I started out with the top 8 toys I thought would be really cool to have as a toddler, then I decided to create this wish list of toys that I’ve come across during my shopping trips with Gavin and surfing online that I think would be great toys to have in the toy box. 

Thinking a toy will be loved and knowing a toy is loved are two different categories altogether so I’ve also created a list of recommended toys based on the toys that have been really big hits with Gavin.  You can find that list here.

1. Outdoor Play Equipment.

I’ve always wanted to get outdoor play equipment for Gavin. Most of the outdoor sets are the standard, multi-colour plastic ones you see at Toys ‘R’ Us like the one below so you have to admit that the jungle gym in the picture above is just too cool, no?

2. Musical Thomas The Tank Engine Toy

Gavin really loves the music to Thomas and Friends and he also loves inserted the discs into the DVD player so I figured he would really enjoy a toy like this. The only thing is that I’ve only seen it once before but I can’t remember where. I found it online but have yet to come across it again in the stores.

3. Thomas the Tank Engine Draw ‘N’ Doodle Mat - Aquadoodle - Spin Master

I came across this one when I was searching online for some Thomas toys. I haven’t seen it in action but I thought it was way cool. I would have bought it just for the Aquadoodle part if only Gavin didn’t already have a Doodle pad which he got from his godparents. I even found an aquadoodble in Isetan for RM50 (see picture below), but I couldn’t justify buying it since Gavin already had crayons and the Doodle pad which have the exact same purpose.

The really cool thing about the Thomas Aquadoodle is that it comes with a Thomas train that will follow the railway tracks you draw on the Aquadoodle. Now that’s really cool…

4. LEGO Duplo Thomas & Friends - Thomas Load and Carry Train Set

Gavin’s got a duplo set that he really loves playing with and he also really likes Thomas. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that he’s going to really love this Thomas Duplo set. My SIL was the one who put me onto this one when she told me she saw a set in Australia. I haven’t seen it around in Malaysia yet, but I have seen a Bob the Builder Duplo set which I am sure Gavin would like too since he is also a Bob the Builder fan (albeit he still prefers Thomas).
