The Brand: Djeco is a Paris-based family business that started out quite small. Véronique Michel-Dalès founded the brand in the 1950’s and passed it on to her son, Frédéric, who is still running it today. Each product can take up to a year to travel from the design board to the shelves with rigorous quality testing. Using talented French illustrators, Djeco creates interesting and magical games and toys that rustle up imagination and creativity.

Description: We have long loved Djeco for their quality and inventiveness. There is no other line that makes such consistently well-designed and well-loved toys and games. The perfect size for small hands, this Bird Whistle makes a delightful (not too loud) sound. It is a great gift for a child who is just starting to learn about musical instruments and auditory cause and effect.

Details: 4 x 1 1/2 x 4 inches, FSC wood, plastic mouth piece, makes whistling sound not unlike a quiet recorder, 3+ years old

A Note From Erika: I’m a collector of all things bird so this is one of my favorites just because. And I love the colors! He stands nicely so you can have him right out on the shelf.
