Mentari: My First Radio

Twist the dial, slide the knob, press the button — busy hands, busy mind.

Wooden My First Radio is a retro-styled busy board in the form of a sweet little radio — and it's exactly the kind of toy a 12-month-old can't resist. The front features a spinning dial with illustrations, a clacking face button, and a sliding red knob to push back and forth. Flip it over and there's more to explore: a mirror, and a blue flap that opens to reveal two illustrated batteries. Along the top, an elasticated knob and another push button complete the busy board experience.

It's a brilliant first introduction to cause and effect — every element does something different, rewarding curious fingers with movement, sound, or a satisfying click. The retro design also makes it one of the more visually charming toys in the range, and the compact size means it's a perfect travel toy or pushchair companion.

Skills & development:

• Cause and effect - every element does something different, building foundational early reasoning
• Fine motor skills - spinning, sliding, pushing, and pressing builds hand strength and precision
• Sensory play - varied textures, movements, and the mirror provide rich multi-sensory stimulation
• Cognitive development - exploring what each element does builds early problem-solving
