Should have asked this in the other thread along with books ...
Anyhoo does anyone know of any online toy sites/good quality wooden toy specialists or TM sellers that sell reasonably priced wooden peg puzzles? Or at least puzzles suitable for 18M-2 years upwards Want to try and update the puzzle/book side of things, baby toys just aren't cutting it for the boy anymore & he doesn't sit still long enough for the flashcards ------------- Single Mum to a darling wee boy of 3 years :) |

Last year I got a great set of wooden puzzles. Got 4 beauties, brand new from Trade Me for $20!! But that was a special.  Just do a search on TM and see what comes up. They are great to have  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I bought some awesome ones at the $2 shop. one with farm animals, dino, clock, body parts. The first two has the same pics on the puzzle so easy for kids to match them up the next two dont. I also bought one or two from Pak n Save but they were $6 each. I know KMart and The Warehouse has them too. DD loves her puzzles.
I also bought one of ABC from one of those companies that bring books and stuff to offices...$5. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

have you thought about joining a toy library? Our one has a great supply of toys for all ages, wooden puzzles, outdoor toys and ride on's etc. It has been great for keeping Ella entertained and only costs us $80 a year (have to help out one morning every term). ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

Our local Plunket has a puzzle library which you can join for just $10pa. Much cheaper than toy libraries and worth checking out the Plunket in your area. -------------  |
