I’ve been admiring this beautiful wooden stacking toy at my friend Kim’s house for the past two years. I love the simplicity of it, and the colors, and the fact that you can make so many differently-shaped objects.  When I asked her where she got it, she told me she picked it up in Moderna Museet — the modern art museum of Stockholm.  So I pretty much ruled out any chance of getting it… at least until my next trip to Stockholm.

Last week, however, I decided to investigate further… Perhaps the museum has an on-line gift shop? And maybe that gift shop would have those wooden stackers for sale AND ship them to London???  I really thought I was being overly optimistic, but I was wrong!  There is, in fact, an on-line gift shop which sells them!

So I immediately ordered one for my boys, and in less than 3 days it arrived on my doorstep! Easy peasy!  We are so happy with it.  I’ve now gone back and ordered more;  I think it makes the most perfect first birthday present — it’s something that will be loved and played with for a long time.

I just can’t believe it took me two years to get my hands on my very own!
