Peg Brite
Peg Brite by Quercetti is a light-up peg mosaic. Children push translucent, bulb-shaped pegs into a perforated board, switch on the soft LED backlight, and watch their picture glow. The set includes an album of 12 sample images to copy, but the board is a blank canvas. A child can make a rainbow, a robot, their initials, or a pattern that is simply theirs.
The pegs are large enough for small hands to pick up and place with purpose. They are made from a crystalline material that still catches the light when the board is switched off, so the toy looks beautiful whether it is lit or not. In the evening it becomes a gentle glowing picture for a bedroom or reading corner. The LEDs are very bright but use little power.
This is quiet, focused play that asks the child to think, plan, and make. There is no screen and no single right answer. Peg Brite is made by Quercetti, a long-standing Italian maker of peg and mosaic toys, and it earns its place on our shelves because it brings careful handwork and creativity together in a way children want to return to.

What our OT says:
When I watch a child use Peg Brite, the first thing I notice is their grip. Each peg is small enough to invite a pincer grasp (thumb and index finger) but large enough not to frustrate a three-year-old. Pushing the peg into the board needs controlled pressure through the fingertips, which supports finger strength and the precision children later use for pencils, buttons, and scissors. When a child holds several pegs in one hand and feeds them forward one at a time, they practise in-hand manipulation, a skill that is often overlooked but important.
The black board and glowing pegs give strong visual contrast. That makes this a lovely way to work on visual perceptual skills like figure-ground, spatial awareness, and tracking along rows. Copying a design from the booklet adds visual-motor integration: the child has to look, hold the pattern in mind, find the right hole, and place the peg. Depending on how it is used, this can also support working memory, planning, and early numeracy concepts such as counting, symmetry, and repeating patterns.
I like how easily the cognitive load can be adjusted. A younger child might simply fill holes and enjoy the colour and light. An older child can follow a design, invent their own, or try writing letters and numbers in pegs, which builds early literacy in a playful way. Most children stabilise the board with one hand while placing pegs with the other, which supports bilateral coordination. Switching on the soft light in a dimmed room can also create a calm, regulating sensory experience for children who find bright, busy play overwhelming.
As an occupational therapist, I value toys that let children practise real skills without play feeling like work. Peg Brite does exactly that. I would happily recommend it for home, the classroom, or a therapy room.
Let customers speak for us
The service was absolutely incredible. Fast friendly and so helpful. My sons gift was wrapped beautifully
Thank you so much for the wonderful service and quality gift.
My son absolutely loves these balls to use on his playdough (he's 3). The fact that they stick together but you can also pull them apart is what really gets his attention.
Brilliant experience, fantastic price and by far my child's most favourite toy!
Thank you!
Thank you for all the free recourses. 💚
I bought this for my son as a level up from stacking cups. The cars add a fun element and I love that he can play with them on the train track too!
My 20 month old loves this shape sorter! It’s stimulating and looks great on his toy shelf.
I bought this ice cream counter for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday. She and her 5 year old sister absolutely LOVE playing with this. Their mother's reaction was 'WHAT a hit!' The younger one loves to stack and place, the colourful and sturdy pieces, in out of the slots of the counter and this will develop into proper pretend play as she gets older. I can see both girls playing with their ice cream counter for years to come as it will have a long shelf life due to both the quality of the parts and the play interest for a broad age group of children.
Innovative and a GREAT idea to level up the bath toy game!
I bought this outdoor easel for my son, and it has been an amazing addition to our garden playtime. The quality is excellent, and it's sturdy enough to withstand active play outdoors. My son loves spending hours drawing, painting, and using his imagination.
The easel was easy to assemble and has plenty of space for creative activities. It's also easy to clean, which is a huge bonus for messy art projects! I love that it encourages creativity, keeps him entertained, and gives him a fun way to enjoy the outdoors.
I highly recommend this outdoor easel to any parent looking for a durable, fun, and educational gift for their child.
I love using this in speech therapy as an incentive. The children find it very exciting to lift the discs off the table with the wand. Strong magnet.
I will order from Tiny tree toys again, their service was very professional and friendly.
A really lovely cuddly bedtime cloth - my grandson loves it :-) Good tactile features included that engage baby's senses and provide comfort.
All three of my girls are loving this simple addition to the outside play area. Seems quite strong as I absolutely launch them. Love the fact that the height is adjustable. Great product - Happy.
We absolutely loved the gorgeous gift that we received of the cutest black & white flower bouquet with Afr & Eng gift tags for Mother's Day of 2026!
It was simply lovely and só spot on!
Thank you Tiny Tree Toys! ⚘️
I absolutely love this puzzle, and have purched multiple ones as gifts. It is well crafted, and the wood is neatly rounded off. I'll be honest I've never played the game guidlines included, and rather use it as a catalyst in my creative processes. I love the fact that there are no rules to this, and the opportunity to use it as an expressive tool. My tiny human loves it too, and can play endlessly with captivated imagination.
