Internet browsing for the Bithday Girl

To save me wasting hours wandering around the town centre with no ideas and then arriving home - still with no ideas, I decided to have a look for potential birthday gifts for my baby girl online. That way i'd be able to save my shortlist and Daddy can go over it when he gets in from work (sounds technical doesn't it).

Anyhoo, here it is MY list of some of the best toys for 2 year olds from Early Learning Centre.*
