Eco-friendly Artistic Wooden Toys: Win A Set of Cheekeyes Animals

Posted by Debbie on Nov 24, 2008 | 200 Comments

Toy trends may come and go, but wooden building blocks are a perennial favorite for the preschool set. Spark even more creative play with the Cheekeyes.  These artistic wooden animals won the 2009 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award. 

Since the Cheekeyes are handmade from eco-friendly rubberwood, each set is unique. Adults will dig the sophisticated design and minimal use of non-toxic paint. Tots will have hours of fun building and destroying block cities Godzilla-style with the Dinosaur set or constructing barns and fences for the Farm Animal set. 

These heirloom-quality toys are elegant enough for nursery decor and durable enough to stand up to years of tough play.

Want It:
Cheekeyes are available exclusively at  Oompa Toys. Each set sells for $29.99. Accessory sets like trees, caves, fence posts sells for $16.99. (For 15% off use coupon code “Black2008″ and valid only on Friday 11.28.2008.)

Win It:
To win a Cheekeyes Animal Set, visit Oompa Toys and leave us a comment by 11:59 PM EST, December 4 letting us know which set is your favorite (Farm Animals, Polar Animals, African Animals, Forest Animals or Dinosaurs). Open to U.S. only.
