It’s day eighteen of Prizeapalooza and we’re ramping up the fun factor – with a slice of Melbourne’s history up for grabs.
There’s everything to love about today’s prize from the cheeky folk at Monkey Caboose – it’s the most alluring form of public transport I’ve ever seen – a Make Me Iconic Melbourne toy tram, valued at $90.
Finished in the authentic colours that grace Melbourne’s W-class trams, the wooden Make Me Iconic toy tram only diverts from the original slightly, in that it has wheels to make it easily moveable. Inside are twelve wooden passengers and two conductors, who adhere to a strict timetable from their cabins at either end of the tram.
The lid of the toy tram comes off, giving easy access for little hands. Measuring a generous thirty-five centimetres, it’s a showpiece for any toy collection and is recommended for children over three years.

We would love the Melbourne tram in our family. Today we head back home to Canberra after spending a week in Melbourne on our ‘Family Honeymoon’ after getting married last weekend. Our two year old son Tom just loves the trams and he will be sad when he realizes he will be in the car for 7 hours today, and not on the tram!
My little boy would love to win this…
& it is his first birthday in 2 weeks so what perfect timing. PLEASE Babyology, give my little boy this awesome gift for his birthday…
I adore this tram. It’s a toy that would be treasured for years and become an heirloom piece My friend’s daughter has one and when we visit, it’s the first thing my 17 month old son plays with. For these reasons it would be my first choice from Monkey Caboose.
Next I chose the Sydney ferry for the same reasons and then the storage and wall organisers as they are so cute!!
Having just moved to Sydney from melbourne i’m sure Carter would love one of these icons from the city of his birth.
I’d have to include this Tram in my top 3 along with the Flatout Frankie Plane & the Seagull Ceiling Light.
1) The beautiful Melbourne Tram
2) Le Toy London bus
3) Flatout Frankie little cook oven
It’s hard to just pick a top three. The Sydney Ferry is so sweet too, but as a Melbournian I’m going with the tram!
They havE some very cool stuff, I love the flatout range, especially the plane. The le toy range is also so clever, in particular the house playmat, I haven’t seen anything like that anywhere else. And of course the iconic ferry that matches that cool tram is very special to this Sydney girl. Love it!!! Peta La Motte
My top three are most definitely the Make Me Iconic Melbourne Toy Tram (I’ve loved this forEVER!), the cheeky monkeys in the Rosemonde Et Michel Coudert Monkey Ceiling Light in blue for my boys, and speaking of them, my last pick would have to be the gorgeous Tiger Tree Gold Pearls in a Pod Necklace. Stunning! X
Tiger Tree Gold Pearls in a Pod Necklace, the Flatout Frankie Little Cook Oven and the Junior Masterchef Cake Mini Kit Age 3+!! so many amazing items on this page!
Love the tram, and then my kids would be able to recognise it when we see one! We would also love a Flatout Frankie oven, we have wanted one of these since Babyology featured them in 2011. And finally the Silver Tree necklace for me!
I’ve had my eye on this tram for ages – just can’t decide who to gift it to, my 5year old son or my 36 year old brother! So the tram would be my favourite item on the Monkey Caboose website. Second, I’d love one of the cute lunch bags (pre-historic pals!) and third, a super cute Fox Storage Bin (because you can never have enough storage!).
The handmade pudgy rattles are super super cute, living in Sydney the wooden ferry would suit and the owl three sprouts caddy would be such a hoot!
My top three are the: Uncle Goose Multicolour Bugs ABC Block Set, Le Toy Van Farm Playmat and the Wall Decors Bright Tree! I love all of these as they are unisex and will see our daughter through her early childhood and fingers crossed for our future son as well :)
I’ve loved this tram since seeing it at a design fair a few years ago. My little boy gets crazy excited when we go on a tram so he’d just love this. And what a beautiful thing to keep for future Melbournian generations of the family
