Tinker Toys, a decades old wooden toy with lasting appeal

This is really sweet Courtney, I posted about something really similar on my blog http://www.tobyandroo.com/fantastic-boxsets-by-tiger-tribe/
I love things like this that can just be folded away and kept neat (especially with two very messy boys in my house!) and we too love our Schleich animals 🙂 Harriet x
My kids have ALL adored playing with the schleich toys. This is a really cute barn. Hase weiss also makes a superb barn. The green and blue model is just gorgeous,( looks great in my home which is furnished in almost exclusively eighteenth century antiques!!)
oops typo- gray and blue , not green and blue!
