When my son turned one year old we had a little party for him , and one of the gifts he received from one of my friends was a pack of Chad valley eggs. They don't sound that interesting , but he has loved playing with them s much that I had to go out and buy another set as he kept losing some of the eggs. When his friends come round to play they all like playing with his egg set. For those of you who are not awae what this toy is all about ........ it is basically a plastic egg box containing 6 plastic eggs. Each egg splits into two and each half of the egg has a shape and a colour. This is designed to teach your child to put the right shape into the right section. It cost me around £4.00 , which seemed alot for what it was, but he loves them so much it was well worth it.
