Mudpuppy toys are thoughtfully designed and provide hours of fun for your little one! The folks over at Galison were nice enough to give me the opportunity to try a few of their items. My two boys were instantly captivated when I took them out of their boxes! I am a big fan of toys that encourage some level of thinking and imagination.
Mudpuppy’s “Little Golden Books” block puzzle ($13) was an instant hit. Each block puzzle contains nine two inch cubes that can be stacked or formed into six different pictures. And most importantly made from non-toxic inks. There are 13 block puzzles in all to choose from at the Mudpuppy site! I found myself playing with the puzzle while putting together the Pokey Little Puppy side which brought back memories of one of my favorite childhood books. This puzzle is definitely a keeper and will undoubtedly be a long time favorite.
Mudpuppy’s ABC Ring Flash Cards ($12) are versatile and great for travel or to bring along to restaurants to keep your toddler busy. The set includes 26 sturdy 5 x 2-1/4″ two-sided cards. On one side the letter of the alphabet in both lower and upper case and the animal it represents. And on the back more words that start with that particular letter of the alphabet. My boys have a blast with these and even made the animal noises to match. With 8 sets to choose from you will have no trouble finding something special for your little one.
Mudpuppy also carries a whole line of beautiful stationary. I love their butterfly stationary ($12). Each set contains
