Toys

There is not as good a selection and variety of toys available in Jakarta as perhaps in your home country so you may want to consider this when you visit home, if there is something very specific requested for a birthday or christmas it is prudent to plan ahead!

Animaland
Check out this cute place in FX Lifestyle Xenter. The idea is you choose a semi-stuffed furry animal from the vast range and then fill its tummy with the stuffing provided. You can even include a little sound box. Your cuddly animal is then sewn up by the friendly staff. There is also a fabulous range of clothes and costumes to buy, including Cowgirl, Fireman, Robin Hood and even a traditional German outfit. They would make great presents. Animaland also has a cafe serving snacks and you can host a party in their playground.

At ITC Fatmawati there are a number of shops selling a diverse range of baby goods, equipment and toys. It seems the higher up you wonder the better the prices get. A great place to shop for little ones but NOT WITH THEM; it is cramped, hot and hopeless with a stroller, leave them at home if you can.

Bianca Baby Shop
Fantastic baby shop. Packed to the rafters with everything to do with babies imaginable. Carries brands like V Tech, Playschool, Carters and Fisher Price. A large selection of prams, rockers and high chairs very competitively priced. Well worth a look.

The Yakkum Rehabilitation Centre and Shop
If in Yogyakarta, you should try and make time to visit this centre. For the last 25 years it has been working with physically disabled young people, aiming to rehabilitate them physically and ultimately to become independent. Yakkum clients are involved in the workshops that make and sell a range of products you may have seen at the bazaars: beautiful wooden puzzles and toys, felt characters, and the famous large rocking horses sold in Harrods, London. All the toys are certified and the paint meets EU safety standards. There is a factory shop at the centre but if you make an appointment in advance you can meet and talk with the young producers and their dynamic director, Dr. Istianto Kuntjoro. Your children may play with the samples in the shop!

Outdoor Toys & Equipment

If you are interested in having some playground equipment in your own garden, shop around for quotes. There is a huge variation in price among suppliers of Little Tikes play systems for example. Many outlets on Jl. R.S. Fatmawati sell the locally-made slide and swing sets. These are not made to international safety standards but some are better made than others. Look out for slides with a very steep slope and too short an end. Ace Hardware sell a three-piece good quality set (slide, swing, see-saw) for about Rp 4 million. Their trampolines are also very popular (see below).

Mangga Dua is another good place for equipment.
