Commotion’s TickiT brand is designed to inspire, engage and educate by enabling children of all ages to enjoy inquiry-led learning. It includes a wide selection of products which are ideal for babies and toddlers, encouraging their naturally inquisitive nature and helping them to learn about the world around them as they grow.
Wooden Mirror Trays are suitable from birth and a lovely resource for any nursery or playroom, allowing babies to examine their faces and watch their own movements. Perception Spheres and Cubes are made from smooth polished acrylic and the crystal-clear colours make a captivating addition to a baby’s play environment.
Also suitable from birth, the Sensory Reflective range includes beautiful shiny metal balls and buttons made from robust, lightweight hygienic stainless steel. The sets come in a variety of colours and sizes, some with different sound or movement characteristics, and the metal can be cool or warm to touch, providing an additional sensory feature.
My Emotions Wooden Tiles feature real photographic images of children’s faces. Designed for young children to explore and understand different feelings and emotions, they are equally captivating for babies who are fascinated by facial expressions.
Wooden heuristic play and loose parts sets are designed for discovery. Babies from 10 months will be inspired to investigate the diversely shaped objects and their properties. The smooth wood is a tactile resource for young children to play with, whilst learning how different objects move, sound, look and feel.
The Easy Hold range enables children over 12 months to independently explore the effects of colourful, glittery or glow-in-the-dark panels, as well as different mirrors and magnifiers. Sensory Blocks and Rainbow Blocks are signature TickiT products for children from 12 months, but they continue to appeal as the child gets older, providing interesting and varied learning opportunities: discovering the different properties of the Sensory Blocks, watching how the different colours of the Rainbow Blocks change the world as they see it and even the youngest children can begin to study different shapes and use logical thinking to stack, build and topple their towers.

Little Tikes is one of the leaders in the pre-school toy market, with a wide range of toys that supports the development of early learning skills through play. Little Tikes’ Learn & Play range caters to all children taking exciting steps through their first few years, with products designed to help them through early milestones and support cognitive development in a fun and encouraging way.
Suitable from nine months, The Movin' Lights Monkey uses light to get babies moving. The interactive toy encourages little ones to move and groove to fun songs and coloured lights that emanate from Monkey's lantern as he moves and twists.
The Stand n Dance Starfish tower encourages babies to create music and dance along. The light-up keyboard can be played by little hands when sitting, or by little feet when standing and dancing. Little ones can use the curvy tower to pull up to a standing position, then chase the balls down the spiral ball drop.
The 3-in-1 Sports Zone introduces little ones to the fun of football, basketball and bowling. Offering triple the play within one toy, infants can slam dunk while developing their coordination and confidence, score a goal while building motor skills, and bowl while learning about shapes. The toy has three modes: Learn (numbers, colours and shapes), Move (lights and sounds) and Games (with directions to follow). Suitable from nine months, the toy’s adjustable structure allows it to grow with little ones as they get bigger.
Parents can introduce infants to the joy of numbers and fuel their love of colours with the Count & Learn Hammer. Perfect for little hands thanks to its two super-soft heads and textured grip, the hammer counts out loud with every tap. In Colour Mode, the hammer lights up and says the colour name as it cycles through each one. Packed with silly sounds, it’s guaranteed to keep little mathematicians giggling through play.
The Little Tikes Shapes & Sounds Paintbrush helps kids develop colour recognition and teaches shapes to children aged nine months and up. Each wave of the paintbrush reveals a colourful light display as the paintbrush speaks the corresponding colours: blue, green, orange, pink, purple, red and yellow. Children will be able to learn six shapes as the paintbrush directs them to paint the shape in the air and rewards them with fun sounds.
