Brio crane

This Brio crane with its magnet pick-up and winding mechanism would surely keep any inquisitive toddler happy for a while - and I love the design with those primary-coloured blocks and a very 'now' orange for the crane.

Available in the US from Fort Lauderdale-based Kids' Scandinavian Shop for US $24, and in the UK at a heftier £22, from Lula Sapphire.
