Today we’re going to re-visit an era when “imagination” was the key ingredient to childrens’ toys; a time when batteries weren’t high on every parent’s wish list, a time when cartoon & television characters didn’t dominate the toy section of every store in town, a time when life moved a little slower & childrens’ imaginations roamed a little wider.

We’re excited to introduce you to Babalu, Inc., a company whose focus is on non-battery operated, classic toys for children, ages 3+.  Babalu started in 2006 with their award-winning FeltTales storyboards.  Allowing the children to illustrate their own story, FeltTales inspire creativity & imagination, something that we all wish our kids did a little more.

With many themes to choose from, FeltTales are perfect for boys or girls & many are ideal for boys & girls to play with together!  Imagine that…  Another great feature of FeltTales is the clear carrying case that each one comes in, with a sturdy plastic handle, making them ideal for kids on the go!

Babalu has also recently introduced several additional imagination toys, including Shadow Books & Building Blocks.  Shadow Books have always been a favorite in our house, so we were very excited to receive a sample of this product!  The boys loved hearing the story in the dark & seeing the spooky shadows that lingered behind the pages.  Don’t worry, the flashlight is included!

My middle son also enjoys playing with the “My Busy Day” Touch & Feel Building Blocks set that the company also sent to us as a sample.  The blocks have been a great tool for us to work with Alex on his speech & language development, while providing playtime fun at the same time!  With 10 blocks in the set, each one highlights different aspects of a toddler’s day.

What else is so great about the products that Babalu Inc., has brought us?  The fabulous prices!  With almost all products priced at $25 or less, these are the perfect gifts for all the smaller children on your list!  And you know these are the kind of holiday toy gifts that their parents will appreciate as well!

GIVEAWAY ALERT! One lucky BabyLuxe {daily} reader will win a FeltTales or Shadow Book of his/her choice by simply commenting back to us your favorite product or theme!
