Papo from Kobold Toys ~ Let’s Hear it for the Boys! {Review & Giveaway #15}

Kobold Toys is filled with fun toys that are meant to stimulate children’s minds through imaginative and creative play. They have a wide selection from around the world which they search high and low for the best toymakers with the highest quality standards. To help make shopping just a little easier there are multiple categories with which to narrow your selection such as manufacturer, age, gender, price range and even designs by country, just to name a few!

One of the well known brands that Kobold Toys carries is Papo, a maker of high quality hand painted figures like this gorgeous lioness with cub.

We got the chance to check out the hippo and tiger. As soon as my three year old opened the animals he knew what to do. While I would have thought he’d have the hippo eating the tiger, since the mouth is wide open and the tiger fits perfectly, Lucian had other plans. The tiger hopped on the poor hippo’s back and starting chomping away!! I was surprised by the weight of them and impressed by the attention to detail. These would make a great and affordable gift for any child with many only around $6 each.

You can also find other toys by Papo like this awesome Barbarossa Pirate Ship

and many different kinds of dinosaurs like this fierce looking Tyrannosaurus Rex.

This detailed Tyrannosaurus will make a great addition to an animal collection. Your child will never play with a finer quality figure! Papo’s Tyrannosaurus is hand-painted, finely detailed, and sure to be fun. This is one of Kobold’s favorites. The Tyrannosaurus looks incredibly realistic and has a movable jaw. It will make the perfect gift to any dinosaur lover or future paleontologist!

Kobold Toys also has many other brands of toys available such as Haba, Plant Toys, Playmobile, and Corolle. I encourage you to get lost in their selection!
