AniMates - Eco and Econ-friendly

Do you ever get the feeling that you're toy shopping is sometimes more for yourself than your kids? When I was little, I loved animal figures. Turns out I still do, and thus my son has quite a menagerie, whether he likes it or not. (To be fair he does, and also has quite the vehicle collection as well - which I cannot claim interests me in the slightest). Of course, I prefer expensive wooden animals, hand carved in Germany, so I really have to restrain myself. But now, with the recent discovery of AniMates from ImagiPLAY, I can indulge away. Because for less than $6 one gets 2 of these lovely animals, male and female “mates.” Made in Sri-Lanka under fair trade practices, each graceful critter is simply carved from preservative-free rubberwood, and left natural or painted with non-toxic water-based paint. They also make complete animal sets!
