This giveaway is now closed and the winner has been contacted. Congrats Kathy!
If you have young children then you have certainly been concerned over all of the lead paint that has been found in the toys we give our children to play with. I wish I could purchase all wooden toys for Hailey so that I wouldn’t have to worry every time I hear that there is another recall for a plastic toy covered in lead paint. The thing is- there aren’t that many wooden toys available.
We were really excited when we recently got to check out the very high quality, hand made Cheekeyes Wooden Forest Animal set. Hailey does have some other wooden toys but when you compare how these Cheekeyes toys feel- you can really feel the difference in the quality of the toys. And of course, another important criteria- Hailey really enjoyed playing with these animals:
E-tailer Oompa Toys knew it had something very special when it introduced American families to the Cheekeyes — adorable and durable toys made from eco-friendly rubberwood. Now testers at the 2009 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio have bestowed Cheekeyes its prestigious Platinum Award for one of this year’s best preschool toys. Cheekeyes can only be found in the United States at online toy store www.oompa.com.Handmade and partially painted, each of the Cheekeyes is unique; there are no two the same. From the hands of Dutch designer Rogier van Zijp emerged Arctic, African, Forest and Farm animal sets plus Dinosaurs. Animals sport a distinctive red cheek and painted eye (reflected in their name, Cheekeyes) that will endear them to children and caregivers alike. What started out as a concept for a toy company now has become an independent, new and refreshing line of wooden, artistic toys.
Forest Animal Set
The Forest Animal set comes complete with a bison, wild boar, wolf, goat, and grizzly bear. (Cave and tree sets sold separately, $16.99 each.)
