Forget the kids, I want these to display in a bowl on my sideboard – they are such a thing of beauty. Moon Picnic’s A Dozen Bird Eggs set comprises a wicker basket filled with twelve lathe-turned wooden eggs of various sizes, hand-painted in different colours and designs to represent the infinite variety of bird’s eggs. We all know how much small people enjoy putting things in and taking them out of baskets, but the set also offers the opportunity to discuss ornithological matters, such as life cycles, migration and the importance of leaving real eggs and nests where they are. At £62, this is definitely an investment toy, but at least it will enhance, rather than detract from, stylish decor.
