Mountain Valley Playmat with circuit - Cross Roads

Mountain Valley Playmat with circuit - Cross Roads

Direction: the Mountain Valley! In this snowy, winding setting, you can travel without fear of cold or altitude! This Mountain Valley playmat is suitable for children aged 2 and over. It features a long, wide road, as well as a railroad track, for venturing into the heart of winter and imagining endless stories! On their play mat with circuit, little ones enjoy winding mountain roads in search of hidden elements, like a search and find game. Spot where the little cat is, the bear out of its den, and stop at the level crossing when the train approaches... There are so many natural elements, animals and characters represented! We start by climbing the mountain passes on our bikes, then head off on a hike to discover the mountain animals, before heading to the equestrian center for a horseback ride. With their fabric play mat, children develop their imagination and vocabulary, as well as their sense of observation. Little ones can even discover shapes and numbers! Another plus for this children's play mat: it's non-slip! Perfect for rolling toy cars on, or simply for little ones who like to keep on the move. In its 120 x 78 cm format, this mat for children's bedrooms offers other play possibilities with its accessories (sold separately): it can be completed with a range of vehicles and wooden blocks, also from our Cross Roads range. You can also link this mountain mat with other mats in the collection, to create a giant play area and extend children's adventures. In fact, the circuits are designed to link up on all 4 sides of the mat. Let's take the night train!

Sweet Cocoon Pull Train

Sweet Cocoon Pull Train

Let's go for a ride! With this 2-in-1 wooden train for babies, it's time for motor skills from 12 months. A pull-along toy, but also a construction set, this pretty early-learning toy features 3 magnetic wagons and 10 pieces to assemble. The various shapes, sizes and colors of the elements encourage your little one's sensory development. It's in the fresh, bucolic world of the garden that baby develops his fine motor skills and coordination, to help him grow. First, you familiarize yourself with the pieces and stack them on the train: 2 flowers and 2 mushrooms are to be put back together. And then, surprise: the shell of the snail at the head of the line is none other than a transparent marble rattle! Baby can shake it to make it sound and stimulate his hearing, as well as his sight by carefully observing the marbles inside. Cleverly, when the rattle is placed on the snail's back, it rolls on itself as the train moves along! As your little one grows and progresses, it's walking that he'll discover in the company of his first-age toy. He grabs the string, and off he goes! Let's go for a walk with his little snail train! Encourage your baby's gross motor skills and imagination with this tender walking toy. We love its little wooden wheels, fun mushrooms and pretty colors. In its 32 x 6 x 12.5 cm format, it comes with a 50 cm long string. From our Sweet Cocoon collection, this wooden snail train is made from FSC™-certified wood.

What are the advantages of wooden cars for children?

The wooden car is a classic early learning toy. Simple, sturdy, and timeless, it accompanies children in their first discoveries while fostering their development. Among its main advantages:

  • ✔ Easy for toddlers to handle: Wooden cars are generally designed with ergonomic shapes and sizes suitable for small hands. Children can easily grasp, push, and roll them.
  • ✔ Motor skills development: Moving a vehicle forward, steering it or integrating it into a course helps to develop hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and precision of movements.
  • ✔ Awakening the imagination: A simple wooden car can become a fire truck, a taxi, a rocket, or the hero of a grand adventure. These toys encourage free play and storytelling.
  • ✔ A durable toy: Wood is a strong material that withstands years and countless hours of play. Wooden vehicles can easily be passed down through several children over time.
  • ✔ An evolving play world: The small wooden cars can be combined with play mats, circuits, trains or other vehicles to create a real world adapted to the age and desires of the child.

Are wooden cars suitable for children under 3 years old?

Yes, many wooden cars are perfectly suitable for children under 3 years old, provided they are specifically designed for their age. From 12 months onwards, toddlers particularly enjoy vehicles that are easy to grasp and push. They gradually discover the concepts of movement, speed, and cause and effect: when they push the car, it moves forward. For younger children, it is recommended to choose vehicles with rounded shapes, a size suitable for small hands, robust and durable materials, paints suitable for children's toys, and models without small, detachable parts.

Wooden cars, trucks, push trains or vehicles from the Cross Roads range are excellent early learning toys to develop motor skills, autonomy and imagination while having fun.
