The Wood Pigeon | Full of wooden toys
Hoogezand - Balance bikes, doll houses, swings, rocking horses and rocking cars: toy shop De Woudduif in Hoogezand is full of wooden toys. Sikko Geertsema has owned the shop for over 15 years and still enjoys everything in the shop every day. Wooden toys are incredibly fun. It feels warm and natural. And of course very durable, because what you buy here lasts for years. In the shop, you will find well-known brands such as Brio trains or Kapla planks. Wooden games such as chess and checkers are also available. Geertsema's personal favourite is a calendar in the shape of a mushroom.
JoMilly Vintage | Colourful, cheerful and vintage-style
Kolham - In the Kolham mill, Esmeralda Smith runs the shop JoMilly. Here you will find retro furniture, accessories but also toys with a hint of the old days. Among other things, they sell spinning tops, magnets, poetry pictures and bird whistles. Preferably toys that encourage children to play by themselves, to go outside and discover things. A pair of backward-looking glasses, for example, so you can play spy. Or a catapult, which is just a bit more fun than sitting behind a screen. For school, we have retro fruit or lunch boxes and cooler bags. Colourful, cheerful and in vintage style, just like the rest of the shop.
