If you’re toy room looks anything like mine, you often find yourself swearing you’ll never buy another toy again. It literally looks like Toys R Us threw up in our basement and we’ve had to initiate the “one toy in, at least one toy out” rule to preserve any sense of order. I’ve become really picky when it comes to toy buying, but I have found one line of toys I feel is a must-have for every toy room.

I am totally in love with the Zolo collection from Kushies. Zolo is a whimsical, amazing, totally awesome collection of developmental toys, many of which have won various awards and I can see why. I received the Libro Ozlo, Linko, and Boa toys, and let me tell you they didn’t last 5 minutes in their packaging before we had those babies ready for play. What I love most about the Zolo collection are the textures and sounds. The Libro Coco had a teether, mirror, plastic picture frame, and lots of touchy-feely pages. And we even found out today it barks like a dog if you press the right page! The Linko is a wonderful change from your typical plastic links with three soft (and really fun) characters and numerous teethers, rings, and links in all sorts of shapes and sizes. And the Boa! We’ve happily “one toy outed” our old ring stacker in favor of this one with its squishy rings, each with a different sound and texture. My favorite is the chirping bird and mooing cow. The giggling head is just icing on an already fantastic cake!

As if their Zolo line wasn’t fabulous enough, Kushies’ also offers Kritters, a collection of cuddly, comforting characters, and everything you need for baby (blankets, bibs, bedding, and even clothing–love the Baby Paisley Girl’s Playwear collection!). With a new year around the corner it’s time to freshen up that toy room anyway. If you’re looking to declutter then look no further than the Kushies Zolo collection, because for every one Zolo toy in you’ll easily (and happily) take at least two or three toys out! –Emily
