We adults often forget how much it means to learn things like tying your laces, and how hard it can be for children that are having difficulties learning it.

The Shoes and Laces Wooden Toy is available at Linen Kids for 7,50 EUR.

HaPe’s Pandabo balancing game is easy to learn, decorative and made of bamboo which is a sustainable material. The game is recommended for age four years and older, and works after the same principles as Mikado. Everyone tries to balance the sticks on top of the panda, and if the sticks fall when you are building, you lose the game. The last one still stacking wins.

The game includes one panda, 24 sticks, of three different shapes and a dice.

Pandabo has received the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal Award 2006 and the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Seal Award 2006. You can buy it at Amazon.com (AL) for 14.95 USD.

The little YOLO are environmentally responsible paints in fresh colors. The paint is made by borrowing some of nature’s natural elements and combining them with the environmentally responsible paint, which results in a VOC free paint that is safe for the environment and people. little YOLO paints are certified by Green Seal®.
