Earlier this month I was introduced to the beautiful online children's gift boutique, Lovably Me who asked for our Mellow Mummy feedback on their gift ideas for kids. Lovably Me stock some gorgeous kids wall stickers, room decor and nursery decorations but my girls were most taken with the range of toys and games for children from birth to 8 years and upwards.
One of the brands of toys that really stood out to me when browsing Lovably Me was Vilac. Vilac make traditional wooden toys such as role play food, dominoes, musical instruments and games. We tried out this traditional wooden Vilac Pirate Puzzle which is suitable for children from about 4-7 years old.
Lara and Holly are both jigsaw addicts. I haven't counted recently but I suspect the number of puzzles we own is approaching the three-figure mark and they all get regular use. This Pirate Puzzle is one of the most advanced we own and I'm glad we've found a jigsaw puzzle that can challenge Lara but which is still fun. The pieces on this Vilac jigsaw are quite small and the picture features several subtly different ships which Lara had to put quite some thought into in order to get it right.
Despite the challenge of the puzzle, Lara has already been back to it again so at least I know she doesn't feel defeated.
The Vilac Pirate Puzzle costs £15 from Lovably Me and comes in a fun, pirate-shaped presentation box which can be used for storing the puzzle pieces. I think it would make a perfect gift for any pirate-mad (or puzzle-mad) child.
