Let’s think back to a time when children’s toys were simple…
…. Blocks, Puzzles, Books, Dolls, Instruments, etc …
I personally get sick of all the loud, battery operated toys. First of all, it’s a hassle to constantly replace the batteries, and secondly, they are usually annoying and over stimulating. Most of them end up in a toy box because they stop working. My daughter is usually the happiest with the simplest of toys such as blocks or even cups. She’s 14 months old and really into stacking and puzzle toys right now. Nowadays it’s hard to find safe, quality children’s toys.
It seems like we are always hearing about toys being recalled for containing harmful materials or unsafe parts. How do we know which toys are safe? And where on earth can we find them? Or, are they even educational? I’m so glad I discovered Oompa.com.

We recently received the Zoolino Stacking Pull Toy by Haba to play with. Haba is one of the toy companies that Oompa.com offers.
I love the colorful and whimsical beechwood blocks on the Zoolino toy. As soon as I pulled the toy out of the box the colors immediately caught my daughter’s attention.
The Zoolino stacking toy is made in Germany with water-based, solvent-free lacquers to ensure safety and color longevity. My daughter is in another “chewing” phase so I can feel safe if she nibbles on the Zoolino blocks.
Charlotte had so much fun pulling the blocks off of the toy one-by-one and putting them back on in her own order. She quickly realized she could pull the toy with her around the house and thought that was just the best thing ever. She got quite the kick out of having our dog chase her around the house while she was pulling the toy.
The blocks aren’t too heavy or sharp which is a HUGE plus! You can see in one of the pictures above how my daughter likes to try to carry as much as she possibly can in one load which usually ends in most of her toys falling on her feet.
The Haba Zoolino Stacking Pull Toy runs around $45. This sounds a little pricey but when you think about it, you are paying for a safe, well-made, heirloom quality children’s toy. You are paying for piece-of-mind knowing that your child isn’t coming into contact with harmful toxins.
