The Playful World is self-described as "a toy company created to provide today’s children with unique, custom designed toys that are handcrafted by artisans in less developed areas of the world and purchased under fair trade agreements." What a wonderful mission statement for today's children! And what wonderful products they offer! The Playful World's current product lineup includes Soft Blocks made from wool in Mongolia, Animal Pals and Finger Puppets created from organic alpaca in Peru, and my favorite, Bowling Buddies which are hand felted, dyed and sewn by women artisans in Kyrgyzstan.
Most components of The Playful World's products are organic and incredibly fun for our children...and all are handmade. But most importantly, all are fun! My children are thankful for our wooden floors as they have been bowling through our house for over a week now...and not showing any sign of tiring. And their hand-eye coordination is really improving! Between the Bowling Buddies and our Wii, they're bowling average will be higher than mine any day now!
