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!
ENTER TO WIN a Set of 12 Jibibuts from Noferin!
1) Sign up for our weekly newsletter (if you haven’t already!) We’ll be notifying the winner in our newsletter – so you need to sign up and receive next week’s newsletter to find out if you have won the set of 12 Jibibuts!

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.
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!
They are so adorable!
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 love wooden toys for my son and I just know he would love playing with these little Jibibuts. They are so cute!
My son is newly into pretending, and I think he would love this toy!
This would be a great creative toy for my toddler that is safe enough where she might be able to play with her 6 month old little brother. If not it would be a great hand-me-down later on in! I’d love to win one!
my Lilly just loves wooden toys, anything you can stack, and she has a doll house her poppy made her that these would be great in. they are so adorable!
I subscribed to the newsletter, what a great giveaway!

This is just so cute!! It would suit every age group. The older kids could trade them.
Small and cute. The perfect unisex stocking stuffer.
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!
who wouldn’t love a little palm sized treasure to hide in the most unlikely places? i’d crack up every time i came across them. (not so much, maybe, if they were underfoot.)
So cute!!!
who wouldn’t love a tiny little handful of a treasure to hide in the most likely places? i’d crack up every time i came across the little jibibuts (except well, maybe underfoot. not so funny.)
Perfect, My daughter will love them.
Stocking stuffers are the best part of Christmas! Seeing the look on a little one’s face as they pull out a surprise is the best moment. A stocking full of Jibibuts!! Wow, that beats a good lump of coal any day!!!
An imagination-inducing toy that is green? How fantastic would that be for any child!
Because they are the perfect size to choke on!
these would be great for both of my kids to pretend with. they love making up stories about the toys the are playing with.
These are so cute. Jibibuts would make the perfect stocking stuffers for my brother’s tot because I can play with them too!!!
wonderfull! toutes ces petites formes douces au toucher et qui s’embriquent les unes sur les autres tout simplement ! mon fils adore faire des pyramides et les ranger dans des boîtes ,et il aime particulièrement le toucher du bois, il serait aux anges devant ces adorables Jibibuts , c’est sûr! bravo à Noferin pour sa grande sensibilité.
I have been looking for the perfect gift for my nephew for Christmas and here it is! My brother is into green design and loves to find toys for his son that fit the bill!
because it is made of wood and does not contain BPA!
dope! wood is good
My daughter loves to play with little things like these – they’d go perfectly in the dollhouse she got for her birthday in August!
They are as cute as can be. I know our grandkids would love them as they enjoy blocks of all kinds! So much better than the plastic stuff!
Love these and know our grandkids would too. They are totally hooked on blocks even though they are eight and four!
because they look TASTEY AND FUN to a 2 year old!!!!
They are the perfect size for his little hands!
Because they are the perfect size for his little hands!
Jibibuts will be nice and cozy in my daughters stockings until christmas morning when they will be just scrumptious little things being adored and stacked on the floor then in their hands again and again!
Why would Jibibuts make the perfect stocking stuffers for my tot? Because it’s something that not even Santa and his lil’ helpers could perfect.
Funny thing- my niece walks around like a penguin. Imagine what she’d do if she saw these.
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!
This are the perfect companion to all the anamalz we have! my boys would love them.
These are just the cutest little things! My girls would love to find them in their stockings!
These are fabulous-looking natural toys. As open-ended playthings, they would inspire our daughter in her creative play, and with their beautiful colors, would undoubtedly make her smile. Happy-inducing, creative-play inducing toys made out of wood? LOVE IT.
Thanks!!
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.
i know these would be safe for my kids to play with, which makes them perfect stocking stuffers!
They are great not only because they are cute and sustainable but because they spark kids imagination!
My husband collects little toys in blind boxes and it would be awesome that my son could share in this same hobby with his dad!
These are perfect for my daughter, and the fact that their eco-friendly makes them even more special.
My little munchkin has been very good this year, and I know these would put a smile on her face:)
Jibibuts are not only perfect size for stockings, they are also the right size for tiny hands!!
My son would love all the little faces!
My son would give Jibibuts a wonderful home…and I’d love to give him such an imaginative addition to his more traditional little people and animalz.
My daughter has a basket dedicated to “small friends”; she is just a bit obsessed with fit in her hand figurines, dolls, and stuff animals. These Jibibuts would fit right in and become instantly treasured I’m sure.
Because december 16th is MY BIRTHDAY !!! y me encantaría tenerlos, i`m from Perú south america i`m a architect and i love this things…pleaaaaase! ME HARIAN MUY FELIZ
