********* sticky post, scroll down for newer posts **********

I first came across ImagiPlay when I was browsing the web, searching for quality toys for my child. I didn't just want some battery-operated gadget with flashing psychedelic lights and/or capable of emitting ear-splitting noise. We already have plenty of those headache-inducing things (wince)! No, I was looking for toys that'd help his eager young mind to grow as well.

I was instantly captivated with ImagiPlay's motto, "Toys With Integrity". And upon investigating further, I was overjoyed to learn that they have quality products that connect with nature, have eco-friendly sources, and hold educational value to boot! In short, they're green (anyone who visits this blog regularly knows I'm all for going green), they're safe (and with the recent scare of lead toys, which parent hasn't looked around for safer alternatives) and they make learning fun (just what I was looking for)!
Which is why I think you should give them a chance too! And there's something in it for you too, wink! More on that towards the end of the post. Read on...

ImagiPlay's Founder and President Barbera Aimes offers children toys that represent her true passion: our planet. Their toys (whose materials and paint meet or exceed US and European standards) take their inspiration from Mother Earth herself and are made from renewable, sustainable materials.ImagiPlay has a wide range of toys, from babies to toddler to older kids, from puzzles, to wooden playsets to imaginative bookends, there's something for everyone there. Their plain wooden rattles are perfect for newborns. You can also use their convenient Where to Buy feature and see which stores in your zipcode carry their products.
And while you're there, readers can browse into their Learning Center and add to their knowledge of various animals, most of them featured on ImagiPlay. For instance, did you know Geckos have no eyelids or that baby flamingos drink milk?! Children will just love that!

My Kiddo enjoys playing with his Counting Bunnies. Not only does it help him learn numbers, but colors as well and it helps improve his hand-eye coordination. And I can rest easy knowing that he's learning and having fun with a toy safe for him and for Mother Earth as well.
ImagiPlay toys make excellent baby gifts, sure to please the parents as well :)

There were a lot of great toys to comment and highlight, so I'll definitely be back with more! :)
I first found the rattles, my favorite being the elephant: http://www.imagiplay.com/productsdetail2.php?id=164&name=Elephant%20Rattle
The use of natural wood for toys makes them durable, and generally organic. These are toys you could keep for the grandkids. I love that.
I also spent some time in their 'learning center' - how fun to have a story and lesson about various animals! And then a recommended toy to go along with the story. Very cool.
Thanks for a great giveaway!

I like the blocks set for so many reasons- big enough to handle on trips and not get 'parts' lost in the car, and you can actually remake your own blocks with ads or pictures when the child is older as a fun art/craft day:
