Rolling into the weekend... looking for Adventure.

I always miss Kruger and the Bushveld at this time of year, so figured I would give our little Explorer their very own safari vehicle to go on a game drive.
What do you think??

A lesson I learnt quickly as a new mom was which toys to invest in; not every gimmick and battery operated something is necessary (or beneficial!).
As an educator and mom, I value toys that stimulate creative thought, problem-solving and imagination. These are skills I believe every child should have developed as a foundation to all future learning... and can be so easily developed through play.

Our toys are designed to grow with your child, and meet them at their level of play (while also helping to develop the key age-appropriate skills). Baby learning how to grip? Our chunky wooden figurines are great. Building vocabulary and into sorting? Yip, they're still great. The sudden interest in stacking and knocking over? You guessed it: our playset figurines make for interesting stacker puzzles. Making sense of the world around them and discovering the magic of small world play? Yes. Our figurines are still perfect.

An investment to last the ages

Did you guess it correctly?
Small world play has so many benefits, and one of those is language development: expanding your child's vocabulary and helping with storytelling.
