Lots of new toys from Janod & Goki

Janod tool kit and DIY barrel

While we’ve stocked Janod & Goki toys for a few months, the last selection flew off the shelves so fast we were barely able to spread the word! So listen up, because this stuff is GOOD! In fact, the Janod tool kit and DIY barrel is so fabulous, i’m not sure its going to be in store for long. Did you play with Meccano as a child? Meccano nowadays is made from plastic and is such a disappointment to play with, but this DIY barrel by Janod fills the engineering hole in your heart with lots of fascinating wooden bolts and rods and tools. Guaranteed to keep minds busy for generations, and affordable too!

Toys for boys: Janod’s plane and rocket puzzles, and race car ramp

Janod, founded by Louis Janod, is an internationally respected company who has been a specialist wooden toy makers for over 40 years. Their motto “play by nature” is the essence of Janod’s love for natural and ecologically sourced wood.

French skittles, wooden sand buckets, flower press, bagged marble game set

Janod puzzles for little people

The Bureau Veritas tests and verifies the high quality toys Janod manufactures in France, guaranteeing your child plays safely and the toy endures through the years.

Magnetic activity/drawing centre, tangram magnetic book, bead set, kalimba/finger piano

Rainy days are so much nicer when you can cozy up and play your kalimba! This finger piano has such a beautiful sound its the one ‘noisy toy’ you’ll find you love. The magnetic books and folding activity case would be great for a long flight or car trip.


Need to restock your menagerie? The wooden animals by Goki and Holztiger are individually handcrafted out of solid maple wood, softly rounded and painted by hand using watercolours.

Goki games: balancing crocodile, Can of worms, catch the bee in the tulip, balancing donkey game, stacking flower game

Lovingly crafted functional design and contemporary colours are the distinguishing features of German toy brand Goki. Good wooden toys are essential for the development and retention of motor, sensory and tactile skills.

Doll enthusiasts will fall in love with Chou, the Lilliputian baby in a leaf cradle! And don’t forget the dress-up bears and their extensive wardrobe – such a great present for 4+ kids and a subtle way to help their fine motor skills.
So pop in soon and have a look for yourself, you won’t be disappointed, these are truly wonderful toys!
