Quality Toys That Encourage Learning and Creativity

Quality Toys That Encourage Learning and Creativity

“Kobold,”  is a creature from German mythology who liked to tease humans.  The founders of Kobold Toys thought this was the perfect name for their toys because it describes the essence of kids: imaginative, playful and creative.

Kobold Toys only carries toys that foster emotional and physical development in children and with kids these days being surrounded with TV and video games – Kobold Toys are a breath of fresh air for parents (and kids)!

There are many toys like this ZipBin Dinosaur Set that encourage imaginative playing.  Remember the days of army guys and barbie dolls?  Kobold Toys is trying to move imaginative learning from the computer and TV, back to real-life.  With video games for kids as young as two, Kobold Toys is a needle in a haystack (that’s what makes them special)!

Colton received this ZipBin Dinosaur Set that initially is a backpack, but then folds into a dinosaur habitat.  Colton uses this backpack, not only for his dinosaurs, but his trucks as well. (I think he invented a new game – dinosaurs and trucks).  This is great for church or other events where the little ones need to be somewhat quiet.  Because the backpack folds into the play-mat, you don’t need to bring a huge backpack to carry all of your child’s trinkets and toys.

There are so many fun toys at Kobold.  Purchase a few of the baby toys for an upcoming baby shower and the soon-to-be-mother will be amazed at the uniqueness.  With the holidays coming up, Kobold is a great place to find unique toys that inspire learning and creativity.

What A Great Gift! Giant Fortune Cookies {Giveaway} – CLOSED

fortunecookie1

Fun, Unexpected, Chocolate Dipped, Giant!, Yummy, Sprinkles.

Those are the words that popped into my mind after eating a whole giant fortune cookie.  I am a dessert girl, so any giant dessert hits the spot.  This fortune cookie is not only bigger than the rest, it’s thicker as well.  This is a fun new way to say “Thank You,” or “I love you.”

Husbands- be unique, don’t just get your wife the same old flowers (even though I love flowers :) ) Surprise her with a Giant Fortune Cookie!  I know I sure would be surprised if my husband brought one of these home on Valentines Day.  I would be shocked that he thought of the unusual but fantastic gift idea on his own, instead of his normal gift- flowers and chocolate.  The Giant Fortune cookie would also be a great way to say, “Will you marry me?”

One thing I would like to see available on Giant Fortune Cookies is a plain cookie.  I thought the Giant Fortune Cookie actually tasted better than regular size (maybe it was my imagination.)  and possibly would have enjoyed it more, if it was plain instead of chocolate dipped. I love the message in the center, but think it would also be a good idea to have different small gifts inside of the fortune cookie.

There is a fortune cookie for every theme and occasion at GiantFortuneCookies.com.  Everything from wedding and baby to election day and Graduation.  You can also create custom fortune cookies at Fancy Fortune Cookies.  Show you care, for any occasion send a Giant Fortune Cookie with a personalized message!
