Anyone else take over the toys when the kiddos aren't around? Blockitecture by Areaware is a staff favourite since it's super fun to design your own little city where everything is just so. It's great on its own or mixed with Way to Play Roads, Grimms Rainbows (for bridges and tunnels), Candylab candy cars and more to really kit out your city.

Grapat loose parts "cakes". Just one of the many ways to play. My son came up with it without prompting and I must say, I loved playing along.

In case you're wondering, the bases are the round tree slices from the tree blocks sets by Magic Wood. ... https://dillydallykids.ca/collections/grapat-wooden-toys

Happy Friday! May your weekend be full of sleep ins (yeah right!). https://dillydallykids.ca/collections/maileg

Just a little afternoon coffee break. The always adorable big sister mouse from Maileg is tucking into a pretty great spread. The cake set in suitcase comes with two gold flecked tea cups, four delectable cakes and two saucers/plates. Pack it all back up in the beautiful little suitcase when snack time is over. Don't like this suitcase? The set also comes in blue suitcase with white polka dots. Link below for the cake set. ... If you're wondering which Maileg mouse this is, it's the big sister in ochre skirt (she comes with a cute little matchbox bed to sleep in). https://dillydallykids.ca//maileg-new-cake-set-in-suitcase

Sarah's Silks! Sigh. Just so dang pretty. A new favourite trio of toys for me is the tree blocks from Magic Wood, the fairy dolls from Ambrosius and play silks from Sarah's Silks.

In our opinion, the perfect hike ends in a delicious, al fresco meal! Maileg's picnic set is the cutest little set for your hiking mice (or any of their sweet bunnies or mice, but we especially love it with the hikers). Spread out the cheerful blanket and munch on two kinds of cheese (of course ), bread and some sausage. Yum!!
