Preparing for a baby can be expensive. Between getting a cot and clothing them and ensuring that you have everything else that you're sure you're going to need, you can often find yourself in a pit of wondering where all your money is going. Thankfully, there are a lot of places out there now that give you a wide range of price options, so if you do have a tight budget you can still ensure the safety of your little one while you're at it.

One of my favourite places to go to find little gems is Kmart. While it is usually my go-to place to stock up on craft items they also have a lot of toys at cheaper prices that meet safety standards for your little ones. The toys in the Anko brand also tell you what they are to help in relation to skills so if you are a new parent (or even on your second or third child) you know what the toy can be used for.
