Zoë b Organic Weekly on March 28th in Recycled Plastic Indoor Gardening Set by Green Toys:

With this Gardening set, your kids will learn how plant life begins. Young plant lovers can watch nature at work by growing a beautiful flower garden and fresh herbs in just days with the world’s most earth-happy gardening set.

It is available at Kangarooboo , a really cool store with a great selection of toys.

Apartment Therapy (Ohdeedoh) on March 27th in Green Ideas: Recycled Plastic Indoor Gardening Set:

While you’re waiting for the flowers to come up (like we definitely are), you and the kids can see some progress in just a few days when you plant your organic seeds in this recycled plastic gardening set from Green Toys. The set comes with nine pieces, and seems like a great way to get a jump on spring. Available right here(kangarooBoo.com) for $29.90.

Safe Mama on March 24th in Green Toys at KangarooBoo:

Turn pretend play, planet friendly! One of my favorite online shops KangarooBoo is now selling Green Toys, a line of toy sets made of recycled plastic (like milk jugs).

Cool Mom Picks on March 12 in Eco Friendly Dolls That don’t Look Like Eco Friendly Dolls (If You Know What We Mean):

There’s an extensive collection well beyond baby dolls (and well beyond white baby dolls) at one of our favorite toy shops, Kangarooboo. And the prices are way, way more reasonable than you might think at $31 and up. Whichever you love, you’re getting an heirloom doll with a bit less of an eco footprint.

Sara’s Toy Box on March 7th in Store Review: KangarooBoo:

Every time I take a look at the KangarooBoo website, there is something new. A few weeks ago, it was wooden toys from Estia. And then, there were beautiful French dolls from Petitcollin. This made deciding what to write about tough.

Apartment Therapy / Ohdeedoh on February 28 in Green Ideas: Petitcollin Dolls:

The dolls are handcrafted in the Lorraine Valley of France, in the last French factory for dolls. A variety of dolls are available here (KangarooBoo.com).

Cool Mom Picks on February 17 in Longing For the Days When We Wondered What the # Button Was For:

If you’re looking for a handcrafted wooden alternative, check out the sweet version from Estia, found at parent-owned toy shop Kangarooboo. While it may not be the bright rainbow toy of your youth, this phone still has the ever important turning dial - that will make kids of today ask what the heck it is anyway.

Feature on the Estia Rotary Telephone.

From Cool Mom Picks:

Continually asked for safe teething toys by parents, we’re always quick to suggest Sophie Giraffe, Vulli’s European fave for decades. But now the company has transitioned from the animal kingdom to the vegetable garden, with a trio of totally cute mushroom teethers that we spotted at CMP top shop, KangarooBoo.

Blue Chan, pink Pie and yellow Gnon (a play on the french word for mushroom, champignon) …

Thanks Liz!

Check out Chan Pie Gnon.

One of Australia’s top bloggers, Karen Cheng has this to say about us:

what I love best about KangarooBoo is that they specialise in quality wooden toys, they stock a whole range of cool European brands, a portion of all sales are donated to charity, and every toy has been hand selected, which means their range is excellent.

She’s also noted some of her favorite products.

Thanks Karen!
