it's a bit like a marble run, but without the fear of marbles being stuffed up nostrils or lodged down throats (thanks to the big wooden balls)....oh and the combination of ply-wood, jingly bells, peepo holes and rainbow detailing is really rather nice.

there's something fantastically 1970's about these hand knitted puppets - they remind me of something that barbara from the good life might knock up on her loom...but in a good way obviously. I'm seriously digging the lion's hair!

outdoor play houses

12.5.11 • , , , , , •

play houses are tricky...they bring a lot of pleasure to small folk but there are a lot of bad ones out there. not only are they pricey but they're going to sit in your garden for a while so best choose wisely (and be prepared to paint them - I'd advice black with yellow windows like derek jarman's cottage)

as sweet and homely as a bit of cress growing out of an eggshell is, it's not quite as cool as one of these dinosaurs tip toeing along your window sill now is it! (and if you're not exactly percy thrower then these little beasts can be used to store your pencils in too)

it's hard to beat a bit of pottering in the garden...digging in dirt, sprinkling with water, sweeping and transporting makes for a very happy playtime...and lots of fresh air and physical play means that the kids are sure to sleep well (bonus!)

finding nice toy cars for children under three is always a bit harder than one might think. baby friendly, these ones have an easy to hold handle and are made from a plastic that is pvc, bpa and phthalate free - meaning that little ones can chew as they please (should the mood take them)

teepees are big yes, but there is much peepo fun to be had from them and when playtime is over you can stash all the toys away inside them. (they also provide a nice bit of garden shade if/when the weather hots up)
