Got the set on the right: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50087958

Ouch at the price but I'd love to get the ones on the left to go with it too!

**Monkey1** · 12-03-2009, 08:49 PM

**Twinkles** · 12-03-2009, 08:56 PM

True! Phrase most commonly uttered by me when were shopping earlier:

"Business expense!"

They look great - thanks Ali

Thanks, have been looking for something like that, and was hoping to go to Ikea this week-end, so will have a look!

it says not suitable for the under 3's, which most of ours are.

**beerheaven** · 12-03-2009, 10:58 PM

I have a set of these and the kids do love 'em!

I do agree about the price but they appear pretty robust.

Darn, didn't notice that!

I suppose they would be ok if we sat and used them in a supervised group, just to look at and talk about?

**Jules12Wed** · 13-03-2009, 11:04 AM

They look fab. Doesn't just about everything say not suitable for under 3's though.

True but it is a big insurance issue for us I suppose.

The thing we have to consider, as professional carers, is that if a child did choke or be injured on an item marked not suitable for their age, you could be held responsible.

It would need careful risk assessments don't you think?

I saw these in a magazine with the Sunday papers and was hoping to pursuade hubby to take me to Ikea this weekend. They look fab. I've also seen a globe filled with similar figures but its quite expensive.

**Alibali** · 13-03-2009, 01:38 PM

OH, I want some now!

**jibberjitz** · 16-03-2009, 08:29 PM

They look fab

**OrlandoBelle** · 16-03-2009, 08:35 PM

They're great!!! I want some now! Will tie in well with my Growing and Changing topic!

Will cost me £20 in petrol getting there though...plus I can't go in Ikea and spend under £100! Lol. I love it!

**helenlc** · 16-03-2009, 08:43 PM

I looked at these last time I was at Ikea. I have some Russian dolls that I actually bought in Russia any moons ago but I like the multi cultural range of these ones.

Damn - another trip to Ikea for me then!!!!
