The xylophone I got Peanut was from PlanToys, a Thai based toy company. I checked out the rest of their products via their website, and was absolutely smitten with their range of wooden toys. These are wooden toys that look anything but old-fashioned. Too bad the PlanToys webshop doesn't do international shipping (and their prices only listed in Thai Baht), and there seems to be no retailer that carries all of their products. But if you Google the name of the product you're interested in, they'll come up in various shops around the world.
Pictured above:
1. Balancing Cactus, a balancing game for 1-4 players. Put additional branches without toppling it down. Looks gorgeous doing nothing on the shelves as well.
2. Tree House. I just love it. I do realise my child might prefer a more housy kind of doll house when she gets to that point, but the Tree House is just the coolest looking doll house I've seen so far (even boys might want to play with it).
3. It might look a bit lonely standing on its own, but City Station is part of the PlanCity range. Instead of the quintessential boyish railroad set, little girls might relate better to a city playset with roads (and cars) instead. PlanCity range comes with a variety of buildings from Hamburger Drive-Through and Ice Cream Kiosk to Pier and Airport.
4. The answer to all my problems: Tori is a collapsible rocking horse. If I could find one before Peanut's birthday (without delivery costing the same as the horse, if not worse), I'm getting it.
