Pigs on Wheeeeeeeeels

Pigs on Wheeeeeeeeels
Sure, siblings are going to have their own likes and dislikes, but overall, picking toys with a wide appeal that would have lasted through all three of my kids would have been one brilliant move.

So learn from my mistake, mamas, and snag one of these super cute new wooden pull toys from Manny & Simon. Constructed from post-industrial recycled wood and painted with bright, cheerful non-toxic paints, these little ducks and pigs and animals on wheels are great for little ones right up through toddlers.

There's also just something really cool about a pull toy that doesn't require batteries. Three cheers for imaginative play. -Kristen
