Duplo?

Is second cousin a boy or girl? Not that it matters for lots of toys...

For 3 year old, how about the Pintoy Construction toys? You can add bits as they get older, but maybe start with the dumper truck or other easily recognisable one. Have a look HERE

For two year old, i'd suggest something like this Transporter Lorry (which the three year old might also like)
Otherwise, maybe Play Food or Putumayo CD

My two year old's absolute favourite toys are his Duplo and his wooden railway, they keep him happy all day!

Orchard toys games/puzzles
Stuff to go with wooden railway if they have one, if not the Fun on the Farm brio one is good for a starter set but maybe slightly above your budget
Happyland stuff (on offer at elc at the mo)
Duplo

hello all - thank you so much.

stars - i love pintoy stuff but its rare down here.in the end nephew had 'no more toys' stipulated - he is somewhat overwhelmed and has many a truck.

apsie/domestic - they both have duplo (cousin is a girl i forgot to say) - had the happyland stuff recommended in ELC as it happens

brio indeed above my budget but cant wait to buy it for dd :-)
