Jibibuts are a brand new cast of colorful wooden figures on the green toy scene, and we’re giving away a set of 12 Jibibuts valued at $108 to one lucky winner! These beautifully crafted, perfectly playful characters have made their debut just in time to fill one lucky tot’s stocking to the brim with new friends! Designed by Noferin, the artistic duo behind Pecanpals collectibles, Jibibuts were created for playtime, as opposed to being appreciated from afar as objets d’art. They are made from sustainably harvested rubber wood, and they measure 2.5-3.5 inches. Jibibuts may be stacked and stuck together to form sculptural shapes, enjoyed as new inhabitants in dollhouses, or simply toted to and fro in a pocket, joining all of your tot’s adventures!

This is our baby’s first Christmas and he’s not getting much from us– so his little stocking is going to be pretty empty! These would make for a fun Christmas morning… as long as he doesn’t eat them… :)

Jibibuts make a great gift, and not just because it is fun to say “Jibibuts!” when asked what the gift my little one received. It is great to have toys which are powered by a child’s imagination and can prompt dialog between parents and children about what the non sterotypical little critters are and where they came from. And finally they are really cute!

I would love to win a set of Jibibuts for my son. He has not quite grasped the concept of stacking yet (I know it is late), but when he does try to stack objects, he does not go for his blocks, he goes for rounded items and flat items and tries to put those together. I think he would be extremely intrigued by the various sizes and shapes and I KNOW he would love the faces.

I’d like to give these as a gift to my fellow designer and LEED study-buddy who has a toddler and another baby on the way. I think she’d really appreciate the ‘green’ aspects of the design – and find them as adorable as I do, too!

Oh, these are adorable! I have a two-and-a-half-year-old little one who is just starting to get into the whole “pretend play” thing, where his toys have conversations with each other. These would be perfect for him!

My little boy Kaz will love the Jibibuts, that’s for sure. Although 9 weeks premature, he has grown into this 18 month old enthousiastic little kid, always trying to figure out what he can do with everything he can get his hands on. Stacking and throwing (still :-) ) are the fun games at the moment, Jibibuts will be perfect for both!

My son about to turning 2 in Feb. This toy is such an ecological friendly and creativity toy I’ve seen in the market so far. This would be a perfect Christmas gift or birthday gift for him as we are saving money to renovating house from mold problem. As a parent, this is devastate time not to have much to provide to the child whom is growing fast.

My husband and are are Japanophiles, and these definitely remind me of some of their animaguri characters, so of course we’re hoping that our tastes rub off on our toddler. I can definitely see these hanging out under our Christmas tree.

These would be the perfect present for my 2.5 year old son and 7 month old daughter. They could play with them together, each at their own level, but still feel like they were playing together. I wanted to get her the Friends With You Wish Come True toys, but I was worried about her putting the plastic in her mouth. These are perfect!

These would make a terrific stocking stuffer for my tot because they are “green” toys and we are a Eco-friendly family. These would especially be nice since we don’t have any stocking stuffers yet, and sadly won’t be able to afford them this year. Our tenants moved out of our townhouse last week and paying 2 mortgages has taken up all of our Christmas money. Thanks for sharing these awesome new toys!

as someone who has limited space for toys, but also doesn’t want to limit the development & play of my son, i think these would be the perfect toy. jibibuts would be great for him to play with in our trailer on days when it’s too cold to go outside. what creative play these little wooden toys would provide him! they’re too cute! i can already see the big smile on his face when he sees these for the first time!

This Jibibuts set would be a wonderful surprise for my six nieces and nephews when they visit our home. Since my partner and I have no children, my sister’s kids always think we don’t have anything fun to play with when they visit. This set represents our commitment to honor all kids of diversity. These toys are not uniform or bland – and support sustainable forestry practices. They’re perfect for tiny hands, and wild imaginations. Great workmanship too.

I have a 6 and 2 year old who have been collecting blind box series for about 3 years now. Blind box toys bring out the child in all of us just like the $1 grab bags we had as a child. If I buy a blind box toy for my boys it takes all the self control I have not to open it myself. I like the philosophy of Jibibuts. Using older Rubber trees that are no longer useful. My boys would love these and they are not plastic! This is actually the first year I did not fill their stockings with blind box toys. I did not find ones that stood out until now! THey would love, love, love them!

Holy cow, why WOULDN’T they be the perfect stocking-stuffer? They’re so adorable, yet so impossibly expensive that to win them is the only way my tot will ever see them!

I truly do wish someone would explain to me why eco-friendly has to be so out-of-reach financially for the average person. It’s counter-productive.

Jibiuts are adorable AND green – the perfect combination for a childs toy! Perfect for tiny hands, budding imaginations and certainly for my miniature scientist.
