Over the years my mom has held onto many of the toys my brothers and I grew up playing with. The classic ones...created before technology, cords and chargers were even around. In fact, the playroom she now has set up for the grandkids is full of the toys I once treasured most. It's the highlight of any visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house for sure! It is my hope to create a space like this in our own home for the kids, which is why I'm always on the lookout for the finest toys that are made to last. Thankfully, I don't have to look any further than Maukilo.
Maukilo was born in 2000, when Alexandra Goedrich couldn't find any of the toys that she grew up playing with, here in the US. She began an ecommerce site and over the years, Maukilo has grown to offer a wide selection of wood and PVC-free plastic toys and games from more than 40 European and American based companies. Their goal is to provide toys that are made to last, so that any toy can withstand the test of time and be passed onto the next generation, which meets the company's motto of "Buy Once, Play Forever".
Every time I visit the Maukilo website I am impressed with the array of high quality toys offered. Designed for babies to big kids, Maukilo offers the finest wooden puzzles, games, books and playthings that are sure to suit the interests of children at all ages. It's a company that has gone above and beyond to not only provide well-made toys, but also those that exceed safety standards. We've had the opportunity to review some of Maukilo's amazing products, and I've learned that when it comes to finding playthings that last, they are a name I can count on.
I couldn't have been happier to learn we were going to have the opportunity to review Haba's Memo My Toys Matching Game.
Features/Benefits:
- Recommended for ages 2+
- 20 illustrated beech wood blocks (memory game)
- 2-4 players
- Made in Germany
- Helps build memory skills
As I pulled the pieces out of the box, I was instantly impressed with the quality. There are 20 beech wood blocks that are very durable and something I know will last us a long time. Since it's a game that I know we will get much use out of, this is very much appreciated!
I love how much time and detail went into each colorful illustration on the blocks too. Aren't they fun?!
The moment Kaelyn caught a glimpse of this game, she was very intrigued and excited to learn more. Over the past few months she has been very interested in memory type games and has always had a love for learning. I had a feeling the Memo My Toys game would be a big hit, and I was right! She absolutely loves it!! She and I sat down together and had so much fun (and have had several times since!). I enjoy seeing the excitement on her face when she finds a match!
I see her learning from this game each time she plays with it. It's great for helping build memory skills, matching, and we've also talked a lot about colors and counting while playing it too. Because it challenges her, it's something she does not get bored with. In fact, it's a game she pulls out almost every single day and will sit and play with for the longest time.
We're very happy with the quality and fun the Memo My Toys Matching game provides. Of course, as I mentioned...this is just one of many great toys found at Maukilo.com though. If you've never checked them out, I'd highly recommend it. With the holidays just around the corner, you're sure to find a vast array of high quality, safe and educational toys that will last for years to come.
