I am a fan of learning toys, particularly those made with respect of the environment and supporting fair trade. Today I bring you my favourite selection of original toys for young children.

Toddlers learn to count one to ten with this fun wooden centipede puzzle. They learn colours and coordination at the same time whilst being entertained. The wooden train puzzle is a variation of the centipede and a prequel to the alphabet butterfly for older children. They are made in Sri Lanka of rubber wood from sustainable plantations and are completely lead free. peppy-five-stackers

The Peppy Five Stacker and the Bibbo Clown make very entertaining stacking toys which are great for stimulating young children’s coordination and to recognise colours. They are made of wood from sustainable plantations and are completely safe as each piece has been coloured with natural dyes and finished with natural non toxic resin. Both toys are supplied by Leela and made in India by a non-profit organisation that supports rural villages by building worker-owned-cooperatives.
