Though we thought our moderately feminist, gender-neutral ways would create a boy who would not discriminate against dolls, our son’s first word was “car.”
We have given into the nature over nurture concept and now enjoy watching his face light up at sleek movers of all kinds. That’s why we’re thrilled that Playsam, a leading Scandinavian toy manufacturer renowned for its vehicle designs, is now available in Canada.
In this era of toy recalls, their brand new green line organic does embrace eco-principles without skimping on style. The Streamliner Rally ($49.99), featuring two tiny drivers in a gorgeous wooden push car, is made from German beech wood and meets all European toy safety standards.
But it’s the line of heirloom quality activity toys that really captured our hearts. Their Swedish take on the rocking horse ($164.99), available in red or black, looks better than our other Swedish furniture. There’s also a rocking rabbit ($164.99) for equinophobes. For your future CEO, the Roadster Saab ($369.99) features a design so innovative it makes the Batmobile weak at the knees.
The hardest part will be the tears Daddy sheds at not having one in his size.
