WOODEN TOYS TO BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY


Wood is an ideal material for a baby's first sensory impressions,
as it has many different sense experiences.
It has grain, and is sometimes lighter or darker.
It is hard or soft, rough or smooth and smells nice.
It sounds different, is heavy or light and has a certain warmth.
Bacteria cannot breed on wood.
This is especially true for none varnished wood.
We just unpacked the first box of European wooden toys.
Stacking rainbows (just like the one in our play area - shown above),
stacking rings, bead rollers, baby rattles and beaded necklaces.
Still to come: carry along doll houses, baby dolls,
play animals, puppets, building blocks and more.

ojo de dias

We wrapped wool and wrapped wool and wrapped wool and 3 days later ...

we had a window of those diamond shaped wool and stick objects
that i remember making as a child - "ojo de dias"
Thank goodness for google or we wouldn't
even know what to call our little creations.
We recommend it! -the perfect Fall craft to
enjoy with the little ones. If you need any tips
just let us know :)
