A Game of Cat and Mouse

- Bright and beautiful wooden stacking toy

Junior’s toying with you. Getting some sardonic satisfaction from watching you sweat as you dart around the nursery trying to find a toy that will stave off his afternoon moodiness. This may be fun for him but for you? Suddenly your life seems to depend on finding that one toy that will capture his imagination and let the time slip by until the refuge of supper, bath and bed.

He’ll love to grab and sort the patterned blocks. And stacking them to create a cat, mouse and dog will help promote hand-eye coordination. That will keep him ahead of the pack (and restore the natural order in your home). Now that’s a well-played game of Cat and Mouse (and Dog).

The toys are designed for ages 2 + but I’ve loved playing with mine from the age of 1 – proof that in this dog eat dog world, I’m ready for the rat race (Note to self – must not mix metaphors).
