With the whole lead paint fiasco, I often worry about the toys that I purchase for my children. I would love to have all wooden toys in my home, but find that hard to accomplish. And although sadly most of the toys my children play with are plastic and made in China, I am definitely a huge fan of safe, wooden toys.

The wooden dinosaur set from Cheekeyes is perfect for my son. He has such a love for dinosaurs and I feel good knowing that the toy is safe. The wooden set is of high qualtiy and very attractive with a bright color going down the sides of each dinosaur.

Cheekeyes also offers other wooden sets: farm animals, African animals, forest animals and polar animals. There are also fun accessory sets, sold separately, to liven the play.

With his set, my son is able to enter his own imaginary world and bring his wooden dinosaurs to life through hours of play.

Cheekeyes are wonderfully handcrafted and stylish wooden toys, designed with passion and made from the finest wood available. Each set is colorful and unique, with a style unlike any wooden set we’ve seen.

Each figure is done in smooth hardwood, with minimal use of paint for the face and on the edges of the animal. Animals sport a distinctive red cheek and painted eye (reflected in their name, Cheekeyes)

Testers at the 2009 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio have bestowed Cheekeyes its prestigious Platinum Award for one of this year’s best preschool toys.

The Cheekeyes will inspire children to use their imaginations for hours of open ended play. Create a colorful menagerie right in your own home and collect them all!

For your animal lover, we have the perfect gift for this holiday season. We are giving away one wooden animal set of your choice to one lucky reader, retail value $29.99. Please note that the accessory sets with trees, rocks, volcanoes, fences and gates are sold separately.

Cheekeyes is also generously donating a set to our Under The Tree Program.
