At Babydonkie we get asked lots of questions about our gorgeous Ocamora wooden toy range and how our stackers compare to Grimm's, so we thought we would share some side by side comparisons and observations about our Ocamora 9 stacker vs Grimm's 12 stacker also known as Grimm's Large Rainbow stacker.

One of our favourite wooden toy companies at BabyDonkie has just released their newest toys for 2021, aptly titled 'Simple Little Things'.
With 12 new designs across their four ranges of toys, these new toys acknowledge a childhood that is slower and relishes the innocence of that first smell of flower, or jumping in a muddy puddle or climbing a tree to the top for the first time.
The new collection is about remembering that time as a child when we looked at the world with rainbow glasses with a hope and joy for the future.
This DIY activity incorporating FIMO baked clay and wooden dinosaur toys from Lee aka You Give Me Grace is a wonderful way to develop your child's fine motor skills and creative play to make this dinosaur wonderland!

With the introduction of magnetic ball runs this year, I am constantly being asked about the similarities and differences between our Learn and Grow and Connetix magnetic ball runs.
I thought I would do a little side by side comparison and run down for you to help you decide which one you like the best.
Wow, what a year 2020 has been! Who could have known or predicted what this year would be like with the Covid pandemic but I am really looking forward to celebrating Christmas this year and spending time with my family.
I wanted to share some wonderful gift ideas for your children and this year, after consultation with many of you, I have grouped our gift guides in age.
We have stocking fillers and gifts for under the tree and I know that our Marble runs and our Paola Reina dolls have been best sellers this Christmas.
Wow, I can't believe we have reached 50K followers on Instagram! It has taken a lot of hard work and love to get here but I am so appreciative of you being with me on my journey.
As a HUGE thank you to all my lovely customers and followers, I am hosting an amazing giveaway worth over $1500 in prizes!!
There are currently a number of incredible baby dolls available for your little one and it can be hard to decide which one is best suited for your child.
On the blog, I wanted to showcase two baby dolls,MinilandandMinikanethat we are now stocking at BabyDonkie and explain the differences and similarities between them.
Rattan toys are stunning as their simple yet classic designs and sustainable nature mean they can be passed down to the next generation and leave a gentle footprint on our earth. When I choose new brands to stock for BabyDonkie, I carefully decided on brands that are eco-conscious, sell high-quality pieces and timeless designs. Brands that will go beyond any current interior or toy trend which is why I have chosen to stock some gorgeous rattan pieces from Tiny Harlow, Olli Ella and Juni Moon as I know these brands produce luxe quality, timeless pieces that will transcend trends. I also think they are pieces that will suit any room or styling. This month on the blog, we showcase the gorgeous rattan pieces from Australian brands Tiny Harlow, Olli Ella and Juni Moon.
Connetix tiles have been a HUGE at BabyDonkie since they arrived in-store in October. I wanted to do a blog post on Connetix as I get a lot of questions asking about how these tiles compare to Magna tiles, Playmags and Magformers.
Firstly, just to give an overview, magnetic tiles are great for kids 3+ (even younger depending on their fine motor skills) as they allow kids to construct 2D and 3D shapes like triangles, squares, prisms, rectangles and more. These tiles are all about getting as creative as your child's imagination will allow.
As parents, I feel that our children should be growing up in a world where people are loved and embraced regardless of race, colour or religion. A world where kindness is first always and a place where we treat each other with respect, dignity and love. I find that using books and toys helps with having these frank life discussions with my kids
