Toddler Playroom Tour - Open Ended Toys

[@artinsanity7200]

This playroom is goals, we have to much plastic toys, and i would love to get more wooden and montessori toys whenever possible. I love the look and all the possibilitys.

[@sparrow_mae]

I love this idea of all wooden toys that are so versatile, when I was younger I had a load of doll houses and dolls and cars. This seems such a fun area to play in, I sure even now at 15 I could find entertainment for hours.

[@fatalfred]

Love your Ostheimer collection!. Ive compared Ostheimer with Holztiger online and I will soon start my very own Ostheimer animal collection for my daughter who is 9 months. I would love to hear your story (possibly another video) on the choice to go with Ostheimer vs Holztiger (although, I did see dinosaurs) and how long you started collecting and hear your children preferences on pieces etc.

[@roskorabbit1763]

Such a lovely collection, thanks for sharing it with us. We have a Bunny Burrow coming from YesBebe, can’t wait! Particularly liked the photos you inserted of the various setups.

[@DianaMcNeill]

I was a bit cheeky with the burrow and was lucky enough to get mine a bit earlier 🙈. Perks of being so close to Coventry and seeing Charlotte 😅😬.

[@F150-y3y]

We live in the US...how do you afford these toys

[@Carazona]

Omg I was just watching your older toy collection /tour and thinking that I should comment and ask you to do an updated one and then I finished the video and this one had been posted! Yay! Love your videos and the types of toys you have for Riley!! So inspiring!!

[@DianaMcNeill]

Thank you...I only just fell into the rabbit hole of these toys about a year and a half ago 😳🙈. It’s been great though and I really find it nicer to have them around then to be surrounded by all the plastic and lights and sounds. It’s hard to explain but it doesn’t stress me out the same - so I can only imagine the impact the difference makes for Riley as well 🤗

[@Carazona]

Attached Mummy absolutely know what you mean. I have a brand new 3 year old as of 2 weeks ago, and a 20 month old and honestly they play so much better and for longer now and seem to love the wooden/open ended way more! I wish I had started it when they were babies. They’re also beautiful and will last long enough for their kids to have!

[@gracex592]

Would love to see the downstairs play things!! X

[@DianaMcNeill]

I definitely will do it - I promise 💕. Just got a new camera for my birthday as well so no more horrible quality from using my phone!

[@Arekitesh]

Thanks for making this video. My wife and I are now investing in some wooden toys for our 19-month old. Unfortunately many of your links are now broken/obsolete. Do you have any other tips on how to find the "Girl In The Wind" figure?

[@zaurekassenova204]

OMG.So beautiful.She is so lucky ☺

[@DianaMcNeill]

Thank you 😊. She’s a good kid and all the toys bring me happiness as well 😬😬😬.

[@lovertanuki8850]

Hi it look amazing Which brand is the wooden blocks? (14:29) Sorry I couldn’t find it on your description 😅

[@Barnicles]

Love it. Just watched your older playroom tour. Where is the shelf for your animals from? Love the different ways you have used it.

[@DianaMcNeill]

Thank you, the shelf actually came with my daughters play stand, brand is bio-kinder but it’s very similar to a slim shelf on it’s side (think bathroom shelving or even maybe a DVD shelf...). Would probably even be easy to make something similar 🤗

[@LoveRachelXOXOXO]

Gorgeous!

[@DianaMcNeill]

Thank you 🤗

[@annashoaran9139]

What brand is those amazing wooden numbers? Where did you get them? Amazing toy collection btw!

[@DianaMcNeill]

The wooden numbers are called SumBlox - I bought mine at yesbebe.co.uk 🤗

[@ellewonderbeast]

Where are you shelves from? The ones above the Ikea storage units. You have her wooden animals showcased in them.. Thanks so much! 😚

[@DianaMcNeill]

Hi! It’s actually a piece that goes with our playstand - the brand is bio kinder and it’s called the shop element for Anna shelves.

[@aaartsygal]

Please what is the brand of the xylophone? Thank you

[@Carazona]

Also can you tell me more about where to find the Bryn Dubois (spelling?) toys? I googled and can’t seem to find them.

