Stamford, CT (PRWEB) July 08, 2011

Pure Play Kids, the non-mainstream source for battery-free toys, plaything and products, is excited to launch three new wooden toys, designed in-house and manufactured in the USA. Pure Play Kids Wooden Toy Camera, Wooden Cash Register and Wooden Fire Truck are now available at Pure Play Kids and for selective wholesale. Pure Play Kids new wooden toys join a collection of other wonderful kid-powered toys in providing a safe, creative alternative to mainstream, TV- and movie-based toys.

The Pure Play Kids Wooden Toy Camera puts imagination in focus. Like all Pure Play Kids products, the wooden camera is battery-free, and kids love to take pretend pictures with it. Made of natural contrasting walnut and maple, the Pure Play Kids Wooden Toy Camera has a rotating lens, a selection dial and a depressible wooden button.

The new Wooden Fire Engine Toy from Pure Play Kids features four removable peg people who ride in the cab and can climb the raised ladder to fight fires and rescue tree-bound cats. The bold red fire truck is made in the USA of domestic maple and allows children to create their own movements and sounds, unlike battery-powered toy fire trucks.

Pure Play Kids Wooden Cash Register is sturdily built to include a 10-count abacus, an opening money drawer, credit card swipe and coin slots. A wooden credit card and wooden coins are included, and paper currency can be downloaded at the Purely Playful Blog.

“The Pure Play Kids Wooden Toy Camera is a perfect example of the compelling toy philosophy that drives our business.” Says Tania Grant, CEO. “Pure Play Kids subscribes to the belief that the best toys are 90% kid and 10% toy because that allows imagination and creativity to flourish in children.”

“Pure Play Kids believes in filling unmet needs and providing healthy alternatives in the toy industry. Kids love to play market, and it’s great for their vocabulary, social and mathematical development, but there were no domestically-made, battery-free cash registers available. We decided to make one – the perfect one!” said CEO Tania Grant.

“Pure Play Kids Wooden Fire Truck answers a need we had as parents when our first child was one year old. Before he could talk, our son loved to make fire engine sounds, but the toy fire engines available made the sounds for him. Pure Play Kids fire engine toy puts the child back in control,” said Grant.

Pure Play Kids offers one of the largest selections of battery-free, TV-free, creative playthings in the USA. The company has a sharp focus on creativity, safety and natural materials. The majority of Pure Play Kids products are made in the USA, and the company also offers a selection of the finest European toys.
