Wooden Mouse and Cheese Game
Thorpe Toys Meet the Maker: Thorpe Toys
$14.95
Mouse & Cheese is great for developing hand-eye coordination in babies and very young children.
This learning toy helps your child develop hand-eye coordination as they move the "mouse" through the "cheese".
Repetition of the simple actions of threading and unthreading with the Mouse & Cheese helps to build critical neural pathways that will become the basis for future complex actions. As things progress, children start making patterns with the lace across the "cheese".
This simple toy allows your child to build a lot of skills for things to come. Also, because this toy is natural wood with no paint or stain, it is safe for them to chew on.
A classic toy that is heirloom-quality and built to last. These are toys that can be handed down from generation to generation.
Made of natural wood with no paint, stains or toxic finish.
Appropriate for children aged 1-5 years
Dimensions approximately 6.5" diameter
Made by Thorpe Toys in Waterloo, Ontario.

This Balloon Boat is perfect for bath-time. A wonderful alternative to plastic bathtub toys, the durable and solid design of the Balloon Boat means it will keep on floating and is ready for years of play.

Want a different balloon colour, shape or size, no problem. You can replace the included balloon with any balloon with a standard-sized opening. It's fun to see how far the boat will go with different sizes of balloons.
The Balloon Boat comes in unfinished wood with no paint, stains or toxic finish. Just leave it to dry on the side of the tub when bath time is done.
