The most organised homes can still turn to complete chaos when kids toys are thrown into the mix. Most of my friends have kids and now my own brother has just become a Dad. So what toys do I buy for kids, or have they got too much already? A child can lose interest in a toy within just 36 days, according to a recent study.
This week, I'm stood in the beautiful Timeless Toys shop talking to owner Susan Luxford. Susan helped introduce me to choosing toys based on a kids playing style, what to do with old toys and how plastic intensive the toy industry is. It was an eye opener, but also incredibly helpful. She has some great tips and I loved her idea on how to approach kids party bags to take the pressure of the parents.
Susan clearly cares a lot about how children play, the psychology behind it and making sure she leaves a plastic free legacy. This is well worth a listen if you have children in your life. You can visit the shop on Portland road, Hove or online https://www.timeless-toys.co.uk/
