A question from Tricia, Peter and Poppy from San Francisco. Tricia writes: My husband and i were at a local mall where they have a family lounge area. In the middle of said lounge area is a cool, simple wooden activity table for kids to play with. Our 5 month old daughter Poppy loved it!

We'd love to find something similar for her to have at home. We looked underneath the table for a clue as to who made the table, but saw no indication or label anywhere.
aphoto of part of the table is pictured above. Anyone know where to find something like this out there, perhaps somewhere online? :)
It's round and the bits of the table fit together like puzzle pieces. Each of the pieces has little things for the kids to play with, like bead mazes, an abacus (see photo), etc.
We like it because it is simple and modern-looking, not overwhelmingly garish or plastic-y.
Can anyone help?
Let Tricia know if you've seen this table or something similar available for sale....thanks!

We have a wooden play cube for our daughter. It isn't spread out like the one you show, but it's has some similar features on its four sides and top. It is a lot of fun.
It's by Parents and we got it at Target. Here's the link for the one we have:

I also saw this one on the website:

My son loves that table at the San Francisco centre as well. It is made by a company called Anatex. Here is the link to it on Amazon.

Great post. I love wooden toys for children. My one year old loves these.
