Having spent a month in the German speaking part of Italy, I have been surrounded by many things that are not easily available in Milan. Among those were the famous Falke Catspads (that I bought for the whole family, parents included), the most incredible bread that would make Esther (and dutch people in general) happy, and loads of German wooden toys.
I bought Millino for my daughter, and I picked him out of many other rattle-like toys not only because of his very cute face but also because of the lovely sound it makes when you hold it from one end and you shake it. It’s a soft wooden “clickety-click” (a bit like a castanette) that both my kids loved immediately!
