Eeboo Toys for Kids

Finding quality toys kids can be so difficult. So often they are cheaply made, manufactured in china, lack quality artistic ability, and end up on a garage sale after a few years. They are constructed for appeal in the store, but fail to stand up to the activities of a toddler. And so ugly! (The farm animals are so unatural looking and ugly.)

I still remember my favorite toys as a child - a puzzle of pigs in an apple orchard, triangular colored wood blocks that fit together, that tubberware shapes ball thing, and of course, tractors (remember when they were made of metal and not plastic!)

Here is my toy test
1. Is it artistically appealing?

(Would it look good laying on the floor of my living room?)
2. Will is stand up to a toddler?
(Could it be brought outside, drug through the dirt and clean up well?)

3. Does it encourage creativity?

(Will it encourage healthy growth and keep them engaged?)

eeboo toys is a company that I have found that does a great job making high quality toys for kids. The company has this to say

eeBoo is about producing beautiful, useful and well-made products for children.

Using only the original art of well-known and well-loved children's book illustrators we create vibrantly original toys and gifts that hopefully children will affectionately remember.

They sell them in Grand Rapids at Schuller Books, but there website helps you find a location close to where you live. Here is there website: http://www.eeboo.com/startpage.php

And sometimes all they need is a tubberware container, a spatula and a few rocks from outside!
