1st Birthday Bash! North Star Toys Review & Giveaway

In this technological age, its so nice to find companies that still do things the old fashioned way. My grandmother always used to tell me stories about how even though her family was poor during the depression, they always had toys because her father would widdle them out of wood. Unfortunately, no one in future generations of my family has had that same talent. But luckily for me there are artists out there who have kept this tradition alive. At North Star Toys, you can find beautiful  wooden toys that are eco-friendly and fun for children of all ages.

For our review, we received one of the  Happy Hybrid Cars. Since the second it arrived, it became Willow's favorite new toy. It may not have flashing lights or play music,  but its the very simplicity that makes it such a wonderful toy.  Willow loves to push it back and forth, and the she spent hours putting the little colored people in and out of their slots. Its made from only wood and toxin free dyes so I know its safe for her.  Its put together very well, and I'm sure with proper care we can pass it down to her children some day. A classic toy like this is something that we will definitely want to keep in the family.

The Happy Hybrid Car is only one of several wooden trucks that are available at North Star Toys. They also have wooden boats, animals, airplanes ans more.  Prices are very reasonable, with many items available for less then $20.  And remember, these are not just toys but works of art. No two are exactly alike. And unlike today's plastic toys, they are going to last forever. They are definitely an investment worth making.









One lucky winner is going to receive a Rollie Flat Bed for their own little one. To enter this giveaway, please visit North Star Toys and tell me something else you would love to have.
