TIP: RECOMMENDED TOYS FOR KIDS
Playforever Cars
Designed in England. Toys that are virtually indestructible art toys that are built to last a lifetime. Playforever's story began when Founder Julian Meagher was just eleven years old. Riding his bike around local underground car parks, searching for tucked-away supercars and peeking under dust covers to marvel at their sleek forms and shiny badges, this early fascination with the beauty and magic of classic vehicles sparked a lifelong ambition to create a collection of timeless heirloom toys: A collection that would delight and captivate generations to come, children and grown ups alike.
The Playforever brand is sold in over 20 countries worldwide. Drawing inspiration from iconic racing cars and fighter planes from the 1920s, as well as classic 1960s New York, combined with decades of researching and studying technical car design and automotive styling, their collection of Midis, Minis and Mavericks is an eclectic mix of art, fashion, traditional design and modernism.
Tip: You can purchase these great toy cars on Toytoise and/or Amazon. These cars are great for all ages, even adults!
Build & Imagine Doll Houses
Malia’s House is all the fun of a dollhouse with the enrichment of a building set. Amazon's editors selected it as one of their top picks for the "craft & create" trend highlighted in their holiday toy list. You can build Malia's House any way you like by joining illustrated shapes magnetically. Then decorate the house and invent new stories with magnetic accessories that stick to the floors, walls, and wooden dress-up dolls. The rich illustrations and modular pieces make it easy to change things up and create a whole new adventure.
In the two years since Build & Imagine launched their line of magnetic building sets, they have amassed more than 25 awards and founder Laurie Peterson was named the 2015 “Rising Star Toy Inventor of the Year.” Malia’s House is the winner of Dr. Toy’s Best Classic Award, Parents’ Choice Gold Award, The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, and PAL’s Top Ten Toys of 2014.
Tip: You can purchase these great doll-houses on Build & Imagine, Barnes & Noble, Kohls, and/or Amazon. We tried the Draw & Build Dollhouse, which allows you to draw all the rooms and characters. Not only does this allow your child to create a new dollhouse and scenario every time, but also provides children with an outlet to put their imagination in play. We recommend this for those in preschool to first grade.
