This one gives you the farm: the barn, the house, the fence, the kennel, the tractor, an apple tree and a pear tree, and the farmer's wife to run the place. Which means a child isn't just sticking things on the fridge, they're laying out a scene and then telling you what's happening in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🚜 All twenty, in full\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHorse, sheep, dog in a kennel, rooster, rabbit, house, farmer's wife, goat, chicken, cat, a second horse, barn, pig, fence, duck, cow, apple tree, tractor, donkey and pear tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo horses is a nicer detail than it sounds — it means a pair rather than a single, and pairs are what young children reach for when they start making up stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🧲 The magnets are embedded in the wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth stating plainly, because it's the thing that matters most here. The magnets are set into the wood rather than glued to the back as loose discs. Swallowed magnets are a far more serious matter than an ordinary small part — more than one can cause real internal harm — so a set where the magnet is embedded rather than stuck on is the only kind we'd stock. This set is rated from 2 years and carries no under-threes warning on the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🧊 Where it actually lives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the fridge, at the height a two-year-old can reach, which is the quiet genius of a magnet set: it's a toy that occupies a child in the one room where you're trying to get something done. It also packs flat, weighs nothing, and goes in a bag for a long weekend at someone else's house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🎁 The gift it's actually best at\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a grandparent's toy, and we mean that as a compliment. It costs little, it lives on \u003cem\u003eyour\u003c\/em\u003e fridge rather than adding to the pile at home, it works for a two-year-old and equally for a four-year-old, and it gives you something to do together at the exact height a small person is standing. If you keep a box of things for when the grandchildren visit, this earns its place in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🇫🇷 Designed and imagined in France\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVilac have been making wooden toys from the Jura in eastern France since 1911.

Swallowed magnets are not an ordinary choking risk: two or more can attract through the gut and cause serious injury, which is why loose magnet discs are a genuine hazard. In this set the magnets are \u003cstrong\u003eembedded in the wood\u003c\/strong\u003e, not glued to the back, so there is no separate disc to come away. It's rated from 2 years and carries no under-threes warning. That said, twenty small wooden pieces and a crawling baby don't belong in the same room — this is a fridge-door toy at standing height, and if there's a baby in the house it wants putting away at the end rather than left on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill they stick to my fridge?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMost fridge doors are steel and will hold them. Some aren't — a few stainless finishes and most integrated or clad doors won't take a magnet at all. Worth testing with any magnet you already own before you buy, and if yours is one of the non-magnetic sort, a steel baking tray propped on a shelf does the job surprisingly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's actually in the twenty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThirteen animals (horse, sheep, dog in its kennel, rooster, rabbit, goat, chicken, cat, a second horse, pig, duck, cow and donkey), the farmer's wife, and the setting: house, barn, fence, tractor, apple tree and pear tree. It's the buildings and the fence that turn it from a collection into a farm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it just a fridge toy?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMostly, but not only — they work on any steel surface, and plenty of people use a baking tray as a portable farm for the car or a cafe table. They're wooden pieces first and magnets second, so they get played with off the fridge too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSurface wash only — a damp cloth, and don't soak them. Wood and water are a poor combination, and these are small enough to warp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🔍 More farm, and more magnets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/chunky-wooden-farm-puzzle\"\u003eChunky Wooden Farm Puzzle\u003c\/a\u003e — seven standing farm animals from 1 year, so it works for a younger sibling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/touch-feel-puzzle-farm-animals\"\u003eTouch \u0026amp; Feel Puzzle — Farm Animals\u003c\/a\u003e — a simpler farm puzzle for smaller hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe whole \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jumini-farm\"\u003eJumini Farm range\u003c\/a\u003e — a chicken coop, a pig sty, dominoes and more, if the farm theme has taken hold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/wooden-magnetic-drawing-board\"\u003eWooden Magnetic Drawing Board\u003c\/a\u003e — the other magnetic toy we sell, for drawing rather than scene-building\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e❤️ From our family to yours\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarefully chosen products for babies, toddlers and parents.
