Baby Lust - Animalz
Once again I am in love.
But this time, it’s with a cow. And a giraffe. And a pig. And a sheep. And a horse. They are from Australia. Queensland to be exact. Can’t you just hear the twang in their moos and oinks?
My baby got six of these wonderful little guys as a birthday present from her Aunt, Uncle and cousins from Maine. At this point, I adore them as much as she does. And the more I learn, the more I love them.
First of all Animalz are friggin adorable. And they’re fun. They have bendy legs and necks and can all stand on one foot (I am not joking, just look at the website). They each are full of personality and warmth and humor. And they are wooden. Which makes them rich and textured and deep in a way no plastic toy can ever be.
And now for the really good stuff. Animalz are made from organic maple and textile products using nontoxic glue and paint. They give a percentage of each sale to world wildlife organizations. Buy them at your local independent toy store. But if you can’t find them there, Target has them too. Which is awesome really.
Oh and you can register them. You go to the site, enter the unique number printed on the bottom of one foot, name them, and you get a certificate. I just named baby’s cow, Lydia.
And did I mention they all can stand on one foot.?Environmentally friendly, widely available, whimsical and warm? Oh yeah, and the Aussie accent. Yeah, that’s something baby’s gotta have.
