Kay Bojesen Birthday Train.

The now renowned Kay Bojesen is best known for his fun wooden figures, but he also created toys that helped change the way children played.

At a time when children normally played at the table, Kay Bojesen made larger building blocks and also designed several trains and railways that allowed children to play on the floor. Inspired by an original Kay Bojesen train, this beautiful birthday train is of course for birthday celebrations, but also works perfectly as a decoration on your shelf. The three carriages are decorated with flags, colorful gifts, numbers, the little guard and a drum - all festive elements from Kay Bojesen's creations.

The birthday train also comes with original Kay Bojesen numbers 0-9 (2 x 1 number), which, like the flag, can be placed in different holes in the carriages, allowing you to create the desired combination (e.g. a date of birth) that you want.
