ImagiPLAY

ImagiPLAY is an eco-friendly company who really makes an extra effort to produce high quality wooden toys in an environmentally conscious manner.  A little bit about ImagiPLAY from their website:

All of ImagiPLAY’s toys are made from eco-friendly materials, with plantation-grown rubberwood being a favorite. Rubber trees produce a sap that is used to make latex products. At the end of their latex-producing years (generally 25-30 years) the trees are harvested and new ones planted. But these wonderful trees have one more gift to give us -their beautiful, splinter-free hardwood, from which ImagiPLAY makes many of its award winning, heirloom quality toys. Products for which Rubberwood is not suitable are made from wood from managed forests. ImagiPLAY’s factories are placed close to the neighborhoods where its craftsmen live so that the majority of them can walk or ride their bikes to work each day, enabling its craftsmen to maintain quality relationships with their own children while they make toys for others.

You’ve probably already seen some of ImagiPLAY’s classic cute nesting puzzles, like the 3 Chicks, the Number Snail, or the Counting Penguins. Some of my favorite ImagiPLAY products are:

ImagiPLAY sent us the Backyard Buddy Blocks to review.  They are labeled 18+ months, but I thought Brandon would be a little too young for them and probably just throw them or maybe stack them.  Much to my surprise, he dumped them out and put all 4 pieces back in the box!  He doesn’t quite understand how to solve the puzzle, but I’m still impressed that he can fit all of the blocks in and that he’s trying.  Hey, it even took my husband a minute or two to figure it out.    He actually really loves these blocks, and takes them out to play with them all the time.  From the picture, I couldn’t tell how big they were so I was a little surprised when I saw that it’s so small, but they are actually a perfect size for little hands.
