We live in a city apartment with two kids. I’m trying to downsize on toys as we’ve got too many; it’s just clutter they don’t play with. If you could choose the 5 best toys for 2 and 4 year old girls what would they be?

I’m thinking puzzles, magnetic tiles, dolls house, some stuffies and not sure what else…

My son is 4. He watches a little tv (max 2 hours) approx 4 times a week-doesn't have any personal devices. So I'm not judging at all, but found this very concerning!

My little ones will only sit for about 5 minutes if that to do anything creative or puzzles, just worried about their attention span or is this ok? I feel like everyone else's little ones can sit for longer.

Holiday with 18 month old

Thinking of going on a Caribbean cruise with my baby when he is around 18 months old and wanting some advise from people that have travelled with baby at this age. What sort of things do you need to take? Do you take plenty of nappies or would you be able to get some while away? Thanks in advance
