Imogen and Aiden are pretty chuffed dad owns a toy store! It is not really all that surprising given they get to test out lots of toys.
So what do the kids of a toy store owner play with? Not surprisingly, they largely like the toys we like – hands on, interactive toys that encourage imagination and cooperative play.
Aiden is a Star Wars fan so he is into a range of products Bunyip Toys doesn’t stock – despite his frequent requests! (no licensed products or movie tie-ins here). Though I must confess to occasionally being tempted to cave in.
What he does love from the Bunyip Toys selection is Playmobil – knights and pirates are his favourite. 
Though fire engines and policemen are a close second. But even better is firemen in castles and pirates driving fire trucks! He likes to mix and match themes and eras, providing a running commentary as he introduces his friends to the world of Playmobil.
Imogen loves doll houses – whether it be a Playmobil Magic Castle or a Sylvanian Families collection. Her current favourite is the Playmobil School - she runs
classes, calls the roll and instructs her friends (imaginary and real). Hours and hours of fun. It is really pleasing watching her play by herself, taking on multiple rolls and telling stories as she goes.
Both kids love their scooters (and the adult Bunyips have their own too now).
Whether it is scootering to the shops or a 5km ride to visit mum’s office after school, the scooters keep them active and fit. Plus they fold up easily so you can take them away on holidays or even just pop them in the boot for a day out.
Both are active readers and our selection of books is made up of their favourites. All of them are books that they have had read to them many times. Imogen even learnt to read partly by reading her favourites to Aiden.
I love talking about toys and helping people select the right ones, so feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Cheers,
Andrew