The flat out Frankie aeroplane would provide hours of enjoyment (straight out of the box) and I can’t go past the Make Me Iconic Melbourne tram and Sydney Ferry. It’s so rare to toys that are iconically Australian (except fortune a stuffed kangaroo or koala). I love the quirkiness of them, plus the little Miss is a water babe and Master 1 loves anything with wheels (just don’t tell him trams don’t go vrooom!!)
1)Rosemonde Et Michel Coudert Bi-plane Ceiling Light – Blue
2)Make Me Iconic Wooden Melbourne Tram
3)Dandelion Handmade Roly Poly Rattle – Cow
My goodness those roly poly rattles are adorable!
1. Make Me Iconic Melbourne toy tram.
2. Make Me Iconic wooden Sydney ferry.
3. Uncle Goose Baby decorative blocks
Love.
Love.
Love.
1) The Minkie Mary The Dummy Fairy Book, hopefully she may pay us a visit and rid us of all the dreaded dummies!
2) A Junior Masterchef Cake Mini Kit for my budding chefs who love a good cupcake!
3) The CozyPlush Microwaveable Monkey to keep my cheeky monkeys warm in this chilly Melbourne weather!
Aside from the tram, which is amazing, I love the Make Me Iconic Sydney Ferry & may have to invest in that one! I also adore the little mushroom-shaped baby rattle & the toy storage bin with the kangaroo on it. I love seeing great stylish Australia-centric products.
Kingsley, Marshmellow Rose and Twinkle are the three delightful handmade owls I can just imagine sitting nicely in my child’s room.
Monkey Caboose helps me play
With my ‘Melbourne toy tram’ all the day
Me and my ‘Handmade Owl – Kingsley’
Read the ‘Alphabet Print’ quickly
Before dreaming the whole night away.
1. The Sydney ferry to go with the Melbourne tram. My husband is from Melbourne before we married so to see our three kids playing with a bit of each city would be gorgeous
2. Junior Masterchef Cookie Mini Kit for my budding chef who LOVES Masterchef
3. 3 Sprouts Caddy in Pig to put all my babies soft toy collection that she loves in one spot.
We have toys galore,
my girls really don’t need anymore!
What we don’t have is any space,
some storage is a must in our place!
Monkey Caboose has it all, from the caddy to the storage bin and box,
my only problem is which to choose the owl or the fox!
Wooden Sydney Ferry, Melbourne Tram and Seagull Ceiling light so we can capture some good old fashioned Aussie wonders that we can play with whilst a crazy bird flys in the sky!
My 19 month old boisterous boy loves all things that go, so transport’s our theme! My top three are the Melbourne Tram, the Sydney Ferry and the London Bus.
Kate Crocker
We love:
Le Toy Van London Bus as we lived in London for a few years
Make me Iconic Melbourne Tram as we now live in Melbourne
Make me Iconic Munchies puzzle
My favourites would be the Le Toy Van London Bus, Haba Doctor case, and Flatout Frankie Oven. Pretend play is the best!
The Melbourne tram becuase he loves all things that make noise (ting -ting), the London Bus to remind me of the years we spent there falling in love enough to come home and make our family with our little man and the Flat Out Frankie airplane because plane was one of his first words and he still runs outside to point everytime he hears one overhead!
1. Haba Doctor Case- for my up and coming GP
2. 3 Sprouts Caddy (Mouse)- for all those bits and bobs that never seem to have a home
3.Fussenegger Owl & Pear Pram/Bassinet Blanket- perfect snuggling material for winter.
Playroom Rules Canvas (for a “sense” of order!), Pink Tooth Fairy Pillow (to steer the tooth fairy in the right direction) and Red Owl Hair Clip Board (to stop Daddy misplacing our cherub’s clips!)
Sorry Typo in above entry, so please disregard – I meant to say:
“Big Red London Bus, Black Mini Cab and Sydney Ferry as Daddy is a Pommie and wants to give our half Aussie/half English bubba a taste of his beloved homeland, and the Ferry so he can remember his Aussie roots too! Multiculturalism at it’s best!”
My top 3 would have to be the London bus, iconic tram and ferry.
I am always on the lookout for toys that my transport boys would love, but that I can also take to work and use as part of trauma play therapy for children who have/are experiencing domestic violence. The Iconic Tram would be perfect for this
