Stunning: Pure and simple wooden toys
February 28, 2011
While surfing on the weekend, I discovered a little gem of a shop. A beautiful little site packed with the most beautiful little things for the home and garden (I’m talking serious pulse racing kind’a beauty here). On offer are lots of lovelies including the most wonderful wooden toys that take me back in time. Simple and stylish, they’re all made of natural wood that hasn’t been painted or coloured in anyway. There’s a range of animals including elephants, caterpillars, mice and more. Some are push alongs, some are not but all are oh so pure and innocent looking. Then there’s some deliciously simple stuff for the home including storage ideas, cookware and so much more. But I’ll leave you mama’s to discover these bits.
The store I speak of is Baileys Home and Garden and their philosophy is to rescue and recycle unloved stuff by giving it a new use but always with good design in mind. And lordy, do they do this oh so well! The wooden animals cost from £3.50 and you’ll have to phone or email to place your order. Baileys Home and Garden is seriously hot, so go have a look.
P.S. If you’re in or around the Ross-on-Wye area, lucky you! Check out their tin Tabernacle Tearoom… doesn’t it make you want to visit now?
Push along, push along now.

The classic push along toy, great for encouraging walking and balance. When I bought one for ebabee no.1 I had a root around to see what was around and I wasn’t disappointed.
There’s a whole range of these super colourful push alongs including an elephant, lion, pig and more. The bright beads on the wheels make a fun ‘clacking’ noise when pushed. They cost £8.50 plus £2.95 for delivery from Clementine toys. Ebabee no.1 is the proud owner of the monkey and even though we’ve had it a while, it still comes out to play everyday.
While on the search I also came across a range of flappy feet bird push alongs.
From JLR Toys, the duck and the pelican cost £11.95 with £4.99 delivery. The lipstick red beak on the duck and the flame orange on the pelican does it for me. The blue penguin costs £14.99 plus £4.95 delivery from Stork Gifts. All 3 have large flappy feet which which add to the pushing along fun!
Don’t forget to checkout ebabee, our little auction site.
