Although it sometimes feels that the new wave of high-tech electronic toys are taking over, there is still very much a place for the timeless traditional toys of yesteryear.
Childhood favourites such as wooden trains, alphabet blocks and shape sorters have a simple charm that toys with microchips, Internet connections or battery powered remote controls just can't seem to beat!
Many of the traditional toys stocked by the shops listed below have been played by many generations of children for centuries. Particularly popular at the moment, are the more 'active' traditional toys such as pull-along animals and timeless favourites like stacking blocks and wooden construction toys.
This shop was created to sell the kind of simple, well-made toys that children enjoy most.
