Some of our favorite quality toys and tools come from Imagine Childhood.
I think it’s the combination of real and quality that makes us love them so much. They are the kinds of toys and non-toys we really want our children to have. Heck, they are the kinds of things we wish we had had as kids.
- Real telescopes (just simple and sturdy)
- Real baking dishes (just smaller)
- The most realistic stuffed animals (we love ours)
- Real porcelain tea sets (small enough to handle but big enough to use)
Everything I have bought from Imagine Childhood over the last year or so has become a truly valued part of our household. Appreciated for function, quality, and looks. I’m not exaggerating. This is the best.
Quality Toys and Tools for Kids
The drawing desk is something that sees use daily.
The little woodland twilight animal lights are magical and live close to each child at night.
The tea set is used regularly for tea parties with friends, both real and inanimate.
The baking dishes are used whenever we make muffins, banana bread, cakes, and pies.
The tabletop paper cutter is sturdy and easy to use.
Even the stuffed animals (“just toys”) are of the few that never go out of circulation.
They even come with us on camping trips!
I can’t recommend Imagine Childhood enough. I even feel a little evangelical about them. And I’m so happy and relieved that there’s a shop out there like this one to counter all the cheap plastic stuff out there.
If you can keep a secret, here’s what I bought as Christmas gifts for my family this year ::

They are a small family run business, have been Artful Parent sponsors off and on in the past, and this is a sponsored post (as always, all opinions expressed are my own).
