The blocks and fabric pieces can be a table or bed or whatever kids imagine."
And I couldn't agree more! My kiddos have always enjoyed building with blocks, and adding the adorable creatures and people into it makes it even more fun! All these quality pieces are surface washable and the products meet or exceeds EN71 and CPSIA safety regulations.
This is one of those sets you hang onto for generations! My mom and dad saved my brother and I's wooden blocks, from when we were little and now he and I get to watch our kids play with them when they are at NaNa & PaPa's House... This has the same feel to me. Something that someday I can bust out of a box in my basement for my grandkids to play with! 💕

ReplyDeleteYes, i did. I wish that we do give a chance for our kids to play and engage with such wooden blocks rather than electronic gadgets and toys.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this giveaway! I just think the roof of the MiO houses is so unique - no other block sets have that kind of hollow triangle.
ReplyDeleteManhattan toys promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths)... learn and evolve while play. Its so nice to find a well made quality toy like MIO... its definitely a win win for both parents and kids. Thanks for sharing the review and giveaway!
