Make-believe
Make-believe is how children transport themselves into the imaginary and the real adult world. Choose a topic that you know your child likes and look for toys that can be played with in a variety of ways. Some of our selection bridge the years from toddler to school age, making them better value
Learn and Laugh Home
Fisher Price £60.00
A bumper gift with hundreds of different activities. This house is fun for make-believe, with an inside and outside on either side. Learning activities include a counting game dropping balls down the drainpipe, sorting shapes and colours, spinning the house number and changing the hands on the clock. There are 21 songs to sing along to and a radio that plays phrases.

Tractor Tom Mobile Phone
Vivid £5.99
Do you spend too much time talking on your mobile phone? We found that two and three year olds were very quick to role -lay with Tractor Tom's mobile phone, especially boys who could become quite demanding - like daddy? The phone is cordless, of course and has a realistic arial, earphone and buttons to press. It is just the present to encourage children to talk. The phone plays 15 sounds and phrases from the Tractor Tom TV series but you can silence it by taking out the batteries.

Balamory Nursery
Flair £15.00
Toys from the BBC's popular TV series Balamory are tipped to be a top seller this Christmas. This wooden playset includes Miss Hoolie, two children and the nursery that Miss Hoolie runs. Some adult help is required to build the nursery, but once all the stickers are on the wall and Miss Hoolie's magical cupboard is set up, there is lots of space for children to play with the props and make up their own stories.

Sylvanian Caravan and Pony
Flair £39.99
Children will love to make up stories with this caravan and pony set. The caravan has real working lanterns inside and out, an adjustable ladder, foldaway bunk beds with bedding, a storage space beneath a trap door, foldaway toilet and a kitchen complete with accessories. Our testers made up games with the caravan as a home and travelling abroad on long journeys. There are over 50 pieces with this set but no Sylvanian characters.

Reversible Princess Dress
Marks & Spencer
£25.00
Marks and Spencer's range of dressing up clothes is very popular with pre-school children. Most outfits come in two sizes (2-4 year olds and 4-6 year olds). Our favourite is this Reversible Princess dress which has lots of authentic detail. Our testers loved the Cinderella motif on the front of the dress, the mesh underskirt, high collar and all the ribbon and embroidery trimmings. Machine washable.
Under the Sea Play Canopy
Myriad Online
£77.50
Following the success of its Rose Fairy Bower play canopy for girls, Myriad has introduced this aquamarine, Under the Sea Play Canopy for boys. As with the girl's canopy, it fits over a single bed or hangs from the ceiling to create a very special corner to play in. There is enough room for two or three friends to play together under the canopy. The fabric is pure silk gauze and is suitable for indoor use only.
