Drop it in. Spin it round. Try it again.
Carousel is made for babies and toddlers who love to repeat. Drop, spin, reach, tip. With every turn, something new happens—and little ones want to go again.
Inspired by real toddler play, Carousel captures the fascination children have with dropping things, spinning objects, and testing what fits where. It’s a simple setup with endless possibilities for trial and error.
Voted best toys for toddlers 2025!
The 1curiosity toy range has been recognised as the most popular toy of 2025, winning Gold at the Independent Toy Awards, Gold in the Absolutely Mama Toy Awards, and the Junior Design Awards 2025 for Best Toy Design (0–2 Years).
Designed for cause and effect learning
The central drum spins with a light touch and has multiple openings. Some are wide. Some are small. Toddlers learn quickly which pieces fit where—and which ones bounce back out. That moment of “I did it!” keeps them coming back.
Drop, rotate, tip and pour
The open-ended design encourages children to explore how things move. Drop a ball through a hole, turn the drum, then pour it out the side. Or just spin it for the fun of it. It’s a full-body invitation to explore motion and rhythm.
Imperfect shapes for perfect play
Like all 1curiosity toys, the pieces are abstract but familiar. One might look a bit like a berry, a cup or an egg. That’s intentional. When toddlers aren’t told what something is, they use their imagination to decide.
Works with Nook and Lantern
Carousel is part of the 1curiosity series. All the pieces from Nook, Lantern and Carousel can be used together for even more ways to sort, stack, mix and discover.
Safe, durable and made to explore
All pieces are sized for little hands and made from safe materials like soft silicone, smooth plastic and stainless steel. The textures are satisfying to touch and safe to chew. No flashing lights, no batteries, no right or wrong way to play.
For the stage between baby toys and puzzles
Carousel is ideal for children aged 10 to 24 months who are starting to explore but don’t need structured learning yet. It offers a space to try, test and repeat—without needing help or instruction.
Designed in Japan
