Gifts for three-to-five-year-olds
Once your child turns three there’s a whole world of toys awaiting. However, for a varied selection of delights you won’t find in any old store, read on…
Child’s jewellery set, £14
This lovely ring and bracelet set is a little more special than the usual colourful beads you see, and the ring is fully adjustable. Available at Couverture.

Rebecca Dress, £82
Go retro and Christmassy in real style with their fab knitted skating-style dress with plenty of twirl-appeal. Available in baby sizes (£79) and for older girls too (£85), made from merino and lambswool, on rosebrown/charcoal or in taupe/red.

Three Wishes Castle, £65
Why should playing with knights and dragons be just for the boys? Act out fairytales or daring adventures with this decidedly girly pink wooden castle.

Toy Ambulance Set, £30
A beautiful take on the usual metal and plastic vehicles children get as gifts, this wooden ambulance set has lovely details including rear doors that open and a folding trolley.

Personalised Table Top Theatre, £45
Most puppet theatres are larger and therefore need input from adults or older children, but we love this tabletop theatre that allows even quite small children to put on a Boxing Day show…

Geronimo Tent, £75
A colourful, classy take on the playhouse, this Habitat tent in ‘scribble’ fabric is wonderful for use indoors or out.
