This Giveaway is now closed. Congrats to our winner, Rosey!
A few weeks ago, we visited my in-laws for Thanksgiving. I always find it interesting when my mother-in-law pulls out toys that my husband and my sister-in-law played with as children. Sometimes I wonder if toys are made as well as they were when I was a child.
Since I’m partial to all-things European-made, I was very excited to check out Maukilo, an online retailer offering a diverse selection of heirloom-quality European and American designed toys. Rather than plastic or battery-operated toys, you’ll find well-crafted wooden and fabric puzzles, books, blocks, games, and more. Featuring brands like Blabla, Plan Toys, and Haba, Maukilo strives to offer expertly crafted toys that will hopefully last for years to come.
My son and I have been playing with HABA’s Arranging Game Corner to Corner, a collection of 62 German-made beech wood tiles that can be arranged in any number of ways. My son likes arranging the tiles by color, which I am expanding upon by teaching him to sort and count. The tiles can be arranged in either a flat or upright pattern and can be made into a house, tower, and more. I appreciate the suggested designs although I also like seeing what my son can come up with on his own. For the eco-conscious parent, the tiles are colored with 100% non-toxic water-based stain.
The site itself houses over 1500 HABA toys alone. Although there are a vast number of items to choose from, the site is nicely laid out so that you can shop by age group, price, brand, or type of toy. Here are a few other gift suggestions from Maukilo:
HABA’s Toni and Tine Guardian Angels
Castle Rosegarden Palace Creative Cardboard
Right now, you can save 10% off orders with the code December-10.
Win It! One of you will win a $25 gift certificate to Maukilo. Simply leave me a comment with the name of the toy you’d choose (other than those listed here) if you won. Comments will close on January 4, 2011 at 11:59 PM PST.
