I was taking a walk on Seefeld yesterday, and I simply had to stop and check out this store. What…read moredrew me in were the beautiful wooden toy houses in several models, colors and sizes, but once I was in I could see there was so much more!
If you dread the current selection available at most toy stores, with all the plastic, loud sounds and battery operated garbage, you will find the selection available at Trottinette most refreshing. I was on my own, and I hadn't planned on doing any toy shopping (nor do I on most days, I tend to go for shoes and accessories... for myself), but this place... I literally had to fight the urge to sit on the floor and start playing, which is somewhat embarrassing to admit, but might give you an idea. I didn't know if I had landed in Wonderland or in Santa's workshop: all the beautiful wooden and fabric toys, clearly handmade... beautiful. If you know a little girl or boy who might like a toy house, this is without a doubt the best place to get it; it won't be cheap, but it will last for ages and it will be something they will keep coming back to, not get bored of quickly. There are tons of accessories and characters of all sorts for doll houses, and there are cars, wooden kitchens and food markets, musical instruments, drawing sets, beautiful pop-up books... If you have to shop for a child, you will definitely find something here.
One caveat: it might take you a lot longer to get your shopping done, because you will find yourself sticking around for a while, browsing and tryoung out some of the merchandise - I dare you not to!
