OplaToys: Forest Gnome’s Secret Hideaway

€55,00

In the deep forests of Slovenia, countless magical secrets are hidden. The forests are home to magical folks and spirits who live in harmony with the seasons, aiding nature and all the creatures that reside there. Sometimes, during your forest walk, with the open heart of a child, you might catch a glimpse of one swiftly moving in the bushes as they try to hide from you! Otherwise it’s not so easy to find them! They are elusive creatures, crafting secret hideaways that blend seamlessly into the forest floor. Their homes resemble decaying wood covered in moss, and their tiny furniture could be mistaken for mushrooms.

Now you can take home a piece of the forest magic with you and create your own secret hideaway for your gnomes. Our set, part of the Secrets of the Forest collection, includes four organic stacking and building stones, three tiny mushrooms, one hollow mushroom, a beetle mobile, and a playful forest gnome. Each piece is designed to fit together in various creative ways, encouraging the creation of diverse small world scenarios. Enhance your play by incorporating additional natural materials and expanding the dimensions of the game. Let your imagination roam as you build, play and connect to our local fairytale heritage.

The toys of Primož Rojc are very distinct from any other toy in our offer – and that’s where their beauty lies also. They remind us of old, nostalgic toys made in the workshops of our grandfathers. They are made with heart, and also by hand, and the paints and finishes therefore are a bit more uneven, and a bit rougher. Each piece is unique, and we recommend it to people who appreciate handicrafts and homemade toys, and see value in their imperfections. By purchasing this toy you are also supporting a small Slovenian family workshop.
