Collection: GIFTS FOR SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN 6+

Gifts for school-age children: tinker, experiment + create

From six, children want to understand how things work. They tinker with constructions, experiment, learn through play and create with real staying power. Here you will find gifts that spark curiosity and keep them busy for a long time.

Build + tinker

The marble runs from CUBORO, made in Switzerland, challenge spatial thinking and can be put together in new ways again and again. With the building and science kits from Kraul, children build technology themselves and understand how it works. They are joined by construction kits from TIMBERIX, blocks from Frechling and GRAPAT and Connetix magnetic tiles.

Learn + solve

With the peg box and learning cards from Kölner Lernspielverlag, children practise reading, maths and logic on their own, with built-in self-checking. Rüsselfuchs and Eulenschnitt add further learning cards.

Creative + outdoors

Play dough from Noonchi Organics, stamp sets, kaleidoscopes and craft sets from Londji and mandalas from GRAPAT make for creative hours. For outdoor adventures there are walkie-talkies from LIEWOOD and flying discs from Mrs Ertha.