[@DianaMcNeill]

It’s Brin d’Bois - a French brand 🤗. I’m in the U.K., so I buy from yesbebe.co.uk but not sure where to purchase elsewhere (they do ship worldwide, but depends where you are from if something else may be easier for you 🤗)

[@Carazona]

Attached Mummy thanks, I’ll look for them! Also I’m sahmsquad in instagram. I think you follow me on there. (Which felt like a celebrity followed me when that happened! Haha!)

[@elenahajda9817]

Beautiful ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@DianaMcNeill]

Thank you 😊

[@readingwithizza7710]

Awesome collection. I wish I could have these toys for my baby. 🙁😔

[@dexterkyro]

Could you please post a list of toy brands please?

[@DianaMcNeill]

Hi sorry for the late response, but I’ve added a list in the description - let me know if I’ve missed something you were interested in 💕

[@ideasmontessoriywaldorfmon676]

great video

[@lizplathe9125]

Now I'm drooling over Brin d bois 😊😍

[@DianaMcNeill]

It’s gorgeous...and you have such a large space to fill 😇🤪. I want more but it is a bit pricier that’s why it’s just the random few pieces.

[@F150-y3y]

Hello I live in a small apartment 850sq ft I also have three children and one on the way. My son has his own room and my three girl will share a room together. I have wanted to follow Montessori and Waldorf since my oldest was a toddler however I stopped pursuing becausethe toys are expensive. My kids are 6,4,2, and one die next month. I realize I need to bring my kids toys out because they are hidden in their toy bins

[@nupur24nigam]

Awesome

[@LearnandPlayEveryday]

Do you know of a place online that sells that mosaic spinning top puzzle to the US? My son saw that in your video and keeps asking about it ☺️ and love the Amigurumi turtle. I make them too...I love to crochet! I’ve basically made a zoo for my son 😂

[@DianaMcNeill]

I’m honestly not sure - yesbebe.co.uk does ship to the US but you would have to message them for a shipping quote as I have no idea what it would be. If you wanted to have search online for a US seller it’s by Grimms and called a Goethe Top (the confusing bit is that different online stores call it different things - I think because they are all translating from German 🤷🏻‍♀️)

[@misssteph6584]

An online store www.thewoodenwagon.com has it in black/white but sold out on the colored one. Im hoping to get one for my son as well

[@chezaraewaltman6452]

Could you post the brand names of your toys

[@DianaMcNeill]

Hi sorry for the late response, but I’ve added a list in the description - let me know if I’ve missed something you were interested in 💕

[@elizabethcostello6724]

Who makes the spinning top please?

[@DianaMcNeill]

It’s by Grimm’s - called a Goethe circle 🤗

[@elizabethcostello6724]

Thank you 🙂

[@leannecabral3069]

Sorry if this was already asked where are the shelves form?

[@DianaMcNeill]

The main ones the toys are stored in are from Ikea (called trofast) the bookshelf was a bespoke piece we were lucky to come across second hand 🤗

[@ronsraf1166]

Lucky girl ;-)

[@DianaMcNeill]

Aw thank you, she is but I do think I am even luckier to have her 😬🤗

[@dianel9667]

I remember when I was in denial about my toy collection. When they get to 10 though you’re cover gets blown. Might as well come clean now girlfriend.

[@DianaMcNeill]

Lol I am very aware that many of her toys are as much for me as for her. Honestly she is more then happy with plastic toys but I try and avoid them (even second hand) as they bring a feeling of chaos into the house that I don’t feel with the wooden toys (totally a mental thing for me 😅). I’ve said many time’s that her Ostheimer collection is mine when she grows up 🤣.

[@SameShirtDifferentDay]

It's too excessive for one kid. I don't mean to criticize, and I absolutely loveee your collection/and attunement to play. But having the maximum amount of minimalist toys completely defeats the purpose. Maybe if you had your own she-shed where you could rotate most of these out, so your daughter could get efficient use out of them, but in the end I don't see one child really loving these gorgeous pieces as much as she could if she has so many.
