Potted Gnomes

Why this set is so awesome!

Handmade wooden toy set features 6 rainbow friends sitting in matching cups. This great toy is not only good for learning to match colours and count, but also for open ended play. Children can use their imaginations to use the cups as sailors floating down the river, astronauts in rocket ships discovering new planets or anything else their imaginations will create.
The best part of this open ended toy is that they do not even know they are learning through play.
