So, you’ve got a rainbow stacker and lots of wooden blocks all ready for open ended play……. But you need some little people to populate the little worlds your child is going to create! Look no further!!! Here’s our round up of the best and cutest wooden people that want to live in your play space!
FLOCKMEN
Part people, part building block – these little folk are just fab! They come completely blank, so can be whoever you want them to be, and can even be stained or coloured to create different skin tones, or even a rainbow! They stack fantastically – just right for acrobats! – and can become the structure or the person living in it! The challenge to stack them in multiple, complex ways is fun in itself, as well as them being brilliant little people! We have the Family Set, with 10 different sizes of person, but if you’re on a budget, a more affordable option is the Half Flock set, which has 16 same-sized Flockmen. Read our full review of the Flockmen Family Set here.
Flockmen are available with (nearly!) worldwide shipping here.
JOGUINES GRAPAT DARK NINS
Essential for adding diversity to your playroom inhabitants! These come in two sets of three, based on warm and cool colours, and are completely faceless, so brilliant for Waldorf inspired families. The cheapest set on this list, at around £10, they’re an absolute must-have for any playspace!
Warm Dark Nins and Cool Dark Nins can be found at Yes Bebe in the UK, and in Canada and the US here.

JOGUINES GRAPAT PALOS
Adorable little cone-shaped people, perfect for being anything from gnomes to wizards and witches! They come as a set of 18, and are a complete rainbow! There’s a bright, a pastel and a pale Palo for each colour, and each one has just two little eyes, to add to their cute factor! They’re just the right size for little hands to hold, and their unusual shape adds an extra dimension to play. And they’re seriously adorable! (Did I mention that already?!)
Palos can be found at Yes Bebe in the UK, and in Canada and the US here.

GRIMM’S FRIENDS
Classic rainbow peg dolls! They come as a set of 12, each with a different coloured body and hat, and match the Grimm’s 12 piece rainbow! Like the Nins, they’re completely faceless, so your child’s imagination can run wild! Our set is getting pretty old now, but they’re still as sturdy as ever, and haven’t lost a hint of colour. And as I understand it, new sets are now made from a range of different woods, to add a bit of diversity to the rainbow, which gets a huge thumbs up!
Grimm’s Friends can be found at Yes Bebe in the UK, and in Canada and the US here.
