About Tree Hopper Toys:

"Since we opened our doors in 2010, our objective, other than creating unique toys that kids love, has been to produce goods and conduct business in a way that enhances the natural world in which we exist. By minimizing waste, using sustainable and local lumber, and using 100% non-toxic products for finishing (if any finishing product is used), we make every effort to make our impact on the environment a positive one."

When we received our Match Stacks and a Jalopy, E could not wait to play with them! She was excited and literally dove into the package!

E loves her "Shelly" Jalopy (pictured to your right) which she rolls around like a car. Each Hopper Jalopy is about 2 1/4" wide, 6" long, and 3 1/2"-5 1/2" and is perfect for your infant or toddler to grasp! Each Jalopy is super smooth and lightly finished with a 100% natural, custom beeswax blend. They make make great rattles, grasping toys, and are perfect for your little one to roll around!

Not only are Match Stacks a fun toy, they're a great educational tool that promotes memory, vocabulary, spatial skills, verbal abilities, and simple logic through play! Match Stacks are 16 wooden discs that include 8 designs. We have the Zoo Animals Match Stacks and E was pairing the animals in no time! We're also working on E's "words" and Match stacks are a great way to encourage her to use different words while promoting recognition.

Match Stacks are great for children of any age and there are a ton of ways they can be plated with. Flip Match Stacks over to play a matching game or you can even have your child sort by color, animal, or item. E also likes to stack her Match Stacks into small towers. There are so many possibilities!  

Another Tree Hopper Toy that I love and I know E would probably swoon over is the Hopper Horse, and old-fashioned Stick Horse (also know as a Hobby Horse). The Hopper Horse is made using midwestern Cherry and Poplar. It can even be personalized with your child's name! I'm such a fan of old-fashioned toys and I think it's wonderful how Tree Hopper Toys has brought this classic back to life and at a great price of just $59.99! 

  

I can't forget to mention Tree Hopper Toys Yo-Yos which are hand stamped and lightly finished with a custom beeswax blend. They're available in several varieties including an airplane, spaceship, and other great prints! My favorite is the Monster Squeeze which can be seen below!

Tree Hopper Toys would make wonderful natural gifts for any occasion and are toys that your child is sure to love! Make sure to connect with Tree Hopper Toys on Facebook to keep informed on products and promotions!
