Introducing MOLUK: Simple Toys for Tiny Tots #MBPHGG19

Thanks to PlayMonster for the samples. All thoughts are my own.

When my son was a tiny little guy, it seemed like every toy he was handed made sounds, had lights, and required batteries. I seriously contemplated asking friends and family members for battery-free gifts for him a few years in a row. The older I get, the more I realized that there is so much more to learn and so many ways to explore with simple toys that encourage children to use their imaginations.

We live in an age when it's so easy to just hand a child a screen for entertainment or learning purposes. For my own kids, I long for simple childhoods with endless hours of pretend play and far less worry.

One of the things that I love about my job is that I often get a first look at new toys. While my kiddos are growing up on me all too quickly, I still have a tiny little nephew who is just itching to explore the world around him. In an effort to aid his early childhood development, I wanted to be able to share holiday gifts that didn't have screens or require batteries- just simple items to spark the little guy's imagination.

PlayMonster presents MOLUK, Simple toys bringing kiddos lots of joy!
