* Wesco's (01376 503 590) bright and charming Animal Cushions and Giant Floor Cushions make highly visible and desirable goals for the crawling explorer. Our favourites are, in the smaller range, Karen the chicken (34) and, among the giants, Hetty the Hedgehog (72), who is big enough to sit on. * Wesco also makes some of the best softplay equipment around. Its Tiny Tot modules offer a safe way of varying the terrain for the newly mobile baby. The range includes mats, shallow steps, cubes, wave-shaped wedges and flat ramps. Available in bright, pastel or patterned colourways, they are made from foam and covered with fabric-backed vinyl. Tiny Tot Module Kit 2 (pictured) costs 136.80.
