Flash Fridays & Giveaways

by  |  on November 30th, 2011  |  87 comments

Wowza! It is the 2nd last Raspberry Kids Give-A-Day of Christmas and we would be lying if we said we weren’t a little sad. The incredibly thoughtful responses and amazing feedback we have received from all you wonderful people has been overwhelming. We are so grateful. But enough with the sappy stuff, lets get down to bizness.

On the 11th Give-A-Day of Christmas, Raspberry Kids Gave to me….

Pipers Piping Sevi flutes

 ten Astronauts a leaping on the moon, nine My Natural Dolls dancing, eight anamalz cows a milking, seven Sharks a Swimming, six Geese a Po Po Poncho fleece a Wearing (There are no geese a laying here, just geese wearing ponchos … if you don’t believe us, check out our facebook page), five Ringley Natural Organic Teething Toy, four  Calling So Young Mother Brown Birds, three French Toast on a Plan Toys Breakfast menu set,  two A Beleduc Turtle (dove) Puppet and a P’kolino Multi Solution Owl Puzzle in a pear tree!

Wooden toys are a great way to keep your little one BPA and toxin free this Holiday Season. This is key since your Raspberry Kid is going to be drooling over this Sevi Flute.  I guess it is also important because  it is going to spend a fair amount of time in their mouth as they make sweet sweet music :P

Sevi is just one of the many brands of wooden toys that we are carrying this year. Other brands include, the newly added Le Toy Van and Janod and the ever classic Plan Toys and Educo. Check them all out in the wooden toys section of Raspberry Kids. The perfect gifts for all ages that will stand the test of time and we’ve got something for every budget!

Holiday Hot Tip Of the Day: OK, this tip is BURNING hot!  (cue:  Sizzling noise)  Be sure to watch the Raspberry Kids Facebook Page and blog very closely tomorrow as the 12th Give-A-Day of Christmas is going to bring some wonderful things to help with your shopping That You Are NOT Going To Want To Miss!  You’ll love it!  We promise!

    I love wooden toys because I hate the waste that plastic toys bring! Wooden toys also seem to last quite a bit longer. I like the Janod toys. My son has a lot of Thomas the Train wooden trains/tracks as well.
  2. Janice F Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    I love wooden toys because they're so much better for my kids' health and the environment, with less packaging, no plastic and non-toxic paints. We have a Nuchi train set, alongside toys by ImagiPlay, Anamalz, Educo, Plan Toys, Le Toy Van, Tegu and a Manhattan Toy "Skwish".
  3. Janice F Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    I shared this giveaway on Facebook (and of course, I voted for you! - good luck!!!)
  4. Jennifer Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011

  8. Joyce Mcgregor Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    I am not sure the brand but I found my granddaughter a wooden puzzle at scholars choice here in Winnipeg about 3 years ago and she still has it well made for sure the same as all your products
  9. Wendy Ens Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    My little ones all love music, and so this would be a fun addition to our home. We have a collection of Thomas the Train.
  10. Christine Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    My adorable 2 year old loves music! He makes up his own songs (simple of course) and puts it to his own tune using his instruments. We would love to add this instrument to our collection :)
  11. Debbie Kolysher Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    I love wooden toys because they are so natural looking. I'm a Kinder teacher and there is a huge shift towards a "natural" environment, instead of the plastic toys - I love the look of them too!
  12. Debbie Kolysher Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    I love the brand Melissa & Doug for their wooden toy line.
  13. Brandi Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    I like the durability of the wooden toys. I really like the wooden food by Melissa and Doug.
  14. Erlinda Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    Wooden toys feel so classiic, yet can be so modern. I like Le Toy brand.
  15. Sarah Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    I love Plan toys - I have yet to meet one of their products that I don't love. Likewise for my 2 yr old. Our current fave is the sorting cone. My daughter takes the centre dowels out and uses them like drumsticks. :o)

  23. Kristina Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    I voted for you guys!
  24. Rosalie Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    Our family much prefer wooden toys to plastics - while obviously a tree had to be cut down to make wooden toys, trees are often cut down to create the energy used to make plastics, which also happen to be made of oil. When the toy eventually goes into the trash, as all toys will ultimately do, wood will not harm the environment or be damaging in landfills. It won't give off ozone-killing, global warming gases the way plastics will. Unpainted wood is an entirely environmentally friendly material. Wooden toys also last much longer and don't make it into the trash until much later than the plastic version, and often are of such a quality that they can be played with for generations.
  25. tennille Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    we love wooden toys we have thomas trains and tons of melissa and doug puzzles.
  26. kim m Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    I love wooden toys because the quality and beauty is unparalleled. I feel they teach children to respect quality and value beautiful things. They last forever and are usually 'thoughtful' toys that require imagination on behalf of the child. Our favourite wood toy brand, so far, is Plan Toys.

    I'm a big fan of the Haba stuff, but Sevi makes beautiful things as well. I'd love it if you would start carrying the Haba soother chains!
  29. Gemma Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011
    I love that wooden toys are natural...I am loving the anamalz, think we need to build up our collection!
  30. Amber Wednesday - 30 / 11 / 2011

  85. Tara C Friday - 02 / 12 / 2011
    We love soopsori wooden toys, they are so beautifully made (we have the birthday cake and my kids love it). As for the reason we love wood toys, simply because I try to encourage natural materials as much as possible in our home. I also avoid plastic because I don't trust it to be safe and non-toxic.

    I have been trying to reduce the amount of plastic at home for many reasons - just one being that plastic toys can often break when bitten/chewed by my toddler. Wood is natural and renewable, and has that everlasting/ timeless/heirloom and quality sense to it. We love Sevi, Plan Toys and Melissa & Doug especially.
