Friends, I’m so excited to share today’s post with you. Like, so so so very excited.
This little collaboration can be traced back to when Piper asked for makeup for Christmas. Adam and I said no way. She redoubled her niceness efforts and asked for ‘play makeup’ instead. We said we’d think about it. Then I started shopping around and could only find bright, plastic-y, tacky options- no thanks. Have you ever tried to find ‘play makeup’? It’s rough out there.
Enter simple.great., my brother-in-law Patrick’s organic wooden toy company. I asked if I could commission a wooden makeup set and he graciously agreed. And, y’all, this all natural, wooden ‘play makeup’ is the best thing ever. Not only is Piper Jane absolutely over the moon about it, I love the natural aesthetic as well! It’s beautiful and functional- creative play at its very best.
Little did I know that we’d be receiving a whole box of simple.great goodies… like this wooden block set for Burke.
It is truly fantastic… like, Land of Nod quality. Again, it’s a win-win because Burke thinks it’s amazing and I don’t mind if he leaves it out in the living room when we’re having people over.
Just a few other simple.great things I love- this rolling wooden dog pull toy, these little trucks, tractors and tanks (the tank is Burke’s other favorite pick)… In fact, there isn’t anything in this shop that I wouldn’t be so excited for my kids to receive and I’m kind of picky about toys!
The best news of this post is that one of YOU is going to win a $40 gift certificate to simple.great. Just in time for Christmas… enter below!
I would buy that cute little rolling dog for my little girl or some cars and trucks for my boy.
