Maukilo Giveaway

This giveaway has ended. Thanks to all that entered!
Still looking for toys to buy on your holiday list? I was contacted about a great site that sells tons of Eco-friendly toys called Maukilo. They carry products made for babies, toddlers, and kids that are sure to inspire their imagination! They carry brands like Haba, Green Toys, Plan Toys, Plasma Car, Sarah's Silks and more.

Ella was sent the BlaBla Anemone Mermaid Knit Doll to review and she is extra special.Ella has renamed her Ariel, though her hair is rainbow and not red. The 17' Mermaid is hand knitted by Peruvian artisans. They use natural grown cotton grown in Peru. She is also made with non-toxic dyes. The Mermaid is extra soft and plush, which has been perfect for snuggling. Ella has been very picky with who gets to sleep with her and "Ariel" has joined the pack- on most nights.

We've been BlaBla fans for a couple of years when Ella's aunt bought her a BlaBla Butterfly backpack. I love the details and quality of their products. You can find 42 BlaBla dolls to choose from on Maukilo!

Maukilo has put together a Gift Guide for their site and I thought I'd share it with you!

For Families

GEO Toys GeoPuzzle Animals • Ages 4+ • $14.95
GeoPuzzles make learning world geography fun! As children assemble this 68-piece puzzle they learn which animals are found on which continents. Made in Germany.

HABA has become an industry leader in children’s games over the past decade, thanks largely to their approach to writing game instructions. They believe by offering multiple play variations for different skill levels, they increase the value and the lifespan of the game. They’re also one of the few game manufacturers that makes cooperative games, so that siblings work together to complete the game instead of competing against each other.

HABA Castle Knights • Ages 5+ • $24.99
The knights are racing to build the towers before King Duncan gets home! Players use a stretchy band, not their hands, and together lift and build different castle towers shown on the picture cards. But watch the timer - you have to move quickly. Build a tower on each of the three levels before the King's arrival. Cooperative game designed for 2-4 players.

HABA Pirate Joe Mini Game • Ages 4+ • $12.59
A game of quick reactions. Players wear the included eye patches, and roll the die to determine what to do, if it’s the cannon—clap your hands together and say “Boom!” The last to do it gets a scar drawn on their face with the included face paint pencil. The first pirate to get 5 scars loses, and the person with the least number of scars is the winner. For 2-4 reckless pirates.

The Caravan Game • Ages 6+ • $21.59
The caravan moves through the scorching-hot desert. The heat, dunes and mirages hamper the camels’ progress. Watch out for sudden sandstorms that pop up and get the camels misdirected! With some tactical thinking and luck, the player with the most camels at the oasis is the winner. Great family game! For 2-4 players.
