Cheekeyes
There is a new natural toy in town! Cheekeyes are series of adorable wooden play sets with distinctive red cheeks and painted eyes.
Cheekeyes are designed in the Netherlands and made from high-quality, eco-friendly rubberwood.
There are four different animal-themed playsets as well as a dinosaur set and are available in the US only from Oompa.com!
We have the Cheekeyes Wooden Polar Animal Set, which includes an orca, seal, whale, penguin and polar bear.
I love that the animals are extremely smooth and a joy to hold. Their natural wood is complimented with lively splashes of color, which outlines each piece.
I feel it is so important to provide toys that encourage open-ended, imaginative play. Cheekeyes fill that order, and with style!
These toys are beautiful; functional art! Each of the Cheekeyes is handmade, meaning that all are unique; there are no two the same.
Cheekeyes earned the distinction of being recognized in the 2009 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio with the Platinum Award for one of this year’s best preschool toys!
Not only that, but the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio also gave accolades to Cheekeyes as one of their favorite green toys for 2008.
The toys that contend for the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio awards go through thorough testing with lots of children and toy experts. Cheekeyes met with glowing reviews wherever they went (my house included!).
With these high-quality, natural materials and prestigious awards, you might expect Cheekeyes to be outrageously expensive. But, for only $29.99 a set, Cheekeyes are an easy investment for what will become an heirloom toy in your family.
Oompa.com is giving one Mom Most Traveled reader a Cheekeyes set of choice!
To enter, look at all of the Cheekeyes playsets and comment here telling me which one you want to win!
One winner will be chosen at random.
This giveaway is open to US mailing addresses.
This contest will close on December 14, 12 midnight CST.
*Congrats to Jaye!*
