Les Minouchkas - The Cradle

£20.50

Little Émile is just drifting off, gently rocked, the moonlight doing its quiet work, and this beautifully illustrated wooden cradle with its sweet checkered mattress is exactly the cosy scene that line conjures. It is small, simple and lovely, the kind of piece that invites quiet, gentle storytelling rather than boisterous play, and it makes a sweet addition to a growing Minouchkas world for a child who enjoys nurturing, tender narratives.

We love it because:

  • Beautifully illustrated wood with a sweet checkered mattress, full of charm in a small footprint.
  • Encourages gentle, nurturing imaginative play rather than rowdier games.
  • Beautifully made and detailed, very much in keeping with the rest of the Minouchkas collection.
  • Pairs beautifully with the Minouchkas figures (sold separately) for a complete bedtime scene.
  • A lovely, quiet addition to a growing Minouchkas world.
  • A sweet gift for a child who loves tender, caring imaginative stories.
