Smooth Operator

Love the sleek look of these eco-toys made in Patagonia from salvaged wood and steel. This puzzle is wonderful too.

Kapla

Almost ten years' old now, the box is battered and torn but how my three children love playing with Kapla. I will probably do a few Christmas Gift Guides at some point but if I were to choose just one present for children of all ages it would be this. My children play for hours with it and amaze me with their patience, precision and creativity. 

You can buy different sized packs and colored versions too if you prefer. We bought our set from this brilliant shop but I think it's fairly easy to find in France and abroad. I noticed this Citiblocs set in the States the other day for those across the pond.
