Spark your child's imagination with creative wooden animal blocks from Oompa. Designed by the uber talented artists at Paris-based toy company Djeco, Creanimaux represents an imaginative step in children's blocks. 52 vibrantly colored wooden pieces can be used to assemble a hippo, lion, tiger, rooster, zebra, elephant, giraffe, crocodile, rhino or bear. The pieces for each animal comes in a zip-lock baggie so both parents and children know which pieces will create which animals & the best part is each animal is made up of a combination of colors to keep the attention of your tot!
After creating "traditional-looking animals," let your child use her imagination to mix up the pieces to make animals large & small, funny & un-usual. The chunky pieces make it very easy for toddlers and preschoolers to hold and stack. The design of the blocks are child-friendly and the deep, saturated colors are even and superbly applied to each smooth, wooden block. It's beautifully designed, durable, and will grow with your child.
We let a few children give the animal blocks a whirl and they could not get enough as they stacked the blocks to make the animals the blocks intended for and then let their creative little minds take hold! They stacked as many block as they could to make an unusually tall giraffe, created multiple-headed creatures and even made the most bizarre-looking animals by matching up the colors! There are endless possibilities & makes for hours of fun.
Creanimaux is made of solid wood with completely non-toxic, child-friendly paints and finishes. Designed by the talented artists at Paris-based company Djeco. We actually recommend this particular toy for children ages 2 years and up as young babies will just put the pieces in their mouths & won't truly understand the purpose of the toy yet. These animal blocks definitely top our list of unique toys. Get your child a set from Oompa.