Not including the gorgeous tram my top 3 would be:
1. The gorgeous fairy light to decorate the nursery.
2. Have to have the hooded towel with the chicken on it to keep her warm and dry in the cold Melbourne winter.
3.The babyink colour inkless printing kit, to send prints off to our little girl’s overseas aunts and uncles.
“Frankie Little Aeroplane” for my young pilot to take off in the skies, “Little Cook Oven” for my other budding chef to cook up a storm and “Make Me Iconic Munchies” for some tasty treats to share!
From my son Max:
The Sydney wooden ferry as that is where i live and i catch the ferry all the time.
The wonder wall mini black cab as that is where my Mum and Dad met.
The cozyplush microwaveable cos as my name is Max the Moo and so I like to surround myself with that Moo!
Love love this tram.. have been waiting one for my sons upcoming 4th birthday. Anything wooden is a hit in this house!
The tram would have to be included in my top three along with the flatout frankie little cook oven and the 3 sprouts storage bin – fox. Foxes are the best :)
My three would be:
1. The Melbourne tram (my hubby and 2 of my boys are Melbourne born and bred… We now live in Sydney and they miss Melbourne so much)
2. The Sydney ferry (one of my boys and myself are Sydney born and bred… Which makes the arguments of which city is the best exciting… With these 2 toys we could have toy mascots :)
3. The tiger tree bird necklace… It reminds me of the ”blue bird’ jewellery I was given as a baby… Am I showing my age ???
My top three for my 2 boys would be
1. Any of the make me iconic range (my dad would get a kick out of seeing the kids playing with a Melbourne tram though because he grew up there)
2. Flat out frankie plane (I wish I had the patience to make things out of cardboard boxes but I don’t. I had no idea you could buy them ready made!!)
3. any of the 3 sprouts organiser range – they are awesome!
A hard choice, but if I had to pick…
1. Make Me Iconic Tram
2. Any of the Daid Fusseeger blankets
3. Esthex Mr Morris Musical Fox :)
My top 3 Monkey Caboose products would have to be:
1) ALL of the snuggly David Fussenegger blankets (owl and pear would have to be my fave!)
2) Flatout Frankie cardboard aeroplane (just gave one of these to a friend’s little boy for his first birthday, so cool!)
3) 3 sprouts walrus hooded towel – funny and cute!
And of course the Melbourne tram is up there!(;
I love the Le Toy London bus, as my daughter loves cars, buses, trains and trucks! It also reminds me of my youth, having spent time in London. The tram is divine and thirdly the 3 sprouts storage bins. Such beautiful designs, and the perfect item to store the tram if we win ;)
I have to say I love these products!
1. A Melbourne girl at heart, I have to go with the Melbourne Tram
2. Flatout Frankie cardboard aeroplane
3. London Bus
My top three Monkey Caboose products are based on my sons interests.
1)Make me Iconic Tram – I can see my toddler spending hours playing with this. He loves EVERYTHING with wheels!
2)Make Me Iconic Munchies Jigsaw – Two of my son’s other loves in life morphed in one; food and puzzles.
3)Uncle Goose Multicolour Bugs ABC Block Set – My son loves to learn and build with blocks! :)
My top three products from Monkey Caboose are the London Bus, Melbourne Tram and Sydney Ferry. They would make the perfect centre pieces for the retro transport themed room I’m decorating for my little boy!
Lunch punch critters sandwich cutters, Le Toy Van Farm Playmat & the Melbourne Tram are all fantastic! They are our top three!
1. 3 Sprouts Caddy – mouse
2. 3 Sprouts Storage Bin – bear
3. Melbourne Tram
Gorgeous shop!
1. Make Me Iconic Melbourne Tram – So funky, Australian and our boy can imagine Nana catching it each day.
2. Le Toy Van London – We can tell him how we lives there and caught the bus to work (nevermind how mummy always mised her stop!)
3. Flatout Frankie Aeroplane – So he can pretend he’s going to those places (and more!) for a holiday!
We live in the bush up on Cape York and the tram is a great way to remember our trip to Melbourne where the girls were astounded there was more than one road into and out of town – it’s such a beautiful toy!

