Using Genielocker to Craft Bespoke Gift Lists for Children
Parents and teachers alike have long known that a child’s brain can soak up information like a sponge. By the age of 4 a child’s brain is more than twice as active as an adult’s! At such a critical age it’s important to make the most of this brain power and help set them up for a prosperous and successful future by the power of play!
When we say ‘educational toy’ the first thing to spring to mind might be a traditional wooden abacus or globe, but toys and tech have come a long way since then and the educational toy industry is big business! If you’ve had enough of Disney’s Elsa singing ‘Let it go’ – why not check out some of our educational toy ideas for your little ones.

If you have a little one yourself, a great way to keep track of their toy demands and your own gift ideas for them, is to set up a Genlielocker list. Perfect when preparing for birthdays, Christmases or any other random acts of toy-giving kindness. You can share your Genielocker list with partners, friends and family so you can all work together to purchase a set of gifts that are on the pre-approved list of ideas! You can purchase directly from the Genielocker list which means it’s simple and avoids endless trawling across internet sites or even worse, on the highstreet – Perfect for clueless aunties and uncles! Oh and don’t worry – there’s no chance of doubling up on gifts either as items get blocked out once someone shared with your list has made a purchase.
Feeling inspired? Set up a Genielocker list for your child now!
