Who would love this: Kids who love pretend play  

I have seen quite a few cash register toys in the market. This wooden one from the Thailand brand “I’m Toy” is one of the more sturdy-looking one which can possibly last for many years and be passed down to other families with kids in future. 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) Wooden Materials- just like most of the other “I’m Toy” wooden products, this cash register is made of durable and eco-friendly rubber wood and painted with non-toxic and child-safe paints. 

(2) Fun Features- there are few uniqueness in this toy: the buttons are press-able in a soft and slow manner (something which my youngest kid really enjoys doing); the barcode scanner makes a squeaky beeping sound, and the pullout drawer produces a soft and tiny bell sound when it is slammed shut. The microphone is bendable. My favourite feature is the re-attachable cloth receipts that can be rolled up at the holder. I wish there were a bigger roll of receipts as it is really fun to tear the pieces of cloth out from the adhesive snap. There are also a wooden credit card and some wooden coins for pretend shopping play. 

(3) No battery required- I love that we don’t need any battery to play with this set. 

It would be more “complete” if the cash register is functional with solar-powered calculator together with number-display, but these extra features are probably not necessary since the toy is already awesome enough.

Who would love this: Baby dinosaur lovers! 

I’m in my Dino-mood these few days 🤣. I have another dinosaur toy to share, but this is a much cuter baby version that me smile 😊. This is the Dino Sahara set, with two add-on dinosaur buddies from one of my favourite wooden toys brand from Thailand - “I’m Toy”. 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) Prehistoric Scene- the original Dino Sahara set comes with a baby velociraptor, a double sided tray with a desert landscape, two stones, a small cactus, a bigger cactus, and a volcano. I love that the set prepares a scene for a prehistoric imaginative play and story-telling. 

(2) Baby dinosaurs - We can also give the lonely dinosaur some friends, because the same brand also sells individual dinosaurs that match the design and materials of this Sahara set. In the picture, I have a green baby brachiosaurus and a blue baby stegosaurus added to the set. I am not sure about the actual habits and characteristics of these prehistoric creatures, but they do look happy and cute playing together over here. 

(3) Wooden Materials- The toys are made of eco-friendly, sustainable rubber-wood, finished with non-toxic child-safe paint. The toy is well-made and nicely designed. I love that we can move the legs of the dinosaurs. I also like the extra touches such as the soft and flexible felt-materials on the stegosaurs and volcano, and the double-sided landscape tray.

Slope Tumbler Roller, by I’m Toy

Nature/ Type:           Wooden Toy with tumbling-down fun

Rating:                     ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Recommended age:  3 year-old ++ 

Who would love this: Kids that love watching things dropping and falling down (gravity is fun!)  

I’m super excited to share about this Slope Tumbler Roller by “I’m Toy”. At first glance, we might think that this is just another ordinary ball-run sort of game. But wait till you see the surprises installed (swipe left to watch the videos!!!) 

Why I love ❤️ this toy: 

(1) The “Surprises”!!! We can drop the three balls from the top of the colourful rainbow slope and watch them run from one level to another. Now comes the “unexpected”. Pick up the cute wooden acrobat (the original set came with two of them), drop him from the top of the ladder, and watch an amazing stunt being performed where the acrobat does some somersaults and drops down in style! The surprise doesn’t stop here! Next, place the slope roller structure on its side, and watch the little bright red tumble bean rolls down the wooden step in great action and fashion! The kids giggled and laughed, and we had so much fun watching the objects tumbled, rolled and slipped downward three ways! 

(2) Wooden Echoing Sound: I like the beautiful wooden echoing sound when the balls run from level to level of the slope. 

(3) Cuteness! the red tumble bean is too cute! It’s smiling at one side, but gives us an “unhappy” face when it’s being turned around. 

(4) Wooden Materials- like most of the other “I’m Toy” products, this Slope Tumbler Roller is made of sustainable rubber wood, finished with non-toxic child-safe paints and lacquers. 

I love it!!!

Melody Mix, by I’m Toy

Nature/ Type:         Music

Rating:                  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Recommended age: 3 year-old ++

Who would love this: Music lovers who love to shake and strike and make beautiful sounds 

This is a rainbow-colour, 10-instrument-in-one music station. Melody Mix is a beautiful set produced by a brand in Thailand called “I’m Toy”. 

Why I love ❤️ this: 

(1) Neat Storage: I like how it has dedicated slots and places for each instrument, so all the items can be stored together neatly at one station. 

(2) Fantastic Variety of Sounds: xylophone, drum, tubular chimes, triangle, cymbal, bells, maracas, castanet, double guiro, and pair of rhythm sticks plus 2 strikers and 1 scraper. It’s easy to make a concert out of this compact array of music. 

(3) Colours and Materials. According to online information, this set is made of sustainable rubber wood, finished with non toxic child-safe paints and lacquers. An eco-friendly toy deserves a tick from all of us. 

There are quite many online reviews that complained about the xylophone being out-of-tune. Personally, that doesn’t bother me that much. In fact, the wooden echoey sound reminds me of the raw and heart-warming traditional music coming from a Burmese classic xylophone. I quite enjoy the uniqueness of the sound. 

So just one reminder to all: the xylophone is not in perfect tune. 

But I do have a little issue with the slots for the two rhythm sticks. The sticks keep falling out from the slots every time when I move this music station around. This is one design flaw that I would really love to see a fix. 

Enjoy the video and listen to the variety of sounds produced.