2. Make Me Iconic Wooden Sydney Ferry
3. Flatout Frankie Little Aeroplane
Cars, trams, trains, buses, planes, boats, ferries, ships, bikes, scooters, skateboards, taxis anything with a motor or wheels provide hours of imaginative fun and play for my grandsons. And to travel on them is so exciting.

Oh it would have to be the Make Me Iconic Wooden Melbourne Tram! We are only living in Australia (Melbourne) for a few years; this would be such a wonderful piece of memorabilia for our little one to take back to Canada with her. Secondly, the Esthex Denim Peter Fly Rattle is just too cute for words. Finally, we love the Haba Miniland so many places for little hands to discover the world!
Our family is from Melbourne & so love this tram. So many great things on the website but love the Sydney Ferry, the little SugarBooger Kiddie Play Packs & the range of 3 sprouts toy storage boxes.
Ok to choose 3 is always hard :)
I do love the Melbourne Tram to be honest, so iconic and I really to prefer wooden or natural toys for my two children :) Also love the Kate Finn Lil Doll, very cute. And lastly, the playroom rules canvas, I have always wanted one of those for our house! Thank you!
My favourite 3 are:
Flat out frankie little cook oven for my junior master chef, love the fact I can slide it under her bed when she’s not playing with it
3 sprout caddy – mouse, perfect for our trips to the library when we need to be ‘as quiet as a one’

The Haba doctor case, perfect for looking after the growing number of softies living in our home!
The Breganwood organics playful fox towel, this is seriously the most adorable towel I have ever seen!
The Haba Arranging Game Quadrillo, my two puzzle loving girls would love this game!

Handmade Owl- Kingsley, Monkey Caboose Cushion – Chocolate Giraffes on White and Monkey Caboose Wall Art – Red Owls are all super as well as the iconicMelbourne tram!
Of course the Tram. I am a patriotic Victorian. I also love the Allergy Riders food flags and baking cups for hosting parties (so no-one steals my gluten free goodies) and the Lunch Punch sandwich cutters for making lunchtime sandwiches more enticing.
1 Haba toys are the best quality and I love the animal upon animal stacking game for Master 4 years and Miss 6 months
2 SugarBooger Bath learning shapes alphabet for Master 4 years
3 handmade Owl in marshmallow rose for Miss 6 months
Being a Melbourne girl thru and thru I plan to buy the Make me iconic tram for my house and another for my sister who has moved and lives in Germany. If I win I need buy just the one tram!
My favourite items is the Melbourne Tram as my boy’s grandparents (my mum & dad) live there (we are in WA). They know that Granny & Poppy are in Melbourne where the trams are. This would be lovely to remind them constantly about Granny & Poppy in Melbourne. Also really like the Le Toy Van Farm Playmat and the Flatout Frankie Little Aeroplane too. Such gorgeous items in this store. Really crossing my fingers for this one!

2.the Playroom Rules Canvas – defiantly way to cool for school
and 3rd favorite is the funky Giraffe Height Chart, which not only super cool but i love it even more as i can still fit on it!!
Make me iconic wooden Sydney ferry, make me iconic wooden Melbourne tram and Le toy van London bus as these toys differ from the norm and are a great way to educate my little ones!
My top three products are:
1) Make Me Iconic Wooden Melbourne Tram – reminds me of the annual trips to Melbourne I would have with my sister before I had children,
2)Toosh Coosh Booster Seat – perfect for allowing my toddler to sit easily at the table with his older brothers
3)Flatout Frankie Little Aeroplane – because it combines my boys love of planes, building and have fun flying around the house :)

