Rosie Hippo Blog Tour

Rosie Hippo began with a couple's love for natural, earth friendly toys. Some might call it the "old school" type toys where children are encouraged to use their imagination, something many toys on the market today don't feature. Kim Bloom purchased the company in 2008, due in part to her son's budding curiosity and her knack for child development.

About Rosie Hippo in Kim's(not mine!) Words
"At Rosie Hippo, you will find beautifully handcrafted wooden toys, toys made from organic fabrics, toys from individuals, companies, villages and cooperatives around the world, and books and games that stimulate creativity and independent thought. We offer toys that we hope will become family heirlooms….toys that will evoke a sense of fun, curiosity and wonder for that special little one in your life. All of our toys are produced under conditions that are fair to workers and kind to our environment. "

I also want to mention a little about the owner, Kim Bloom. She left the corporate world to focus on parenting and running her own toy boutique after surviving cancer. She has a devoted commitment to cancer, children's, and environmental foundations.

Alligator Pull Toy
Age Group: Toddler
Materials: Wood
Price: $20

Thanks to Buzz Mommy and Rosie Hippo, my daughter now has a new little toy to pull around. We always call it Allie the Alligator. As some of you know, my daughter's name is Allison. When you pull the alligator around, it makes a little clackety-clack sound. This toy is also very sturdy, my two boys have played with it many times, and it hasn't broken! Caleb and DJ are your typical rough housing boys who don't keep most toys in great condition for very long!
