Where can I get new toy loops for play gym?

I have a Tinylove activity play gym which I got from an NCT sale a while ago. Baby is due soon so I have been getting it (amongst other things) cleaned up and ready for use. However, a few of the plastic hanging loops are missing (to hang the toys to the arches) where can I get new ones? I have tried googling but the Tinylove website only has a replacement parts sections for USA/Canada! Can anyone recommend something I can use or buy to hang the toys up with?

It is this exact one in the picture if anyone can help:

Try john Lewis

try poundland and similar - I got a pack of 20 for £1. Otherwise Mothercare, which are something like £5 for 5! (Probably an over exaggeration)

Shower curtain loops work too. Also available in poundland.

ELC sell some plastic rings that link and can be used to hang things from.

JarethTheGoblinKing · 17/07/2011 16:14

Ah, JL don't sell them anymore. these were the things I was talking about. No idea why there's a picture of a rabbit chewing them though! Hmm

my sister googled 'tiny love rings' she doesn't like to talk about the results Grin

Amazon?
Jareth, I used to give things like that to my rabbit to play with. They love to throw things and rattle stuff.

HamsterMamster · 17/07/2011 16:39

Thanks for the quick replies! Will be off to investigate poundland tomorrow and Amazon if they don't have any!

argh, that was to Cakes, sorry Blush

Fisher Price do packets called Linkadoos, around 10 or 12 in a packet. Can get them in big toys shops or on-line. Also great for attaching things to buggy and hanging things from handle above door in car above car seat.

wandawings · 17/07/2011 23:19

You can get them in Toysrus too.

Thanks Jareth Grin
Used to be whydobirdssuddenlyappear, but I've hated that username for ages. Thought it was finally time to do something about it.

JarethTheGoblinKing · 18/07/2011 23:37

Is it because of all your base are belong to us? I hope it is so :)

AllYourCakeAreBelongToMe · 19/07/2011 20:21

Jareth, it is indeed. Showing my age there, but it reminds me of the heady days when I spent my time messing around on photoshop and sticking stuff on b3ta working hard and taking no notice of internet memes...
I am, in fact, also the proud owner of a Tshirt that has 'roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF, all my base are belong to you' on it Grin
By the way, did you know that, in 2001, someone hacked the Dutch railways site, to display the message 'All Your Trains Are Belong To Us'?
hehe

JarethTheGoblinKing · 19/07/2011 21:19

Hehe, brilliant. Esp like the poem :)

allthefires · 19/07/2011 22:31

I got some from jojomamanbebe a while ago.

leeloo1 · 20/07/2011 07:37

I bought some on ebay (look up 'baby links')... then saw the official tiny love ones in Babies R Us (with postage didn't work out any cheaper to have bought the 'cheaper' unofficial version). I also spent forever googling to try and find more rings.

I did find that you don't need that many hanging things - as it looked like a forest and baby wasn't as impressed as I thought he'd be. I did find the rings were useful to make a chain and link toys onto his buggy though so we didn't lose toys when out and about, so not a total waste.
