I love toys that are different from the everyday thing. Funky patterns, interesting sounds, creative fabrics; these are things that I really love in a toy. But it’s not always easy to find these types of toys in today’s world of licensed character toys and bells and whistles. The key is knowing where to shop. One great place to start is Kushies Baby online store.
Kushies Baby provides the best of the best in child toys and accessories, including clothing, bath products and more. They make everything themselves, and hold all their products to the highest standards of safety and quality. They have won numerous awards for their reusable diapers, toys and other things, and have been certified eco-friendly by the Canadian Ministry of the Environment.
One especially high point of the Kushies brand is their award winning brand of toys, Zolo. Zolo toys are especially designed to spark creativity, encourage self-confidence and build cognitive skills in young children. A toy that best exemplifies this high quality and ingenuity is the Zolo Boa.
The Zolo Boa has won numerous parenting and toy awards, including the iParenting Award, 100 Best Children’s Products of 2005 by Dr. Toy, and is Parents’ Choice Approved. The Boa is a play on stacking rings, but in a much more creative way. This cloth toy is a set of soft rings in varying sizes and a fun, bug-eyed pole to stack them on. Each of the rings is a different patterned fabric and features a different animal noise. When your child correctly stacks all the rings, the head at the top giggles to encourage self-confidence in the user. This toy helps your child build lots of skills, including hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and problem solving strategies.
Although my daughter is a little older than the target group for the Zolo Boa, I was so impressed by its quality and all the awards it’s won that I wanted to try it out as a possible gift idea, so I got one for my daughter to watch it in action. All the thought and attention that went into this toy just blew me away. Each ring features different fabrics and details, including different textures for building tactile skills in children. Although my daughter is a little too old to be fascinated with stacking rings, she loved the different sounds each ring made. She also really liked how the toy giggled at each success of hers.
The Zolo toys by Kushies will make the perfect gift this upcoming holiday season. Each toy has different and unique features, especially the Zolo Boa. Their toys inspire creativity and build cognitive skills while providing a great time for the child playing with them. The Boa is a perfect example of what Zolo’s toys are: great patterns, fun sounds and reinforcement for completing tasks. This holiday season, check out Kushies’ Zolo toys for any child on your gift list this season.
