and release, touch and feel.
The Boy had great fun testing and playing with this item, and I would say that the age range is suitable from 6-18 months, possibly older. It’s a really attractive ball, which rolls well and is incredibly sturdy. Each section can be played with individually or in a variety of combinations. He particularly liked having the rattle sticking out of the top of one of the holes and got really quite stroppy with me if I tried to put it how it’s designed to be, just goes to show the play possibilities.
In order to win this Puzzle Ball, please tell me what your child’s favourite toy is in the comments box below.

My son’s favourite toy are stacky cups. It is obsessional. He loves them in the bath. He tries to get the cat to play too. He puts things in them, especially trying to find balls to fit, its embarrassing!
I already follow you on twitter, will follow your blog if I’m not already, and am about to tweet!

The Boy loves his stacking cups too, he’s got some from Morrison’s which are fab because the top lips wedge together and they can make a rolly thing.

My Son’s favourite toy is his wiggly worm, you pull his head & tail (the worms) and he shakes which if you place on baby makes him laugh, which is the cutest sound ever!

Maxs favourite toy is his fathers ninja stick. It’s a relic from his Bruce Lee obsession as a youth (husbands), think of a kinda wooden truncheon with a handle about a foot long,anyhoo we kept it under the bed to attack burglars with, until Max found it. Now he likes to push it around the house making ‘brrrrrrrrmmm’ noises. Makes us chuckle.
(Potential burglars reading this – we have have other weapons to use on you whilst this one is being borrowed)

My 14 month old loves 2 stones. Yes, really, stones. One he chose from his first walk at Aberdeen beach and one was from my parent’s drive.
Proper toy wise it’s probably a ride on zebra that bounces, turns and plays tunes. The grins when he’s on it melt my heart.
(will follow you on twitter and tweet requested message!)

Nice give away 🙂
Uhm hard to say what Burton’s favourite toy is as it changes! I guess ones he has had for longest which still get played with our his coloured alphabet wooden blocks and his stacking cups. Since Xmas we play with his picture puzzles almost all day every day too! Oh and his bath toys popular too.
I have RT but will do again and I already follow you 🙂

Lukes favourite toy, if you can call it that is a dog food lid!!No dont call social services, i dont mean the siver sharp one!
It is a black and white coloured plastic lid. i sent Mark out to get something black after Luke became obsessed with the remote control. After an hourr of trawling Morrissons, this is what he returned with…and now we cant go anywhere without it!
All the lovely things he got for christmas, not interested at all.
Strange child…must take after his fathers side of the family.!!
