Rosie Hippo Launches New Online Toy Store

Natural toy retailer Rosie Hippo launches new online toy store featuring quality, classic children's toys, books, games and nursery decor.

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 18, 2008 -- Rosie Hippo has announced the launch of their new Internet toy store featuring an enhanced line of natural, earth friendly toys, books, games, puzzles and nursery decor. Utilizing the tagline Inspired Children. Happy Planet., the new site -- http://www.RosieHippo.com -- offers toys that foster creativity, stimulate independent thought and are made in an environmentally conscious way.

Rosie Hippo was founded 14 years ago by a young couple on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington who had a passion for making beautiful natural toys for their own children. In 2008, the company was purchased by Kim Bloom, a Manhattan-based mom who was inspired by her three-year-old son Ethan's delightful curiosity and her own interest in child development.

"The time spent seeing the world through a child's eyes and helping them to learn, grow, explore, and discover the world is precious," said Bloom. "In this challenging, fast-paced world, many of us are looking for simpler times, simpler things, and more special moments with the people we love. Rosie Hippo toys nurture learning and encourage positive development of skills and values in all children."

The new convenient website is divided into easy-to-navigate sections that are searchable by category, age groups, skills, countries of origin and more. RosieHippo.com features handcrafted wooden toys, toys made from organic fabrics, toys from individuals, companies, villages and cooperatives around the world, and books and games that stimulate creativity and independent thought. All Rosie Hippo toys are produced under conditions that are fair to workers and kind to the environment.
