The magical world of Londji
Londji: unique and eco-friendly toys
Spanish brand Londji has established itself as a pioneer of sustainable toys: FSC paper and recycled cardboard instead of plastic, made in Barcelona, illustrated by artists – each series in a different hand. Just as with good wooden toys, one thing is clear: sustainable materials and beautiful design are not opposites – quite the contrary. Here we present four favourites from the range.
Penguins Family Domino: fun and cognitive development
The Penguins Family Domino is a wonderful entry into the world of board games: 28 illustrated cards with penguins and their friends – elephants, horses, dolphins, foxes, pandas, drawn by Txell Darné. Matching the motifs, your child playfully sharpens observation and logical thinking, and with every move concentration and problem-solving grow. From around age 3; the instructions are included in German, French and Italian among others.
10 Penguins Puzzle: learning to count with the penguins
The 10 Penguins Puzzle supports fine motor skills and introduces numbers and quantities along the way: ten puzzles grow from 2 to 10 pieces – from the owl via two crocodiles and three pigs to the gang of ten penguins. The largest puzzle comes to 59 cm, so it needs a decent table or the floor.
Dans L'Igloo Puzzle: a voyage of discovery into the ice
With the Dans L'Igloo Puzzle by Aina Bestard, it is off on a voyage of discovery into the world of ice: four puzzles from 9 to 20 pieces raise the difficulty step by step, each measuring 34 × 25 cm. With the enclosed red and blue magic glasses your child discovers hidden figures beneath the ice – puzzling, marvelling and learning combine in a particularly lovely way. From age 3.
Animal Planet Puzzle: animal motifs for environmental awareness
The Animal Planet Puzzle with 70 pieces is puzzle and observation game in one: after assembling it, little zoologists set off on an expedition with the explorer's notebook to track down animal species. Continents and their positions come up along the way – the detailed motifs show the diversity of our planet and awaken an early awareness of protecting nature.
Who is Londji right for?
Londji covers a wide range from toddler puzzles to the 70-piece observation game – which puzzle size suits which age is covered in our overview Toys by age. We present more motifs and games from the brand in our post Londji puzzles and games.
Frequently asked questions
From what age are the games suitable?
Domino, counting puzzle and Dans L'Igloo are intended from age 3. The Animal Planet Puzzle with 70 pieces is considerably more demanding and suits nursery and early school age – here the piece count is a better guide than an age label.
Are the instructions in German?
Yes. The domino comes with instructions in six languages, including German, French and Italian – so Switzerland is covered. The puzzles need no written instructions anyway.
What are the games made of?
FSC-certified paper and recycled cardboard, made in Barcelona. Cardboard also means the pieces should stay dry. A damp table, or puzzling in the garden after rain, costs more life than years of playing.
How much space do you need?
More than the box suggests. The longest of the ten penguin puzzles measures 59 cm, the igloo puzzles 34 × 25 cm each, while the Animal Planet Puzzle is only 21.5 × 18 cm. If you puzzle at the dining table, plan for that with the counting puzzle.
