Italian Playthings

Italian Playthings

Imagine a family of Italian craftsman gathered around a wood stove carving toys in the mid 1800s.

That was the beginning of the Sevi toy brand, now known for their beautiful wooden toys, puzzles and games. Our favourites are the little helicopter (so cute and only $5!), the rattle butterfly (an infant toy that actually looks interesting, $10) and the incredible village train set ($84).

And yes, the paints are non-toxic and saliva resistant. What else would you expect from one of Europe’s oldest toy companies? —ASI
