George’s Top Toys For Pretend Play

Whether they’re having playhouse fun pretending to be mum and dad or building a LEGO DUPLO fort, anything that encourages your child’s imagination is a win. While their toy box is probably already full of educational games, arts and crafts and puzzles, they can never have too many toys for pretend play.

Key for their development and great fun for all ages, we’ve highlighted our favourite toys to help them get creative. Full of fantastic picks that can be enjoyed both inside the house and outdoors, now’s the time to let them get playing.
