Anamalz Saving Animals



Even though Earth Day was two days ago, it's not too late to post about these cute little environmentally friendly guys called Anamalz. (Yes, that is how it is spelled.)

These wild anamalz, farm anamalz, and australian anamalz are one of the best toys I've seen in a long time. I love the fact they are "green" - made from renewable resources (like organic maple wood), non toxic glues and paints. Each piece is unique with it's own wood grain and markings. Not to mention they are all made by hand. Right, no machines involved, just people who give a damn about kids and the environment. Can you believe it? As their website says, "Give them the environment and the anamalz will roam." So true.

Anamalz Saving Animals is their giving back program: "anamalz has established its own trust fund committed to contributing funds to various wildlife organizations around the world." Tony.

I would be remiss not to point out that they spark the imagination of children of all sizes. Even adults find them fun to play with. Their legs are bendable, you can make most of them stand on one leg (see above pics), give them their own noises and voices, accidentally drop them from the counter (hey, they are wood), and now you can buy a CD to go along with them. The Anamalz music CD will get your kids grooving and moving. So, turn off SpongeBob (your kids have seen every episode 5 times anyway) and get your kids' imagination rolling with these "wild things"!

No batteries needed (even more environmentally friendly) and the price is right. For all this, each of these little anamalz costs only about $6 to $7 on Amazon. It just keeps getting better.

I think I could go on and on and on about this product. It is truly amazing and yet, so simple. After all you know the expression, Keep It Simple Stupid.
Anamalz. Go ahead, buy them all.
