Noah has been lucky enough to have a great chance to play with some fab wooden toys from PlayMerrily Toys; they sent us over a Wooden Fruit Cutting Set and Wooden Cake Box Play Food from BigJigs Toys. The Wooden Fruit Cutting Set is such a great idea, we play with this together as the age recommendation is 3+ years (Noah has not had any problems playing with the wooden toys and there is nothing too small that he can choke on).
