Because It’s Christmas - Group 1 gift unwrapped - Let’s Go Walking Puppy from North Star Toys GIVEAWAY
THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED AND COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED
The next gift we are unwrapping in our Kids & Charity Giveaway is a Let’s Go Walking Puppy from North Star Toys. YOU have a chance to win one and the Relief Nursery of Collin County in Plano TX will receive one too!
North Star Toys is a perfect fit for our Because It’s Christmas Kids & Charity Giveaway. Their toys are Green, they are family owned and operated, and their toys are made to be safe and to last for generations.
From the website:
Since 1979 our family has been making quality, non-toxic wooden toys at affordable prices for families like yours. Walnut, oak, alder and other fine woods are handcrafted into smooth, durable designs and rubbed with a non-toxic oil to allow the natural beauty to shine. Recycled materials are used whenever possible and top priority is given to environmental sustainability.
At North Star Toys we believe that conscious parenting is one of the most wonderful and challenging responsibilities on the planet. It is our hope to support this important endeavor by offering simple toys that stimulate creative, imaginative play. We truly care about the toys we make and hope that they add to the nurturing experiences of childhood.
The first thing I noticed about the Let’s Go Walking Puppy from North Star Toys when I opened the box was the smell. Yes, me and my nose at work again. Even through the stuffy nose of my cold, I could smell freshly sawn wood. And it smelled good and natural and real.
The Let’s Go Walking Puppy is about 7″ long and 4″-5″ high. He has ball wheels and a nylon pull cord with a wooden dowel at the end for a good grip! The puppy is very sturdy and extremely well built. All of his edges are rounded so they are soft and smooth on little hands and he rolled across the carpet and a hard floor with ease.
I am so excited to have this toy for Abby. The idea of a handcrafted, natural, toy that is safe and durable really makes me feel like I am providing the best play opportunities that I can for her. North Star Toys exemplifies the idea of a Green Company, and their toys stand out for their quality and their potential for little imaginations to conjure up all kinds of wonderful stories and adventures. And to know that they are a family-owned company who make the toys themselves, with warmth and care put into each toy, will forever endear this toy to us and help it become a family heirloom we will treasure for many years to come.
