Haba Sulky Rickshaw

I took a teeny break from posting last week because I was a bit exhausted from a teething child and was also directing my focus into illustrating some things that have been on my mind. I will be happy to share what I've come up with in a few weeks.

Anyhow, a toy rickshaw for kids wouldn't exactly be something I would expect; however, much to my surprise, one actually exists and it's rather brilliant. Haba's Rickshaw Sulky has already won two design awards -- so there must be something to it.

Classic Wooden Rocking Vehicles

There's something about the holidays that makes me think of rocking horses. Whatever it is, I thought these beautifully crafted wooden rocking vehicles were a nice take on the traditional horse.

10 Grain Log Rocker

10 grain is on a roll with a series of simply designed, bent plywood toys and functional decor pieces. The Log Rocker is one of those toys that struck me as a very obvious concept yet I was surprised that no one had thought of it before. I love that it can accommodate a solo kid or two rambunctious ones at the same time.

Netto Polar Bear Rocker

While on the subject of rockers, I couldn't resist mentioning the elegant and eco-friendly Polar Bear Rocker from Netto. Rufus came all the way from the Arctic Circle! What a beautiful gift this would make.

Svan Wooden Scooter

I'm already one of Svan's biggest fans, so when I found that they designed a wooden scooter (to sit on), I got pretty excited. Apparently, this hit the market in 2006 but I've never seen it before so I thought I'd share the knowledge. It's such a simple design, made of bent birch wood and looks incredibly easy for a toddler to figure out. No peddles, just pushing yourself around Flintstone-style. Fun...
