Joy!


Yesterday I walked into a learning centre and it was row upon row of brightly coloured plastic, shaped into some sort of toy, usually with flashing lights or an electronic voice. I left feeling uninspired and bored. 


I had been looking for a Grimm's Rainbow having come across one at a playgroup and seeing the potential for lots of fun, decided to buy one for Tiny. My search took me online and I was overjoyed to discover this online shop - Myriad Toys. I ordered the rainbow along with their catalogue and having flicked through it today I feel excited and happy to have found such a place. It is full of thoughtful and exciting resources for play and not a plastic, flashing toy with only one purpose in sight. Joy!
