Tree Hopper Toys’ Jalopies Invite Tots to Rattle and Roll Naturally
by Marni Fogelson-Teel, 02/11/13
Family owned and run business Tree Hopper Toys has been cranking out interactive, eco-friendly goods since 2010 -- from blocks to Match Stacks, a memory game. For the younger set, they’ve recently debuted 7 different “jalopies.” Each jalopy is a rattle, grasping, and rolling toy, made from sustainable and local Midwestern lumber. And making these toys an even greener choice for your tots, Tree Hopper Toys is based outside of Chicago in an office, warehouse, and shop that is 100% wind-powered.
Tree Hopper Toys believes in letting kids get down to the business of play, and parents can let them rattle and roll freely knowing that this little company with a big green heart uses a custom finishing blend made with certified organic oils and 100% natural beeswax. Choose from a bear, a traditional car, a worm or two, a hedgehog, a turtle, or even a potato-shaped vessel, aptly named “Spud”.
+ Set of 6 jalopies (set does not include “Bear”) $80.00
