Manhattan Toy – Automoblox~ Let’s Hear it for the Boys! {Review & Giveaway #7}

Posted September 11, 2009 by Emilie with and 1,867 views | -

Manhattan Toy was founded in 1979, focusing on non traditional toy design and fabrics. This company values imaginative exploration, safety and quality above all else! Many of their products are exclusive and award winning!

Manhattan Toy has a great selection of boy friendly toys that are fun and unique. I couldn’t resist sharing a few of my favorites with you like this Droidmals Zowy Hand Puppet. I haven’t seen a larger collection of puppets anywhere and I love the silly design.

Another item that caught my eye is the Rumblies Felix Fire Truck, which is fabulous for the very little boys (12m+). Manhattan Toy Rumblies Fire Truck And how could I resist a robot as bright and colorful as the Beep Bots Robo?

For the older boys (6+) Manhattan Toy carries Puzzbits, a 3D puzzle art toy. I especially like the Puzzibits Monster Madness which is a fabulous value at only $10.

But in my opinion, the coolest boy toy found at Manhattan Toy is the Automoblox which we were fortunate enough to get to review.

Automoblox is an award-winning legacy toy line consisting of modular wooden vehicles that encourages young minds to build cars and trucks of their own design. These cars are constructed of high-quality materials and eye-catching colorful parts durable enough to withstand the rough and tumble play of adventurous young designers.

As amazing these vehicles look online, you can’t even get a feel for their quality, size and sheer awesomeness until you see them for yourself! We got the C9-S Sportscar in Orange Automoblox, since that is my 3 year old son Lucian’s favorite color.

As soon as we got it, my son who is slightly obsessed with cars, had a whole new kind of car to love. The workmanship is truly outstanding. It is a heavier weighted wooden vehicle that is so smooth and actually beautiful.

All the pieces come apart, including the wheels, and are easily put back together or can be mixed and matched with other Automoblox. This would make a very special gift for the little guy in your life.

Lucian loves looking at all the different colors and styles of Automoblox available and has already decided that he wants this purple sports utility vehicle for Christmas.
