Sadly we don't have one of these shops near us,BUT Ikea sell a set of 12 round boxes, which come in graduating smaller sizes (so they fit inside each other, or stack) and they are available in a set of different colours, or plain gold.....all for a couple of quid! In fact, when I bought mine, they were only 1 pound each set.I numbered one set and the children love finding enough objects to match the number,,,,,,,,and i sometimes fill them ready for the children to discover.I try to surprise them, the tiny box sometimes has 12 things in it, for instance,12 small feathers,or buttons, while the one box might be the biggest one in the set and there might be a teddy in it.Then vice versa.Trying to teach them that the biggest might not hold the most and the smallest might not hold the least...........
