As a parent, you’re probably concerned about your child’s education and health. So every time you step into your local mass retailer to buy a toy, you wonder if the toys are really safe (lead paint, anyone?), if they’ll fall apart after a few weeks, or if they’re truly educational as the manufacturer claims.
If that describes you, let me introduce you to KoboldToys.com, a fantastic online toy store. Kobold Toys was started by Carmina Valdizan as a brick and mortar toy store in Panama. Her partner, Ana Eiras, a mom, launched the U.S. based online store in March 2008. (You can read more about their startup at the WomenHomeBusiness.com.)
In the days of toy recalls, Carmina and Ana search all over the world for toys that are high quality, safe, and have high educational value. They also carry unusual toys that are hard to find anywhere else, and are on the lookout for brands that are eco-friendly.
