@PBSKIDS & Whole Foods Market Launch New Tree Planting Initiative & New Toy Line

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Just in time for the holidays, PBS KIDS is launching two new lines of wooden and plush toys, available at Whole Foods beginning in November. 100% of the net proceeds from the sales will support PBS KIDS’ mission to help all children, especially those who need it most. Whole Foods Market will also donate one percent of total sales to Whole Kids Foundation®, an organization dedicated to improving wellness and nutrition across the country.

New this year, PBS KIDS will also plant a tree for every wooden toy sold. Families will be able to register each toy purchased from the line to have a tree planted on their behalf and receive an official PBS KIDS EverEarth Plant-A-Tree certificate.

Additionally, the PBS KIDS Aurora line of plush toys will feature a new lineup of animals, including a narwhal, flamingo and black jaguar. The toys feature fun, kid-friendly facts about each animal, connecting children with the diversity of wildlife.

The toys we received from PBS KIDS were so cute and durable! The wooden toys like the Farm Train Set and Fire Truck and Dump Truck Wooden Toys are so durable and will last for many years!

And the Plush Hedgehog is so perfect for snuggling while reading a great book!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

One of the toys I remember playing with the most when I was little was Lincoln Logs. Now I get the pleasure of playing with them again...with my children! My son absolutely LOVES his Lincoln Logs and loves being creative building buildings, towns and farms!

His birthday is coming up next month and he will absolutely LOVE his gift: the Grand Pine Lodge set of Lincoln Logs, one of the new additions to the 2014 product line!

LINCOLN LOGS, part of the K’NEX Brands family, the US construction toy company focused on Building Worlds Kids Love®, was developed in 1916 by the son of famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

LINCOLN LOGS is a classic toy brand that has been entertaining and teaching children for over nine decades. Building with LINCOLN LOGS sets helps children develop fine motor and problem solving skills. Known for quality and durability, LINCOLN LOGS has become more than just a toy brand… it has become an authentic piece of Americana

The Grand Pine Lodge allows children to build a lodge with an attached stable! The Grand Pine Lodge includes real wood logs plus colorful figures and play accessories and features cowboy and horse figures!

This classic Lincoln Logs set comes with building instructions and is packaged in a handy storage container for quick and easy clean-up.

Features:

• Build a lodge and stable
• Real Wood Logs plus colorful figures and accessories
• Cowboy & Horse figures included
• Handy storage container
• 100+ pieces

I love that Lincoln Logs are classic and timeless and made from real wood! I played with these toys when I was little, my son plays with them now and I am sure his children will too - they are so fun and have endless possibilities for creative play!

You can purchase the Grand Pine Lodge set of Lincoln Logs for a suggested retail price of $24.99 exclusively at Toys ‘R Us and toysrus.com.

Pull Along Shape Sorting Garden Truck

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

With winter coming to an end, look no further than French manufacturer Moulin Roty’s newest toy line, Les Cousins, when picking out what your kids will snuggle with this spring. Moms are sure to say merci and baby's little fingers and wide eyes will yearn for the soft plush and intriguing details of Madame Pivoine (Hen), Monsieur Potiron (Donkey) and Mademoiselle Paquerette (Cow). Rounding out the collection are beautiful wood and activity toys that are sure to satisfy vintage taste while delighting little ones everywhere.

Les Cousins du Moulin is a whimsical collection of farm animals with a French twist. European craftsmanship seeps into each plaything, including the enchanting Duck Ring Rattle ($25), Hen Lovey ($34), Activity Donkey ($36) and Wooden Stacking Hens ($30). New to American consumers, Moulin Roty's Les Cousins has been an instant hit in the United Kingdom and Australia.

Here in the U.S., Moulin Roty toys are getting attention with a nationwide feature on TV's The View last month, touted as one of six Best Toys of Toy Fair among the thousands of toys exhibited.

I received the Pull Along Shape Sorting Garden Truck for my children and my new baby (coming in July!) to play with!

Pull Along Shape Sorting Garden Truck

Make way for the garden truck "driven" by monsieur Potiron the Donkey. As youngsters learn to stand tall and walk they can add simple pleasures like a pull toy to help them focus on what's ahead and what's behind! Brightly painted and made of sturdy wood, this pull along has some sit-down activities including deciphering a square from a triangle from a star.

This delightful wooden toy from French toy maker, Moulin Roty is a perfect toy for a child to move from baby toys to toddler toys.

I love that this toy is made from wood instead of plastic and I love that it is not only educational with the shapes sorting aspect but also with the colors and the coordination it takes to pull it. The little shapes are so cute and whimsical and my children love it! I can't wait for my new baby to play with it after he/she is born! But for now, even my 4 year old is enjoying it!

Buy It: You can purchase the Pull Along Shape Sorting Garden Truck for $45 from My Sweet Muffin.