2. Kate Finn Dotty Horse Rattle – so cute for my little boy on the way
3. Lunch Punch Critters Sandwich Cutters – I think the kids would love having their lunch in shapes!
The Make Me Iconic Melbourne tram, because Miss 3 thinks trams are a marvel (“Look Mum – the train’s on the road!!!”), the Rosemonde et Michel Coudert angel ceiling light, because angels look after us at night, and the SugarBooger lunch sack range. Just because I giggle every time I hear the word “SugarBooger”.
The Make Me Iconic Tram (perfect present for little Miss who turns 2 this week!), the Flatout Frankie Little Aeroplane and the Haba Shapes and Colours. She needs puzzles!!
Besides the Melbourne Tram (which by the way is “super cool” according to my 3 year old, after I showed him the pic), my boys would love the Le Toy Van London Bus because it is such a beautiful toy that would last for generations to comeand be cherished by all. Also loving the Flatout Frankie Little Aeroplane as they are both obsessed with planes and imaginative play at the moment (i love that it folds flat for storage) and you couldn’t go past the Sugarbooger Prehistoric play pack which would be perfect for my little man off to kinder next year. All gorgeous toys at Monkey Caboose!
Rosemonde Et Michel Coudert ceiling lights are whimsical, imaginative, simply stunning – I adore the plane, the kite and the angel.
It’s so hard to choose such wonderful things …..
Being Sydney born and am in love with our piece of city life . I would have to say
1. Iconic Sydney Ferry
Who couldn’t eat sandwiches in these fantastic fun cut outs ….. Food is ment to be fun and enjoyed
2. Lunch punch VrrRRMM! Transport set
I want one , can just imagine flying around my room pretending I was off to far and away adventures.
3. Flat out Frankie little areoplane
What wonderful things where will I start
Being in love with my home town of Sydney I would have to say
1. Iconic Sydney Ferry
Who could resist eating yummy sandwiches in these shapes
2. Lunch punch VrrRRMM! Transport set
I would love to whizz around my room pretending to go to far away places
3. Flat out Frankie little areoplane
The three top choices would be the Tram (my baby’s father is from Melbourne), the Ferry (I am from Sydney) and the Aeroplane (so my baby can imagine being anywhere in the world).

At Monkey Caboose
There is so much to choose!
My favourite 3?
Well let me see…..
Anything with wheels is a hit with my boy,
So the first i would choose is the Melbourne Tram toy.
The second would be the Wall Decors Train,
The third, for mum….a Tiger Tree Chain!
The first two I would choose is the Flatout Frankie Little Aeroplane and the Rosemonde Et Michel Coudert Bi-plane Ceiling Light in Blue. My daughter had her Commercial License and was working toward a Night Rating, when she fell pregnant. She flew into her 2nd trimester (remarking that my Grandson was active at the more stressful times: take- offs and landings) and since giving it up, she’s taken to seeking out aviation related toys and clothing. My last choice would be a Babymoov Travel Bottle Warmer. It would be more convenient instead of the big backpack or mini esky that gets lugged around.
Well I love the tram, the Flat pack oven and Haba Bingo animal games
Gosh, could spend waaaay too long on the Monkey Caboose website! Top three picks today would have to be the Toosh Coosh Booster Seat, the Le Toy Van Farm Playmat and the AGE HiLo Chair. Of course, I may have changed my mind again by tomorrow!!
Love the Dandelion Handmade Roly Poly Rattle – Ladybug, Rosemonde Et Michel Coudert Butterfly Ceiling Light – Lilac/Pink and the Melbourne Tram :)
Hard to decide, but loved these

REALLY LOVE Make Me Iconic Wooden Melbourne Tram, AGE HiLo Chair in Raspberry and 3 Sprouts Hanging Wall Organiser – Penguin!

