But if you look closer, you'll spot wooden counters for sorting and counting games, mushrooms to lend to other forest scenes, honeycombs or bee hives for stacking, hiding and sorting. The green wooden cone shape trees can become rockets shooting into the sky, with the adorable, rainbow colours Tomten Nins® representing family members or becoming crucial characters in your story sacks.

This open-ended wooden toy set will be adored by Waldorf settings, who will delight in the smooth, tactile wood, and aiding the creation of wooden gnome or fairy scenes, helping develop your child's imagination and vocabulary skills.
