Building Blocks by Christopher Jarratt
These architecturally minded, literal Building Blocks by designer Christopher Jarratt are great! They were one of the innovative, eco-friendly toy designs unveiled at the Doing it for the Kids design exhibition. He’ll soon be adding people, animals, bikes and cars to his collection, so kids can populate their small wooden worlds.

Casas de Jardin, Kyoto – Playhouse
Oh, what a lovely playhouse this Kyoto model is by Casas de Jardin which is inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. It comes in three sizes for indoors or outdoors, and unbelievably takes 15 minutes to put up! The kids can also use this as a tent to sleep in under the stars.

Kimochis – The Feelings Toy
We have had our little Kimochi Bug Set above for the girls for a few weeks now and they are thrilled with it – we also got the extra feelings pack. These toys are not just adorable plush friends but a tool for kids to develop their emotional intelligence, which I think is so important. What do…

Amish Horse Pedal Cart
I am a big fan of all things Amish-made: the furniture, the toys, the pies, the raw milk…but I gotta say that this Horse Pedal Cart has to be my newfound fave. What a dream toy – a horse and a bicycle all rolled into one! I don’t think it would be a very…
