Vilac Truck with Animals

We love it because:

• Ingela P. Arrhenius's artwork is warm, vivid and unmistakable. The elephant, lion, monkey and giraffe feel like a travelling troupe, not a set of counting blocks.
• Loading and unloading the trailer works wonders for hand-eye coordination and grip, in the most satisfying way possible.
• The truck pulls along on smooth wheels, which means it works on hard floors and low-pile rugs, and gives children somewhere to drive the whole operation.
• It's made from solid wood with child-safe paint. It's built to last the full toddler years and still look good on a shelf afterwards.
• Vilac is a French toy company with deep roots in the Jura region, where wooden toy-making has been a craft for generations. This is one of those purchases that has real provenance behind it.
