kidO magnatabs
kidO magnatabs is an ingenious toy that works with little metal beads which are permanently sealed in the plastic magnatab base and a magnetic pen that brings the beads to the surface once you draw over the base.

My sister bought this 'Tsumiki' building block set for Ivy for Christmas and it has been completely commandeered by Marlow!!

The Wobbel Board and fun wooden play tunnels

Mesdames et messieurs, portable checkers game
This portable set of checkers, 'Mesdames et Messieurs', from the French company Les Jouets Libre, is a big hit in our house. Checkers is a fun (and very old) board game that can easily be played with fairly young children (I would say from the age of 6), and gets more strategic and challenging for ...

Dream Car, by Huzi
It's always so great when children's toys are not only great toys (encouraging kids to create, learn and be imaginative), but also when they look so good you'd rather display it on a shelf in the living room than hide it at the bottom of the toy box. The Dream Car, designed by Mike Mak for Huzi, ...
