Hi Does anybody know where we can buy any numbers for outdoors? Natural materials preferably to link with our naturalish play area. I guess I could take a trip to a hardware shop for numbers for doors etc, not sure if that would provide the correct number 4 though. We have the money, I would like something enduring.
