Melbourne weekends just hit different. ❤️

Sometimes the best family days are the simplest ones, wandering your favourite streets with your BFF, grabbing lunch, discovering hidden laneways and enjoying everything our amazing city has to offer.

We always throw a few wooden toys from our Loose Change range in our handbag. They’re perfect for keeping little hands busy while waiting for lunch, enjoying a coffee stop, or taking a break from screens when you’re out and about.

Melbourne, you’re pretty iconic. ❤️

🌈 Sometimes the simplest toys create the biggest sense of wonder.

Our wooden Kaleidoscope turns everyday light and colour into a mesmerising world of patterns, shapes and movement. Little hands can twist, explore and discover something new every time they look through it. And just from some loose change.

Perfect for sensory play, encouraging curiosity, visual exploration and quiet moments of focus. No batteries, no screens, just old-fashioned fun that never goes out of style. It’s nostalgic.

What patterns can your little one discover today? ✨

Tell me you had kids without telling me you had kids… finding tiny wooden people in your slippers, under your pillow, and randomly staring at you from the bathroom sink. 😅

One thing my boys used to LOVE doing was hiding our little Melbourne Tram, Ute and Sydney Ferry people all around the house. I’d find them everywhere except where they actually belonged.

And honestly? It used to drive me slightly bananas because the sets never felt complete again.

That’s actually one of the reasons we decided as a brand to sell spare people and replacement parts separately. Because good wooden toys shouldn’t just be thrown away when one tiny piece disappears into the family black hole.

Our wooden toys are made to be loved, passed down, played with again, and kept as little memory pieces from childhood.

So whether your Melbourne Tram is missing a passenger, your Ute has lost its driver, or your old Sydney Ferry needs its crew back… we’ve got you covered.

Pick up our Spare People Set for just $20 and make your set whole again 🤎

Play always gets better when you mix things up ✨

One minute it’s a tea party, the next it’s a cosy little camping adventure with marshmallows roasting on the campfire 🔥 That’s the magic of open-ended play. Different toys, different ideas, endless little worlds being created right in the middle of your lounge room chaos 😂

Here are our Tea Set and Campfire Sets playing beautifully together and honestly… they were made for this kind of imaginative fun.

Our wooden sets are designed to work beautifully together, but we also LOVE seeing them mixed with all the other treasures already living in your playroom too. That’s where the real imagination kicks in.

Tiny details. Big imagination. 🍼✨

Our Doll Accessory Kit is packed with all the little extras kids absolutely love because nurturing play is always in the details. From pretend feeds and cuddles before bedtime, this kit turns everyday play into something pretty iconic.

And yes… you get THREE wooden bottles included because one is never enough when the dolls are all “hungry” at once. 😂

Inside you’ll find a whole bundle of adorable wooden doll accessories designed to spark imaginative play, encourage empathy, and keep little hands busy without a screen in sight.

The kind of play that feels old-school in the best possible way. 🤍 Pics by .little.boho
