AnonyMouse_30128 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 we currently have castle/cars/trains/farm...the usual sort of stuff but i am trying to get rid of the plastic happy street and replace with something more wooden/natural....any ideas for good small world ideas????
Guest Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Yellow Door do a series of small world settings you might want to have a look at. They're a bit pricey - we bought just the key pieces - natural wood tunnel and a wooden fairy house - then dressed them up with figures etc we already had. We also bought some wooden pieces from an aquatic store which have been great for all sorts of scenarios.
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Cosy also do some natural small world bits. However, if you've got anyone who's handy with a saw could you get them to cut branches into various lengths - you could have some slices to be stepping stones. Get a few much bigger ones and paint/carve a door or window into them? Not sure I'm explaining very well - I have a picture in my head!

Like the yellow door ones...especially the pirates and lighthouse! I like the 'plan' toys stuff but am finding it just doesn't hold up to our lot! I have the coconut houses from cosy and the small world staging ...anyone found a hospital or school set that's any good?
AnonyMouse_22106 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I have the coconut houses from cosy I was looking at those the other day, are they robust enough for group settings? Like the Cosy catalogue, just don't like the fact that you can't order on-line

Me too! It's such a shame. Their products are wonderful but their customer service and organisation leaves a lot to be desired! We have bought some little wooden houses from pet shops that the children love. Also little log tunnels that are meant for guinea pigs I think! The children are really imaginative with them. 2
