We found this company very good, fairy.

ds has the woody click farm which he loves.

It's really good because you can add to it so if anyone is ever stuck for a birthday or christmas present, it's easy enough to give them a clue.

We got ours from our local Works book shop though, much cheaper.

All I can say is that my DS's like their farm but are a lot more interested in the tractors than the animals!

I like this company [http://www.woodentoysonline.co.uk/acatalog/Wooden_Castles_Forts_Farms.html here] Wooden Toys Online.

We have the one(Le Toy Van) Blith just linked to and it's a major pita as is huuuuuge,we have to store it on top of a cupboard. Also it wasn't fiddly enough iykwim. My sons also only really played with their tractors.

I soooo wish I'd got either the ELC or Playmobil one as both have a pulley(they would have loved) and book look far easier to store.

We've got some Playmobil farm stuff now which fits the one we've got so they play with it a lot more as it's more fiddly. DD loves it as we have the Playmobil chicken coup,rabbit hutch and farm family so she plays with it like a sort of dolls house.

I love Middlebrook Farm, here. Bad photo but great shop. Expensive but really lovely. No I my boys don't have it, sob.

DS has once from ELC and it has been great. Very easy to store, constructs again in minutes and the animals are great quality and actually stand up compared to cheaper versions.

There's usually a 20% code floating around for ELC to bring the price down too.
