New goodies!!!

Hey everyone. I was in Mr Price on North Main street earlier and I picked up a few new toys for the kids. They were so cheap and they had loads !!! I could have got more but my sister dragged me out... apparently I have a shopping problem. 😂😂😂
Anyway I picked up new puzzles and magnets for Kirsty and a sensory toy for Logan. I'll talk about that first as it's the first picture.

He is not really into anything at the moment. We still haven't found "that thing " he loves yet. That toy or item that just clicks and really interests him. I say yet because we will keep looking. ( After all, hope springs eternal 🤞 )
He does like to play with a football but he'll only hold it in his arm so I thought this might be good for him. It's a ball but it has a rolling rainstick inside it too. They use these in the schools to teach cause and effect ( you do one thing and another thing happens) and because the rattling sound can be quite pleasing to a sensory seeking child. Kirsty used to love it. It teaches motor skills too as you have to rotate the stick in your hand to let the beads roll down. I think it was about 3 euro but I must have dropped my receipt as I can't find it so don't quote me!! 🙈🙈🙈

The next pictures are various insert puzzles with the alphabet and numbers. Ye all know how much Kirsty loves them. I pick them up wherever I can, especially big ones as she loves them the most. These can be quite dear in the big toy shops or online but these ones were bargains. Between €4 and €7 each I think but again I've no receipt.
Insert puzzles, especially ones like the chunky jumbo numbers one below, are brilliant for anyone starting out as they can be done with "hand over hand prompting".
This is what I will use to start Logan off, if I can keep him still for 5 minutes!! I'll just place my hand over his and drop the piece in. It's quick and you can reward immediately afterwards. This one is lovely and colourful too for grabbing attention.

Finally... new magnets. These were around €2. Colourful and fun, easy to use and great for matching and improving grasp and hand skills when sticking them to the fridge.
And with a bit of luck in time, some spelling too.

I love pound shops like Eurogiant or Mr Price. They're proof you don't have to go to places like Smyths to get your kids some fun stuff. I think I spent about €25 in total on all these.
Happy shopping everyone !! 😂😂😂
