What about making one? An offcut of fake grass (glued to a board if you want something more solid)A mirror or cardboard covered with foil for a pond. Make fences and buildings out of Lego which can be rebuilt into a zoo for a bit of variety.Then relatives just need to give animals or Lego. When the farm is outgrown the Lego will still have endless possibilities. Grandfathers are usually very good at these things. I remember my Dad made one for me as a child and I still treasure the thought of him taking the time to do this for me.

We have a Waldorf/Steiner wooden farm set. It was mine when I was little and has since spent 20 years travelling down my family. I know they are hard to find but you can find similar on Etsy or eBay, quite an expensive thing to build up and collect considering you can buy full sets in ELC and such but the quality of handmade is second to none. Really solid wooden structures, hand crafted and finished. I think things like wooden toys are great to pass down to other family members or your children's children as has happened with us, every child loves a toy farm!


Plan toys also do lovely sets, although once again hard to come across. Check this out though, tempted by it myself! I'm sure they do/did a farm set too. Yet again excellent build quality.

Schliech do a farm, I love their figures as they are super robust, endless (seemingly) animals to add so can encompass any changing preferences, and they are solid so can go in water regularly without going mouldy so good for bath/paddling pool/bucket of water etc...

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
