Trains! Theo is obsessed!
At first he didn’t want to let me use any of his tracks but once he saw what I built he was pretty happy and spent the rest of the afternoon here! He enjoyed walking around the table pushing different trains around, testing them out going down the ramp and moving the people and houses around.
I turned a tub upside down on the flisat table, an idea I got from @zaras_play_tribe a while ago, used playdough blobs to keep the track in place and added a few houses and tunnels. Took about 5 minutes but lasted the whole afternoon!!!

Train track building is a favourite in this house! Poor Ollie is sick with pneumonia and influenza - but nothing could stop the smiles when @papa_bear_rama started unpacking the trains this morning. .

Have you seen my table make over? I’ve been hesitating to share more from my personal life, projects outside the shop, non toys and kids. But after asking a few times in stories a lot of you reassured me you are also interested, so I’m going to definitely share more. I’m terrible homebody and I used to work as a visual merchandiser and interior designer so anything to do with changing things around the house, creating the perfect home ideas I’m interested. And I think a lot of you too. True is, sharing diy projects around my house started my blog back in 2008, from there I started my shop and things took on. On the other hand there are two fantastic wooden trains in the photo, both available to purchase in our shop. Good morning! .

Things That Go Toy Shelf
I love starting the month with a good ol’ toy rotation. Since we are focusing on things that go, this month’s shelf is full of things with wheels and lots of things to build with! I’m also making more of an effort to make sure that toys are on each shelf. Sometimes I get caught up in offering puzzles and things like that which are important - but they don’t help build play skills! I’ve moved manipulative to the top of the shelf so Hazel can still access them whenever she wants. Swipe to see a close up of each shelf!
