Little Llama

This Singapore-based online-only shop quickly caught our eye as the exclusive distributor of award-winning Swiss toy designer MOLUK (be sure to check out the innovative “Bilibo“, named 2010 toy of the year!). If you’re not sure what the Bilibo is – let your kids show you! This open-ended toy sets children’s imagination free – they can spin on it, sit on it, stack it, rock on it, use it for pretend play – there is really no limit to what this toy can represent.

The Little Llama toy shop is all about encouraging child-directed, open-ended play, and to that end, they’ve curated the best expert-recommended books and toys to support early learning and discovery.

Masters at selecting the highest quality, most unique, and beautiful toys around, they strive to educate and inspire young minds with their covetable range of (primarily wooden) knick-knacks. We’re particularly besotted with their gorgeous dollhouses, intricate train sets, and handmade puppets.

Then Natures Collection is your next port of call, with their massive selection of cute and cuddly soft toys set to turn your home into a veritable menagerie. These guys also sell animal figurines, jigsaw puzzles, educational games, and natural wooden toys for kids up to 6 years of age – and beyond!

 

Toys ‘R’ Us

So it’s not our favourite place with the loud music and assorted blasts and blaring sirens, but chances are if you’re looking for mainstream name brands, you’ll find it at this global behemoth, and probably at a good price, too. LEGO, Minecraft, Nerf, Chuggington, Crayola, Razor Scooters…they’ve got it all mama.
