My 4-year-old son got the Miller Goodman Play Shapes for Christmas, and after admiring them for so long, I can confirm just how COOL they are! The whole family loves them, and it’s so fun to see the different ways of building and creating with all the clever shapes (my daughter likes to stack, my boys like to arrange on the floor). We’ve already spent hours playing with them, and you can tell this is a toy which will remain a favourite for a long, long time. The price tag is high, but this is one toy which is truly worth it (think grandchildren!). The set of 74 wooden play shapes is available from Olive Loves Alfie.
