the italian wooden toys you’ll dream about

MIlani Wood - European wood toys for kids - Italian wood toys and games | Small for Big

Okay, so I’m still a little distracted by my new Smallful printables – I just want to go stare at the site and triple check that everything is working. It’s so silly, but when you create something new, it’s so exciting. Luckily these toys grabbed my attention.

Milani Wood is, you guessed it, based in Milan. The toys are gorgeous, but they’re Italian pedigree just adds to their appeal doesn’t it? The funny thing is, several of them remind me of toys made years ago by a now defunct company called Pappa Geppetto’s Toys. I used to work for them, I even visited their factory. But that’s another story. My guess is some classic wooden styles have been made by several different companies over the years. The beauty of Milani Wood’s toys is their natural wood palette – normally things get all muddled with too many colors.

Because they’re based overseas, it took a minute to find Milani Wood toys available here in the states. But I did it! See a fairly good selection here. Or, see a full range at Milani Wood’s website. I’m itching to play with the Crazy Palace Game, and the Hippo Tondotti!

We LOVE milaniwood here! My kids have several of their games, including the Crazy Palace (Palazzo Pazzo) as well as the Tondotti line for my little one. The quality is amazing, and the attention to details is breathtaking. I cannot recommend these toys enough.
