Why do we love open ended toys so much?
We believe that play is one of the single most important elements of childhood, by providing a small but well thought our collection of toys we can allow our children to dream, imagine, problem solve and adventure way beyond the boundaries we've found ourselves with as adults.
Toy building blocks are my favourite recommendation.
Whenever I am asked about what is the best toy to gift to a child I always say blocks! Whether its for a one year old or 4 year old the humble toy block is the cornerstone of the toy box. they provide so many oppotunities to play, build, develop, count & sort that they pay for themselves year on year.
mixing and matching from different sets is one of the best ways to see c ahcilds creative side come alive.

Hi, I'm Lauren, mama of one and master of non, lover of slow Sundays and chocolate hobnobs and I want you to know why Charnwood's Child is so special to me. When my daughter Wallis was born I discovered a new way of looking at our world; living in Charnwood we had abundance of beautiful forests and parks and seeing how she used her imagination inspired me to think of toys differently.
I began to spend far too long trying to find a site that delivered the best in quality, craftsmanship and aesthetics but which also put the sole focus of natural and imaginative play at the heart of their designs. When I increasingly found myself having to look further afield, discovering brands in Greece, Russia, Denmark and USA I decided to bring them all under one roof, this roof! I hope you enjoy browsing and please get in touch if you need any help.
