HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY ELC! |
This month it’s not only Miss Marnie’s birthday – it’s also the big 4-0 for the Early Learning Centre.
Since staring as a small mail order business in 1974 by a mum and dad who wanted to give their children fun toys that also helped them learn and develop – it has grown-up to over 400 shops in 40 countries.
Miss Marnie loves going into our local branch and never wants to leave. I love the well made and good value toys that make great gifts – especially the classic wooden pieces (of course..)

But, for everyday toys you can’t beat Happyland (quirky characters, brilliant buildings and fab collectibles like the Prince George set that came out this year); Rosebud Village (a wooden dollhouse collection) and Toybox (a recent edition launched in 2013 of click-clack animals and vehicles)
To celebrate its milestone birthday ELC have created a Limited Edition Teddy Bear – and they’ve kindly given me one of the 3000 made to give away to you lovely mamasVIB readers.
Edward is a classic style, snuggley teddy with lovely bean filled paws. One paw is embroidered with ‘Born in 1974’ – presented in a beautiful box with his baby Ted (his paw is embroidered with ‘Born in 2014’). They come with matching green polka dot bows and a birth certificate.
He is so cute and would make a great keepsake – especially for any new babies born this year. So, be sure to enter below for a chance to WIN!
Limited Edition Edward and Ted costs £40.
