This week I've been uploading my annual Christmas Gift Guides, the Men's gift guide on Tuesday and my Ladies gift guide on Wednesday. Today it's all about the kids, and I think I had more fun sourcing ideas for this one than all the rest of the gift guides put together. Being a Mummy blogger I can't help but be a little bit of a geek when it comes to children's toys, and to feel just as excited as them when a new toy arrives to review! My Christmas gift guides for children has filled to the brim of fantastic choices for your little ones this Christmas.
Learning Resources Alphabet Acorns Activity Set - £29.15
My favourite type of toys has got to be learning toys, ones that are so fun that your child doesn't even know it! This is just one of those, a fun and challenging matching game gives children multiple ways to learn and play. With the Alphabet Acorns Activity set, children can match uppercase and lowercase letters as they put the acorns together, plus play hide-and-seek by finding a surprise inside each acorn. The object they find begins with the letter sound on the acorn. Colours correspond to letters, and little learners can even practice making words, learning their ABCs, beginning sounds, and more!

Wooden toys help stimulate imagination and creativity, as well as encouraging role play. Suitable for children from three years.
