Give the Gift of Imagination

This holiday season, find gifts that allow your child to imagine; toys that are open-ended! That’s why we call ourselves Imagine Toys because we think all our toys offer that opportunity.

Give the Gift of Imagination

Toys that use imagination:
- are simple
- don’t have batteries
- don’t do all the thinking for the kid
- are open-ended
- allow the child to imagine the play

Read this post on why imaginative, open-ended toys are best for children’s brain and development.

Happy Holidays!

Show Your Green! Best Eco Companies and Toys for Kids

I don’t want my kids to be poisoned by paint, varnish, or glue if they put a toy in their mouths – which, kind of happens a lot at a certain age. That’s why I’m a huge advocate for eco-friendly toy companies that assure me their products are 100% non-toxic and safe for my children.

This St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) go green and support our favorite eco-friendly toy brands at Imagine Toys!
