These animal inspired wooden toys from Muji are destined as gifts for kids but are far too beautiful and well designed to give them to a child who will only break it in a minute. Wouldn't these better adorn your work desk? The range of models of endangered and extinct species highlights important ecological issues and encourages respect for animals and the environment, says there. Why, sure, I especially love the adorable little dodo.
