I’m a huge fan of Japanese toys for kids, especially wooden ones.  The Japanese somehow manage to take a piece of wood and turn it in to something so simple yet so beautiful.  Today it’s all about Chigo toys from Japan.  I’ve had my eye on these toys for a while and once you see them you’ll know why they’re so special.  I love the simplicity of the shapes and the combination of lots of natural wood with splashes of bold colour.  My favourite is the house shaped blocks set but the wooden bowling set is a goodie too.  You can buy the house blocks* from Gretel Home who ship worldwide or you can just admire the toys over at Chigo.jp.  And while you’re there, don’t miss the very cool wooden camera and play phone.

Wow!  How stunning are these wooden ABC blocks?  My pulse is racing, my heart is beating fast… I don’t think I’ve ever seen alphabet blocks this beautiful.  The colours are so bold and bright, the carvings so elegant.  Designed by Alexander Girard, these ABC blocks are made in the USA using only non-toxic, lead-free, child-safe inks.  Imagine these strewn around your living space… for once, you’re not gonna want to tidy up!  You can buy these alphabet blocks from House Industries where they cost $120 for a set of 28 plus $20 shipping to the UK.  And they’re not just ABC blocks, they also have a puzzle on one side and various shapes carved on another. I don’t know about the kiddies, but I’m in want!

P.S. We’re running a lovely giveaway where there’s vouchers to be won.  Check out our Facebook page for all the details.