2. 3 Sprouts Hooded Elephant Towel
3. Esthex Blue Hendrick Musical Owl
my top 3 for my 2 children are :

Since before getting pregnant the Make Me Iconic Tram was high on my list of toys to buy. I do not drive so the tram is my mode of transport, I’m looking forward to taking my bub with me on the tram. Having the toy tram to play with would be lovely! It’s nice to have a toy that is so local.
My other 2 favourite toys on the Monkey Caboose site is the Flatout Frankie Little cook oven and the Make Me Iconic Munchies jigsaw.
Monkey Caboose’s best products for my little man are ‘Toosh Coosh Booster Seat’, ‘Make Me Iconic Wooden Melbourne Tram’ and the ‘Brainy Baby 4 Board Book Set’. But it was a hard choice, such a great selection of products.

3. Fussenegger Owl and Pear Pram/bassinet Blanket to rug up when we are out and about!
What kind of proud Melbournite would my child be without a Make me Iconic Melbourne Tram! So that would definitely be included in our top 3. We’d also open our hearts and represent a little more of Australia, so the Make Me Iconic Wooden Sydney Ferry would be no. 2 on our list. And finally it would have to be the 3 Sprouts toy storage bin in the cute Fox design as our favourite no.3. My list of favourites could continue to a very long list looking at the Monkey Caboose site – fantastic stuff!

I love the Toosh Coosh booster seat, smart and functional, the Le Toy Van farm playmat for all of our farm collection and for me, the tiger tree silver tree necklace! Lovely products and equally lovely to see something for mum!

My favourite 3 items are Melbourne Tram, Handmade Owl – Kingsley and Uncle goose nursery rhyme block set. Absoutely gorgeous items. Love them!
After the melb tram, my top 3 picks would be. Any of the fussed egged pram blankets, a 3 sprouts hooded towel (monkey) so cute.

For us the top three products from Monkey Caboose webpage are:
1. Make Me Iconic Wooden Melbourne Tram
2. Uncle Goose Nursery Rhyme 28 Block Set
3. Haba Animal upon Animal.
These toys would keep us occupied indoors during long & dark winter afternoons.

1- Make me iconic Melbourne wooden tram. Ive been wanting this for a while as my son turns 4 soon so would be the perfect age to play with it and not ruin it.
2 – Haba mini orchard game – it looks gorgeous
3 – Tiger tree gold peas in a pod necklace – just stunning.
Number one on our list would have to be the tram!! It’s always a treat for my kids when we use public transport and my 18 month old gets so excited whenever he so much as sees a tram!
Second on our list is Monkey Caboose Tooth Fairy Pillow – Monkey … my older two kids are in the midst of having ‘wobbly’ teeth and this lil fella would make the tooth fairy’s visit so much more exciting!
Last but by no means least i would choose for myself Monkey Caboose Cushion – Chocolate Giraffes on White … because you can never have too many cushions AND i absolutely LOVE giraffes!!
My top three are as follows
1. the tram as my dad is from Melbourne and this would be a great for my kids now to play with now and for a treasured memory in years to come
2. the seagul ceiling light, what a great feature for a boy or girls bedroom!

Having emigrated to Melbourne and then moving to Sydney for work. Having one of these trams for my daughter would be fantastic to match her sydney ferry.
My favourites would have to be:
- the tram. My son loves all things cars and it would go so well with his transport & vintage inspired room :)
- Rosemonde Et Michel Coudert Bi-plane Ceiling Light – Blue. So unique and would look great in my sons room too!
- Wall Decors Butterfly Branch. WIsh I had seen this when I was doing my daughters room. It’s perfect. I love all things butterfly!!
We love the Frankie oven, le toy London bus and the make me iconic ferry. I always admire the make me iconic toys and wish my girls had them we only have Girly toys.
My little boy would adore the Make Me Iconic wooden tram – I tried to find him one on his first holiday to Melbourne at just 8 weeks old with no luck! I also love the Make Me Iconic Sydney Ferry as well as the Le Toy Van London Bus!
1. Make Me Iconic Wooden Melbourne Tram – I have my eye on this gorgeous toy for ages now, my little girl would adore it!