How cute! My daugher loves to play with the few wooden toy animals that she has. These little characters would be a wonderful addition to her green toy collection!
I could not guaranty that these would make it into my children’s stockings… I may have to keep them all for my own personal stash ♥
It’s perfect for little hands!
My girls would love to have these little pals to carry around with them as they toddle their way through our house and hide in all the little nooks and crannies they can find.
Kid’s heads are too small and incapable of handling this much awesomeness. Their tiny brains would explode. I am offering to save them all by taking the Jibibuts. Yes, that is right, I am a hero.
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!
Those are awesome! My two year old would absolutley LOVE these!!!
Creative, green, and adorable, the perfect gift!
My 2.5 year old daughter would love playing with these as she’s more into pretend play these days.
My Zoe would love these to play with and chew on but at least they are safer than most of what’s out there.
This would be a perfect stocking stuffer b/c when I pulled this up to see what they were, my girls pointed and laughed at the picture for 5 minutes. They will love these!!
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!
I’d love to see my 4 year old’s face when she saw these sweet little guys!
So nice….
These would be awesome for my little brother; he has a house full of plastic toys from well-meaning family members but he needs to know what stuff used to be made of – real wood.
Jibibuts are the perfect stocking stuffer because they are adorable and made out of a natural product instead of chemicals. That means they will not only be fun, but they will also be safe for my little darling.
These are fun, imaginative, safe and will surely be passed down to the next generation.
Awwww…..these are so adorable! My two year old would LOVE them! (So would I so we’d have to share…) He especially loves little characters to play with, not big toys. Things that fit perfectly in his hand. We only buy wooden toys for him, and these would be great!
She would love them!
My kids are both finally past the choking hazard stage so they can safely play with these cute little toys!
I would love to give them to my son for Christmas. They look so cute!
These little adorable creatures would make perfect stocking stuffers for my COWORKERS! Hey, I know they are marketed for kids, but I know my artsy adult friends would enjoy them on their desks!
These wonderful artful creatures would be so lovely treasures for years to come for our little baby girl. as her first christmas stocking stuffers, not only they can be displayed as artwork…stack and play outdoor on the grass with full imagination from the child…cutely pet and keep in little houses…they are little child’s friends, pets, and art collection. a wonderful first green and artful stocking stuffers. thank you for this introduction.
have the jibibuts been to germany yet? – my daughter and i would give them a lovely home and show them all the nice places …
they’re the perfect toys for me and daughter! i’m sure, none of us would get bored
pina + karlotta
These would be a great stocking stuffer for my little one. First of all, they’re super cute but I think she’d like them to inspect and roll around in her hands. I love that they’re wood in case she decides to taste them.
I recently bought some little wooden figures to paint and display only. They werent safe for my son who saw them and REALLY wanted to play with them. These would be so cute and safe. Cant loose with these little guys.
they are so cute-my granddaughter would love them, I like that they can be stacked-I could put these in my purse for her to play at church
My son would love these. It’s his first Christmas and he loves figuring out how things work already! So cute.
I would love to put these adorable Jubibuts in my daughter’s stocking this year. It’s a perfect stocking stuffer because they are so small!
These remind me of kokeshi dolls! My little guy would love to chew on these Christmas morning.
I love that these are not plastic! My daughter loves playing with figurines and would have hours of fun with these adorable creatures.
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.
All the little ones will love these cuties!
Jibibuts would make the perfect stocking stuffer for my son because they are adorable and he will love them!!!
My daughter loves wooden toys and she’s just beginning to use two hands to play with her toys. These would be perfect for my 8 month old!
There are so many things to love about these. I particularly like that my son wouldn’t be putting nasty plastic in his mouth. They look like they would taste good.
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!
Finally some wooden toys! A great change from the typical plastic “junk”!
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.
This would be the perfect stocking stuffer for my preschooler because Angie loves surprises and these little toys would be something fun that she has never seen before!!

Jibiuts are adorable AND green – the perfect combination for a childs toy! Perfect for tiny hands, budding imaginations and certainly for my miniature scientist. He is constantly inspecting and experimenting. I would love to surprise him with something that would entertain and develop his beautiful, little mind (and give peace to ours).
I would love to win this as my daughter just loves wood toys and stacking things.
