This review speaks for itself!
"The Pop Up Lion brings a fun and adorable twist to the classic Jack-in-the-Box toy. My little boys face absolutely lights up when he plays with this toy! When I close the box, he starts tapping it until I open it up and the super cute king of the jungle pops out to surprise him. I really love the amazingly beautiful wood-burned design on the side of the box."
In ImagiPlay's words...
Kids are the future! If we're to create a brighter future for our world, we need to instill environmental awareness in our children. Green toys teach kids to think about where things come from and where they'll go—an early lesson in environmental responsibility and responsible buying.
ImagiPLAY is committed to the development and distribution of open-ended educational toys and children's accessories that inspire their imaginations, introduce them to the wonders of the natural world around them, and nurture their sense of discovery. We are equally committed to producing only high-quality products using materials and processes that show respect for our planet and all the people and creatures upon it.
Every toy we produce is earth friendly, child safe and people kind. That is our commitment to our children and their planet.
Child Safety
Child safety is our highest priority. We test every material and paint in our products to insure it meets or exceeds US and European standards.
Our Toys are Made from What?
Everything we produce is made from renewable, sustainable materials.
Rubberwood
Our solid wood toys are made from plantation-grown, chemical-free rubberwood. Rubber tree plantations have existed for hundreds of years in tropical countries. Rubber trees produce a sap that is used to make latex products. At the end of their latex-producing years (generally 25-30 years) the trees are harvested and new ones planted. The wood used to be burned, until people realized these wonderful trees had one more gift to give, that of their beautiful hardwood, which we use to make our hardwood toys.
Minimal carbon footprint
Every step of our toy production from seed to shelf is carefully thought out to minimize impact on the earth. Most wooden toys distributed in this country are made from Pine and made in China. The raw Pine is primarily produced in Canada, shipped to China where the toy is produced then shipped back to North America as a finished product! We see this excessive shipping as a senseless waste of natural resources. We select factories that are close to our raw materials to avoid this needless expenditure of gas, oil and greenhouse gases.
Our Toys are Made Where and by Whom?
We are proud to contribute to the growth of many developing nations by crafting our toys in small, mostly family run factories around Asia.
The rubberwood used to make our toys is grown in Southeast Asia, so our rubberwood toys are crafted in Sri Lanka, Viet Nam and some carefully selected factories in China. We have several factories in and around Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka. Our factories are placed close to the neighborhoods where our workers live. The majority of our factory workers walk or ride their bikes to work each day.
Bamboo is primarily grown in China, which is where we craft our bamboo boxes and toys and some of our Rubberwood toys.
We visit every factory to insure:
- There is no child labor
- Workers are paid a fair, living wage
- Workers are provided with a clean, safe environment to work
- Workers are treated with respect and dignity
- Only local workers are utilized
