Last week, I found the most amaz­ing toys in a reli­gious run shop, Nikolai-Eck, at Niko­laikirch­hof in Leipzig (if you’re in the area, def­i­nitely pay it a visit). I’ll post about them over the next few days. First up is Janoschik Toys (Ger­man site, Eng­lish site).

Janoschik 4-wheel Scooters

These are seri­ously cute wooden toys in the shapes of ani­mals, like the ride on scoot­ers above and the coin banks below. Aren’t those owls just precious?

Janoschik Money Boxes

The toys are hand made of Euro­pean wood in Ger­many and seemed sub­stan­tial and of very nice qual­ity when I exam­ined them in the store. I also think that my pho­tos some­how turned out to rep­re­sent the actual cute­ness of the toys bet­ter than the pho­tos on the Janoschik web­site, and they were even cuter in per­son (was seri­ously dif­fi­cult not walk­ing out of the store with one of those mouse scooters).

The scoot­ers and coin banks are avail­able from Holzfarm.de (site in Ger­man) and the scoot­ers only from Artedona.de (Eng­lish and Ger­man). Arte­dona ships worldwide.
