by local artisans. The company is named for
the community that manufactures their blocks:
Tegucigalpa. The magnets are safely embedded
into the wood and will never fall out. Tegu
Blocks are essentially blocks that click instead
of stack and increase your child’s creative play.
There is also eco-toy manufacturer Apple Park
that has a gorgeous collection of plush organic
stuffed animals, rattles, teething toys and soft
blocks that are simply divine. All products are
made with certified organic cotton and are
completely safe for children to gnaw on and
snuggle up to—even the most sensitive.
Buying gifts for children can be challenging
but Jade’s Toy Box is a great go-to company
that offers educational and eco-friendly
toys in one gift box. Boxes like The Moody
Foodie contains books, toys, colorful pots and
dishware made of recycled milk jugs, sensory
dough, food puzzles, cooking/art apron, games,
sliceable wooden fruit and veggies and more.
The collection is focused on toys and resources
that parents can use with their child to reinforce
learning opportunities from routine, everyday
events, like going to the post office or doing
laundry. It’s a whole new world of exploration
and learning.
