Really cheap, good toys!

A bit of a coup, this one - Barnardo's seems to be a really good place for toys!

Sure, they're second hand, but they are designed to withstand a good baby bashing.

We picked up a V Tech Playtime Bus which retails at £20 for £2.49. It works beautifully, came with batteries and there is barely a mark on it.

Our little boy (10 months) never seems to tire of it. They seemed to have lots of different toys for different ages and stages, and so it might be worth a look in your local store. 

We will definitely be back!
