I never really paid attention to kids TV programs until I had my very own toddler, and although I had come across In the Night Garden before, I had no idea how much time I was going to spend watching it!
Popular children’s TV shows like this have always produced a whole range of merchandise which will naturally provide a whole range of potential birthday present ideas.
BBC’s In the Night Garden
The genius behind this show is that it was created to help wind children down and put them into the bedtime zone, and sleeping children, as any parent will know, are a very precious thing!
But despite the intentionally incredibly repetitive and formulaic make up of the program, I have become rather fond of it myself. And needless to say, my little toddler adores the show!
Characters such as The Tombliboos and the Pontipines have quickly become household names and of course we now all know the actions and words of the Iggle Piggle and Upsy Daisy’s songs!
We also love watching the little clips that you can find online, check out the official page over here.
In The Night Garden Birthday Present Ideas
My son was given a bedtime Iggle Piggle toy by his uncle for his first birthday and it quickly became his comforter of choice. Not only that but one of his first ways of communicating was to fetch Iggle Piggle and point at the TV indicating he was in the mood for some Night Garden watching!
Since then we have come across a whole range of merchandise that, according to the producers, are designed to extend the experience beyond the television set. The cynical might suggest it’s more about making them some additional income but either way, our little boy loves the products which make them a good option for a Birthday Gift.
Here are some suggestions:
- Iggle Piggle Cuddly Toy
- Mega Bloks Night Garden Gazebo
- Episodes on DVD
- A Pinky Ponk or a Ninky Nonk!
- Story Books
Head over to Amazon and you’ll find a whole range of products from toys, games, back packs, books and DVDs.
