Maukilo Review


This is going to be my last post on Mkokopelli for a little while. :( Once I began working, Miss Ella got very sick. They are running tests to figure out what's going on, but at this time we are all clueless. She has a baseball size lymph node on her neck and has been running a fever for 2 weeks. Once she is better, I promise to be back with lots of fun giveaways and reviews! But until then, I need to focus on getting her better and keeping my sanity!

Maukilo asked me to review one of their amazing toys for the Spring and Ella chose Deglingos Milkos the Cow to review. Maukilo carries 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 has been obsessed with cows since she was a baby and this was perfect for her collection. I love the variety of fabrics plus unique designs of the Delingos.
Original Deglingos are made from 48 different kinds of fabric and string, creating a tactile and visual feast! Their eclectic look endears them to kids and adults alike, whether to cuddle or collect.

Deglingo's? What's that? Never heard of them!
Deglingos (de-GLING-goes): common noun. Animalos molto funnios and muy cazios. A unique species of contagiously quirky animals, the

speak their own language which consists of finishing many words with "os". They all hope to win the upcoming Deglingos Idol competition and can be found living in the best shops in town.

Safety and Quality

They have been tested in one of the most recognized laboratory in the wold and comply with EX71 European regulations with guarantee a high level of security. Over 50 different kinds of fabrics and strings of different colors have been used to create the collection.
