Kukkia produces clever and beautiful wooden toys. Kim Thomerson, in charge of European customers for the company hand picks five toys that deserve some very special attention.

1/Tsumiki because they are classic, solid and beautifully made blocks that will last a lifetime…2/ Tanabata because they are versatile being used as dominos, counting pieces or decoration and have a funky gold bag. 3/ Mame Ohagki, because you can also use them in many ways but good for children’s dexterity. 4/Hamburger set because I like the novelty of the idea-maracas and castanet, and the nice sound they make. 5/ Machi, because kids can use their wonderful imagination to draw their own dream world and there are no limits…
