I’ve been wanting to tell you all about a lovely website for ages but I couldn’t because I’d bought some of Little Owl and Big Dreamer’s presents from it. Gifts given, I’m now safe! It’s called Myriad Natural Toys and Crafts. You can follow the link to it here.
I’m probably fitting into some terrible stereotype here but I love toys like this for Little Owl. But more to the point I wanted toys like that when I was small. I think it might have been the dolls houses that clinched it. Sadly, as beautiful as most of the toys are, they are largely out of our price range but I did get a few little bits and they went down very well.
Big Dreamer got the vegetable brush, which has two sorts of bristles depending on the stubbornness of the dirt. He also got the boat for bath time fun! Little Owl got her very own hair brush and a timer for cleaning her teeth. They’re beautiful tactile things that I hope will last a long time.
Oh, and by the way the dummy trick worked excellently (we told Little Owl that Father Christmas was coming to take it for another child who was littler than her). She did ask for it the next morning and advised me we could get another at Tesco when I told her Father Christmas had taken it (no flies on her!). However, with all the excitement of Christmas Day it hasn’t been mentioned since so…here’s hoping!
