Guest Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yellow Door do a series of small world settings you might want to have a look at. They're a bit pricey - we bought just the key pieces - natural wood tunnel and a wooden fairy house - then dressed them up with figures etc we already had. We also bought some wooden pieces from an aquatic store which have been great for all sorts of scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Cosy also do some natural small world bits. However, if you've got anyone who's handy with a saw could you get them to cut branches into various lengths - you could have some slices to be stepping stones. Get a few much bigger ones and paint/carve a door or window into them? Not sure I'm explaining very well - I have a picture in my head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the yellow door ones...especially the pirates and lighthouse! I like the 'plan' toys stuff but am finding it just doesn't hold up to our lot! I have the coconut houses from cosy and the small world staging ...anyone found a hospital or school set that's any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperrabbit Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I have the coconut houses from cosy I was looking at those the other day, are they robust enough for group settings? Like the Cosy catalogue, just don't like the fact that you can't order on-line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too! It's such a shame. Their products are wonderful but their customer service and organisation leaves a lot to be desired! We have bought some little wooden houses from pet shops that the children love. Also little log tunnels that are meant for guinea pigs I think! The children are really imaginative with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
