New to Bounty?
It’s definitely not too early to begin getting organised for the season of gift-giving that’s on it’s way and the toy aisle is generally the first stop.
With everything that has happened this year, a focus on at-home play has meaning like never before. So what exactly should we be putting in our trolleys for kids this year?
With so many toys on the market, we want to make sure that our hard earned dollars are going to be spent on toys that are not only educational and practical, we want toys that the kids will actually play with!
Fortunately 2020 has seen some pretty epic entries onto the toy scene, and we’ve rounded up some of our favourites in the gallery below.

Count on picking up learning with the Pick Up & Count Vacuum.

Five light-up panels illuminate to match the colour of the piece the vacuum picks up, and the vacuum says the colour name and counts the piece to reinforce learning.
