City in a Bag
- Made by: Muji
- Price: $14.00
It's never too early to experience the monuments that dot our dear metroplises. Muji has turned London's landmarks—ike Big Ben, the BT Tower, double decker buses and black cabs—into simple shapes suitable for your kid to explore from the comfort of the living room, and with the London Design Festival taking place at the end of this week, now's a great time to introduce them to the Gherkin. The sets are also available for New York, Paris, and Tokyo.
