When I was a young girl (back in the Stone Age, ha ha), I had several toys that were made out of wood. Those wood toys have stood the test of time. I still have many of those toys. My own children have played with those toys too.
Personally I think wood toys are better than their plastic counter parts. Not only are they hearty and well made, but they are also environmentally friendly and biodegradable. Plastic toys on the other hand are not.
There is an award-winning European wood toy brand that has created a colorful and adorable world of imagination through a combination of books, stories, and high-quality toys that make stories come to life. The brand is called Bababoo and Friends.
The brand has a variety of wood toys such as mazes, cars, blocks and puzzles, to name a few. Their toys feature a variety of adorable characters – Bababoo (lion), Lolo (elephant), Pippa (bunny), Wilma (whale), and Yuki (monkey).
The brand recently introduced a plush line of toys featuring their beloved characters.
These soft, high-quality plush feature many unique textures and fabrics for a fun tactile experience. Double-layered fabric and embroidered eyes ensure the utmost quality standards, and the premium filler offers a loveable, squeezable feel. As a special innovation, each character carries an activity picture book made of fabric so kids can roleplay and read aloud fun adventures to Bababoo and his friends.
Each character in the line also has a fully developed backstory and features relatable personalities that radiate positivity, inclusion, and age-appropriate lessons such as friendship and courage. Take for instance Bababoo, who is all about exploring the world with his friends, and learns age-appropriate lessons, like bravery, tolerance, helpfulness, and friendship. Bababoo is a bit scared at times, but fortunately, he has wonderful friends like Wilma, Yuki, Fairy Bunny Pippa, and Lolo who all support and encourage him.
Here are more details about the plush toys.
- Colorful, soft, and cozy
- Made with a variety of materials and colors to engage your little one’s senses
- Each plush character includes a fabric picture book to encourage storytelling
- Conveys a sense of closeness to provide comfort and emotional security
- Encourages imaginative roleplay
The brand sent me one fo their plush toys to see for myself. I received the SUPER ADORABLE Yuki the Monkey.
I love how the patterns on him are a bit mis-matched. I think that adds to his cuteness and uniqueness.
That face! Look at that sweet face. The moment I took him out of the box and saw him, he made me smile.
This plush toy is SO SOFT. I can see why little children will want to cuddle with one of these plush toys. These are the perfect bedtime companion.
His size is small, making him a great size for babies and toddlers. He’s also great for traveling since he can easily fit inside a backpack, luggage, tote bag or even a large purse.
The attached book is cute too. Each page features the beloved characters from the Bababoo brand.
When our daughter was a toddler, she had a small book with only pictures in it that was made out of vinyl. She used to “read” the story all time, even though she didn’t know how to read. She simply loved to flip through the pages and pretend she was reading. It was so cute.
These plush toys would make great gifts this holiday season. They would also make great gifts for baby showers, new baby, toddlers and more.
