Gift Guide: The Big Gift!
The pitter patter of little feet early in the morning, excited squeals and bleary eyed parents, it can only be Christmas morning! We've put together a list of our favourite big gifts that will keep them busy until you've at least managed to drink your first coffee (and hopefully right through until after tea!)
1. Tender Leaf Toys Home Kitchen
What's for dinner tonight? Cook up a storm with this super cool kitchen play set. Finished with the most contemporary colours this kitchen is a beautiful addition to a home that's complete with 3 cooking utensils and a hob. Its no secret that pretend play is an essential part of a child's development, as they learn by imagining, observing and doing things.
2. Wobbel Board
The Wobbel Board stimulates balance and strength during play and use. In a playful way, but very efficiently, it supports physical awareness and balance. When using it as a training device, specific muscle groups can be isolated, while other exercises train big muscle groups. This goes for (young) children, adults and even the elderly.
3. Little Dutch Retro Roller
Start your engine and race towards a new adventure! With this cool retro roller you will make a big entrance. This retro roller is a vintage walker that helps your little one make his or her first steps. Inspired by the Formula 1 from the fifties, this olive coloured retro roller will look great in any room, as decoration in the nursery or in your living room. The metal ride-on car comes equipped with metal wheels and rubber tyres and a plastic seat.
4. Little Dutch Balance Bike
The Little Dutch 12-inch balance bike is the perfect first bicycle! This balance bike is a safe and durable balance bike for children aged 2 and up. Riding a balance bike is ideal for the development of control and balance. Perfect as a stepping stone to a pedal bike.
5. Maileg House of Miniature Dolls House
In a busy world of bright lights, bells and whistles, where new stories are continually impressed upon us… Maileg is a world in which matchboxes can be beds for mice; princesses make perfect teatime companions; and adventures can be found on a friendly forest walk. This exclusive wooden dollhouse is perfect for mice, bunnies and all your Maileg friends. Personalise with your favourite Maileg furniture.
6. Kids Concept Play House
The play house tent is made for playing and hanging out. Take down all the sides for a complete house to play in or roll up the sides and invite all your friends to join you. Easy to assemble and to take apart again. Children love building cabins and creating their own little cosy den. They can amuse themselves for hours in there, with various role-plays involving cabin building and “nesting”. The more pillows, blankets, and cuddly toys they can cram in there, the cosier it becomes. In their imagination, their den can become anything - a playhouse, a shop, a library, or simply a cosy cabin. If it’s a rainy day, move the tent indoors to create a cosy outdoor feeling indoors.
7. Little Dutch XXL Train Set
Hop on board the train, the bus, the taxi or the car and explore the town. With more than 100 parts, this set offers many options to get creative and build new combinations over and over again.

Each of the wooden figurines and elements has detailed illustrations on both sides.

9. Ferm Living Tent
