Grimm's Casa Coral

Grimm's Casa are fantasy building block sets that are perfect for creating a magical fairy tale scene. With soft, organic shapes and beautiful hand drawn details in silver, these tactile blocks combine brilliantly with other Grimm's toys. A truly open ended toy, stack them up, add them to creative colourful builds and make a home for your fairies and gnomes in some fairy tale small world play.

A brilliant open-ended toy by the loose parts specialists Grapat. Each of the Little Things are truly unique, and a celebration of the little things in life. These little pots can hold tiny treasures and hidden beneath the lid is a little friend! The lid even doubles up as a spinning top. These are perfect for taking out on a winter walk to fill with natural finds. Maybe a precious stone, a shell, a tiny seed head or a feather.

PlanToys Penguin Sailing Boat

Super cute, sustainable bath time fun. The PlanToys Penguin Sailing Boat is a classic and we've been recommending it for years! Ticking all the eco boxes, its responsibly made from PlanWood. This utilises left over rubberwood sawdust, in a formaldehyde free zero-waste manufacturing process. This little penguin and boat is perfect for water play, but just as happy on dry land for some imaginative play. There's also a polar bear and seal sailing boat too if you want to collect the whole polar sailing boat set!

We love these chunky fair trade Lanka Kade wooden figures! Handcrafted in Sri Lanka from sustainable rubberwood they are great value and ethical too. There's lots to choose from, including farm animals, people who help us, festive figures, dinosaurs and a whole range exclusive to us here at Babipur. Perfect for small world play, they are robust enough for messy play and great for story sacks. Every Christmas stocking should have a Lanka Kade figure or two inside.

Frugi Penguin Super Socks

Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a new pair of socks, and these Penguin Super Socks are just the job! Made from organic cotton they are bright, colourful and come in their own festive penguin bag - how cute is that?
