Green Toys Review

We just celebrated Big Brother's Birthday with an airplane theme this year. With his birthday being in July I thought it fitting to do red, white and blue colors and theme with the airplanes. So how fitting that another wonderful sponsor of his party is Green Toys, with all their products made in the USA!

I love made in the USA products. And not only are Green Toys made in the USA but they are all made from 100% recycled plastic milk jugs. So cool. They also have these really cool airplanes that fit so perfectly with our theme and decor!

They have so many products that I can't even begin to list them all. However they were so generous to sponsor with the following toys that were the hit of the party and around our house!

New this year is the Tractor. Bright orange and sturdy. The wagon detaches as well. Little Brother even likes to try and ride on this one. Out of all the toys we received this was the favorite.

The Ferry Boat. Also new this year and another favorite. Retractable ramp and two little cars and really floats on water. Unique and so much fun.

Race Cars. Fun and sturdy for small hands these cars are virtually indestructible.

The Seaplane. Perfect for our party theme with real moving propeller. Floats on water and is another unique and fun toy.

And of course how perfect are the airplanes. Moving propellers, rolling wheels and in blue and red Americana colors! LOVE these!

Green Toys believes the world would be a much better place if everyone said "please" and "thank you", cell phones didn't ring during movies, and all toys were fun, safe and made from environmentally friendly materials. They are not holding their breath for the first two, so they are concentrating on toys! And I'm so glad they are! All the Green Toys are super sturdy and built to last. They are also lightweight and easy to hold and play for little hands. They can take the rough play from my boys who can break toys in a matter of minutes.

The race cars were put to good use in the kids favor "suitcases" and the other bigger toys became decoration and prizes for fun games at the party. Think pin the propeller on the airplane! You should have seen the smiles and excitement when they got to pick their prize and take it home. What a great feeling to send home some amazing quality toys for all the little party goers!

Here the airplanes make the perfect decor to our waffle bar table!

Green Toys number one priority is safety. No BPA, phthalates or PVC. Just simple fun designs that you can feel good about your children playing with and giving as gifts. The packaging they come in is completely recyclable and smart as well.

I can not say enough good things about Green Toys. Fun, affordable and inventive toys that continue to be a favorite and hold up like no other in our household. You can purchase Green Toys through their website or many stores and web sites around the world. Keep up to date with them on Facebook for new products, giveaways and more.

Thank You Green Toys for sponsoring Big Brother's Birthday Bash! We LOVE Green Toys!

Oompa.com Rainbow Sound Blocks Review

I'm loving all the new "green" and wooden toys that are on the market today. And I'm also loving that toy stores such as Oompa.com has all of these quality, safe, unique toys all in one place!

Oompa Review
I had the opportunity to work with Oompa and review the Rainbow Sound Blocks. These blocks are so incredibly neat! They are targeted toward ages 2 and up and ended up being great fun for both Big Brother and Little Brother! In the couple weeks we have had these they have been a go to toy EVERY DAY.

The Rainbow Sound Blocks come with a wooden storage case and 6 blocks. The blocks have eco-friendly wooden Rubberwood edges and they have transparent colored plexi glass "windows" into each block. They are each filled with a different noise making object. There are 2 circles, 2 squares and 2 rectangles.

Uses:

• Introduction to shapes

• Introduction to color

• Introduction to sound

• Building/stacking

• Noise (Shaking)

• Sorting

• Puzzle

These blocks can do so much in such a small package. My favorite thing about these is the mixing colors. You can hold the shapes up to the light and when you place the colored plexi glass together they will make the mixed color. Such as yellow and blue together give you green! This is such a simple learning tool for color.

They boys favorite thing about the blocks are stacking, looking through them and trying to fit them back in the storage case correctly. They also make great freight for their trains and trucks. Blocks are a great toy in my opinion, they can be used for so many things and for any age!

The Rainbow Sound Blocks cost $39.99. When you see and feel the quality of these blocks you will realize they are worth every penny. These will be a toy you will put away for future children or grandchildren. Guaranteed they are made to last! The Rainbow Sound Blocks have won numerous awards too giving you even more reassurance they are a fantastic buy!

These are just a few other products I really love that Oompa carries, although they have thousands of choices! And not just toys, but furniture, games, school gear and more! If you are searching for a gift of any kind you will find something in each price range that will for sure be a hit. Can't choose? Buy a gift certificate!

You can find Oompa on all social media! Facebook for updates, contests and other kid inspired/related information. Twitter and Pinterest too! If you haven't heard or checked out Oompa you are seriously missing some fabulous, unique products that your children (and you) will love!