I love this! my 2 boys love the trams in Melbourne it is the highlight of the trip to Melbourne when the boys see them and riding them is the biggest thrill. Shame on Sydney for getting rid of them!
I would love one of the Melbourne trams living in Sydney but Melbourne is home and miss it heaps we have have a bag with a funky pic of a green and yellow tram which Miss C lives this tram would be awesome I wouldn’t even mind one in my room too!!
Monkey caboose is fabulous! My three pics are the make me iconic tram and ferry and the le toy van London bus. Love them all!
My top 3 picks are:
Lunch Punch vrrRRMM! transport set
Make me iconic munchies jigsaw
Make me iconic wooden Melbourne tram
Such a cute online store!
So many awesome and beautiful things, but if I HAVE to choose, my top three are:
The wooden Sydney Ferry (no need for arguments about which city is better if you have a Sydney ferry and Melbourne tram!); the Haba Buggy First words book, as Mr. 15 months is a chatterbox; and the Rosemonde et Michel Kite light.
Our two year old son is OBSESSED with anything that moves and he is very adept at mimicking the various horns, beeps and honk sounds they each make. As such, his favourites from the Monkey Caboose website would have to be the Melbourne Tram, Sydney Ferry and London Bus. It would be really special to win this amazing prize…so please pick us!
What a treasure. An aussie icon to love and enjoy
My little Jac would absolutely love this he is tram crazy, he would be stoked to have one of these and something he can keep for years to come. It’s just gorgeous.

2. The Melbourne Tram

Living in and loving Melbourne. Its the best City in the world. Trams are a bonus and so iconic.
We would love this in our house. My little guys are 2 and we’ve never won anything and buying buying a toy lie this 1 is a little out of our budget :(. Really lovely!!
Such a cool selection of things at Monkey Caboose! My favourite things are:
Esthex Mr Morris Musical Fox – the flyest guy in town.
David Fussenegger Charcoal Motorway Blanket – the snuggliest hip baby gift ever.
and of course the Make Me Iconic Melbourne Tram – a perfect fun and practical future heirloom.
1 – the Wooden Melbourne Tram (love, love, love!!!!)
2 – Le Toy Van London Bus ( to fuel my son’s bus obession)
3 – Flatout Frankie little Aeroplane (what is cooler than some pretend play flying through the air!?)

The Melbourne tram
The Sydney ferry (my boys would fight over that!)
Flat out Freddie aeroplane (hopefully they’d play together?!)

No.1 would have to be the Make Me Iconic Melbourne Tram considering that l am a born and breed Melbourne(r)
No.2 Le Toy Van London Bus – classic piece
No.3 Esthex Mr Morris Musical Fox – he is so cute
Can you tell l have a home filled with boys!!
A Rosemonde bi- plane light for my planes loving boys, the make me Iconic Melbourne toy tram which will be a cherished toy and the monkey tooth fairy pillow for when my eldest becomes a gappy toothed boy.
OMG OMG OMG it’s the trammmmmmm!
I’ve wanted this for my baby before my baby was a twinkle in the eye. Now she’s here, I have to have it for her room (she’s 7 weeks old) as I’m from Melbourne and lived on St.Kilda road with the trams sailing past my room. I met my daughter’s father in Sydney, so a Sydney ferry would be my second favourite toy for her. A third choice would be the lunch punch critter cutters – cos they are super cute.
Love the 3 Sprouts storage bins, the Angel ceiling light and the Haba doctor case for my future surgeon!
This amazing tram is definitely one of my top picks from Monkey Caboose (I used to live in Melbourne and frequently traveled on trams so it would be a lovely reminder of those days!). I also love the London Bus and 3 Sprouts ‘Fox’ storage bin :)
The ferry would be number one in our house because my little boy adores watching them. Closely followed by the tram & the London bus – it’s all about things that go:)
