🧠 Cognitive

There's a specific satisfaction in the solid 'clunk' of a wooden block dropping into its box. It catches their attention immediately—the sound, the disappearance, and the retrieval. You'll watch them test each piece, turning it over in their hands until they find the right angle to slide it home. Beyond the fun, this is serious work for their developing brain. From around 18 months, they move from simple banging to precise manipulation, learning to recognise shapes and match colours while strengthening the hand muscles needed for drawing later on.

This little birdhouse is designed for toddlers who are just starting to explore how objects relate to one another.

The Curious Explorer: Who loves the concept of object permanence—dropping things in and finding them again.
The Problem Solver: Who is ready to match specific shapes and colours with deliberate focus.
Grandparents: Looking for a classic, plastic-free gift that looks beautiful on the shelf when not in use.

The Joy of "In and Out"

At around 18 months, children discover the magic of posting things. It starts with just pushing anything through the biggest hole. But soon, you'll see them pause. They'll pick up the blue bird, look at the blue outline on the roof, and try to match them up. This isn't just play; it's the beginning of problem-solving logic.

Built for Little Hands

The six chunky shapes—a mix of geometric forms and sweet garden characters—are designed for a whole-hand grasp, gradually refining into a pincer grip as they get older. Unlike plastic versions that can be brittle, these are solid rubberwood. They are tough enough to handle the inevitable drops and throws of toddler life while being smooth and safe for exploratory mouthing.

Easy to Reset

The roof lifts right off. This is a small detail that makes a big difference. It means they can retrieve the shapes themselves without coming to you for help every two minutes, building that crucial sense of independence. Measuring approximately 16 cm x 12 cm x 14.5 cm, it's compact enough for a highchair tray but substantial enough not to get lost in the toy box.
