An eye-catching, long-standing favorite
Playing with houses never goes out of fashion! Harbour House is a modern version of a traditional dollhouse.

A soft surface for play
The best games are played on the floor. The Polar Bear rug by Mum's ensures a soft playing surface. The rug is hand-woven and made of ethical, mulesing-free wool. Mum's makes a donation to the WWF, equal to 5% of the price of each Jääkarhu rug sold, for the protection of polar bears. Tip: The rug also looks great on walls!
For mealtimes
Children's mealtimes can be challenging – but cheerful dishes can make eating seem like child's play. Tableware by Design Letters is not only beautiful, but also suitable for small hands. The Classics In A Suitcase set includes a bowl, cup, and plate displaying a letter of the alphabet, which you can choose yourself. The dishes come in a fun and stylish briefcase that can be used also for play.
