Toys... Eco-friendly

Interesting story and great website for those interested in being kind with the planet, whilst giving your children Toys to play with....


Rosie Hippo was born of a deep love for inspiring children's imagination and creativity through a carefully hand-selected collection of natural, earth-friendly toys. For 15 years, our mission has been to provide the highest quality natural toys to inspire and delight your children.
Rosie Hippo began in a quiet spot on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, started by a young couple who had a passion for making beautiful natural toys for their own children. Each toy was built with love as they grew their business based on strong core values.
In 2008, inspired by my three-year-old son Ethan's delightful curiosity and my interest in child development, I purchased Rosie Hippo and I am thrilled to be the new owner! I am passionate about how children learn, grow and develop -- and about what types of toys and products can help encourage positive development of skills and values in all children. I believe that childhood is a time of excitement, enthusiasm, education and exploration, and that every child's learning and development is a special gift to be nurtured and enjoyed.
Although Rosie Hippo has moved from the West coast to the East coast, the company is still a family-owned and operated business and the vision has not changed -- to provide special, unique, high quality products to enrich the lives of children.
At Rosie Hippo, you will find beautifully handcrafted wooden toys, toys made from organic fabrics, toys from individuals, companies, villages and cooperatives around the world, and books and games that stimulate creativity and independent thought. We offer toys that we hope will become family heirlooms….toys that will evoke a sense of fun, curiosity and wonder for that special little one in your life. All of our toys are produced under conditions that are fair to workers and kind to our environment.
In this challenging, fast-paced world, many of us are looking for simpler times, simpler things, and more special moments with the people we love. The time spent seeing the world through a child's eyes and helping them to learn, grow, explore, and discover the world is just so precious. I hope Rosie Hippo can bring some wonderful treasures to your family for those special moments in your lives.
We hope to make a positive impact for our children and our planet, and hope you love our collection of toys and other products as much as we do!
Warmest Wishes,
Kim Bloom & the Rosie Hippo Family

Being back....!

Being back... You are all going to agree with me, there is no better place than the one that makes you feel fulfilled...  Well, I can say that having collaborating a while with Christine Lewicki - a great author, mother, mentor - has truly changed my professional and personal lives. Indeed, today I feel I am doing what I am supposed to do, what I was meant to do. And this is what I called being fulfilled. I am not saying I have achieved the success I am dreaming of but I can say I am on the path to achieving success just because I enjoy my life in all ways. Thank you Christine for the beautiful work you do with people. You are truly talented in finding each of our uniqueness and pushing us forward.
