Three years, that’s a huge milestone for most children, defined by change and new adventures. Even the approach to play evolves. Kids become creators of their own stories — screenwriters, directors, and actors all in one. It’s still fun and games, but there are plots now, which is crucial for healthy development. Inventing, narrating, and staging help children develop their speech, vocabulary, and creativity. Moreover, it’s a way to process and regulate their emotions.
Exciting performances and fantastic stories call for a star-studded cast. No worries! They're already on their way. Who? The wooden birds from the KUTULU and PI-PI series. Vibrant-coloured, with smooth bellies and big personalities. They roll and swing, turn their heads around, and peck happily. Some are green, some are pink, yellow like the sun, blue just like the sea.
The HIPO horses are the birds’ best friends. They race on wheels, transport goods, always in a silly mood. They encourage both children and adults to let their imaginations run wild. Let’s give it a go! What happens when FLAVIO takes the graceful LABU for a spin? And if there were a bird Olympics, who do you think should win? The yellow POPI, KOS the blackbird, or HOLU the dove? Or all of the above?

At this time, three-year-olds are also acquiring knowledge that will come in handy in a few years at school. They are learning to recognise colours and shapes and solve simple problems: sorting, comparing sizes, and finding differences. They understand that if they build an uneven tower, it might fall. They are already planning a little and learning through trial and error. — My tower fell, but that’s OK. I’ll build another right away!
That’s why building sets are considered some of the best toys for children aged 3 and above. If we had to choose just one gift for a three-year-old from our product range, it would be the BRIKULO mini building set. It contains 26 colourful hand-painted pieces made of durable beech wood. The possibilities are endless. Sort and plan, dismantle and build. Improve coordination, train your imagination, and while you play — learn geometry along the way!
KUTULU are honest wooden toys designed and manufactured in the Czech Republic. All toys for kids aged 3 and up can be purchased right here in our e-shop. And if you would like to explore them in person, you can find selected items at our points of sale.
