Little Llama
This Singapore-based online-only shop quickly caught our eye as the exclusive distributor of award-winning Swiss toy designer MOLUK (be sure to check out the innovative “Bilibo“, named 2010 toy of the year!). If you’re not sure what the Bilibo is – let your kids show you! This open-ended toy sets children’s imagination free – they can spin on it, sit on it, stack it, rock on it, use it for pretend play – there is really no limit to what this toy can represent.
The Little Llama toy shop is all about encouraging child-directed, open-ended play, and to that end, they’ve curated the best expert-recommended books and toys to support early learning and discovery.

We’re particularly besotted with their gorgeous dollhouses, intricate train sets, and handmade puppets.

So it’s not our favourite place with the loud music and assorted blasts and blaring sirens, but chances are if you’re looking for mainstream name brands, you’ll find it at this global behemoth, and probably at a good price, too.
