Two Russian parents-to-be with their own backgrounds in graphic design and architecture started playing with the idea of healthy, stimulating toys and voila: the result is Shusha, a toy line created completely in Russia from natural wood and non-toxic paints. From building your own animals to decorating trees on which children can hang birds, fruit, or leaves, Shusha offers oodles of creative and visually-stimulating options for toddlers and older children. For little ones, there are balancing toys with owls and the moon and stars. Shusha’s toys combine bright colors with clever design sensibility that will draw children in, and they are so charming they could be displayed on a coffee table or mantel after end-of-day play.
