Oh! Toys Unique, Creative Toys $75 GC Giveaway

>> Thursday, March 25, 2010


Oh! Toys is a really cool online toy company. I really love the way that you can shop by activity- build, roll, imagine, spin, create, play and think! Oh! Toys has very unique, creative toys that I have ever only seen at Oh! Toys. Check out a few of the options!



Boyongolo!

A brilliantly colored, ingenious plastic ball run construction toy from Award-winning Hungarian designer Judit Tolnay.

Combines snap-together assembly of pieces with planning out the path of the ball.

This toy can be arranged over and over again in a variety of ways to keep your busy.

Currently on sale!







Ruck and Zuck!

Ruck + Zuck are two lovable characters in the Kellner Stick Figure family.

Like all Kellner creations, Ruck + Zuck are whatever you make them to be.

This award-winning toy system lets your child create characters and scenes that are only limited by imagination. Pieces are child-safe wood, fabric and plastic.

I want some new wooden toys from
Carl and Me!

>> Friday, February 12, 2010

Yesterday, I woke up to a mess! I went to bed to it also but I guess I was too tired to register it! Anyway, there were toys everywhere. It put me into a cleaning frenzy. I decided I had picked up many of those plastic toys way too many times. Especially the ones that come apart into 15 pieces and never seem to be fully assembled and the ones that always run out of batteries! I got some bags out and made a very nice pile to bring to Good Will.

I am ready to fung shui my place (the principle that a good environment enhances our wellbeing and helps us relax). So I headed on over to Carl and Me to make up a birthday shopping list for my two cuties that will please them and keep my place feeling greener and cleaner.

Look at some of my hot picks!

Fagus Forklift Loader. I can see Leo and Sierra having a blast with this one. They love manipulating things and making them work!

This Fagus Car Loader would keep Leo super happy as he loves cars and loading and unloading them is his kind of game!

NIC Wooden Toys - Runnic Walker would be perfect for Sierra. She wants to learn to ride a bike and a friend of mine has this for her son and he loves it. Because it is a little lower to the ground and doesn't have pedals that get in the way, he is able to learn his balance and he zooms around on that thing!

NIC Wooden Toys - Weaving Frame Susi This one looks like a toy that Sierra would dig! Her aunt was just showing her how to knit a scarf and I think she would love this!

Carl & Me will donate 10% of every order until March 31st to Save the Children for the suffering children of Haiti. Plus, the owners have decided to give my readers a special 10% discount, just use code "tees"! They do same day shipping for all toys in stock too so head on over and take a peak at Carl and Me.com!

Oh! Toys- Unique, Creative Toys and Reader Discount

>> Sunday, January 24, 2010


Sometimes, I find that life sweeps you along and that an opportunity or an interest can put you in a place you never knew you were going! That is what happened to the owner of Oh! Toys. About 10 years ago, a Cuboro building block and marble run toy gift for his young daughters, wound up fascinating him as much as it did them! He fell in love with its wonderful design and it's developmental and educational qualities and he wound up starting Oh! Toys. The company mission evolved quickly to his simple purpose: To provide cool toys that are otherwise hard to find. The main criteria in selecting toys for his website are that they be educational, and developmentally and creatively stimulating.

I love the Oh! Toys website because it is visually appealing and well organized. I like the product pictures and headings and I like that shopping is made easy and to your taste as you can pick to shop by most popular toys, brand, price, activity, toy type, child's age, or by what's on sale.

I had never heard of Cuboro before I discovered Oh!Toys but I am naturally curious about this toy that inspired a father to start a business around it. So what is Cuboro? "It is an ingenious wooden building block and marble run toy from Switzerland. Cuboro allows endless combinations and designs... Cuboro is truly a "heritage toy" -- one which not only can be passed from one generation to the next, but which children will come back to time and again as they grow and become more sophisticated about their creations." This is indeed an intriguing toy!

Oh! Toys has looked for the unusual, "out-of-the-mainstream" products that you and your children will play with and remember for a long time. Oh! Toys has agreed to give my readers a special 15% discount off the merchandise total. Just use promo code MWYTOH15! This discount is only good once per customer through February so go have a peek at Oh! Toys now! “No cash or credit value. Cannot be combined with other promotional offers.”
