Tender Leaf Toys Secret Meadow Shepherd's Hut - Merrywood Tales Mouse Family Play Set

A pull-along shepherd's hut where a family of mice have made a home from things people threw away.

Look closely and every piece has had another life. A teacup is the shower, spools of old thread are the stools, a sardine tin is the baby's cot and a pimenton tin is the wood burner. There's a safety pin for a towel rail and an old watch hanging up as the clock. The hut's lid lifts off, the wheels turn so it can be pulled along, and the steps come away. Three Merrywood mice and 15 pieces come in the set.

The Secret Meadow Shepherd's Hut won Gold for Best Toy Design (3 to 5 years) at the Junior Design Awards. It's the kind of set children come back to, spotting the borrowed objects and making up where the mice found them.
