What I Like Safari Story Box by Begin Again
Thoughtful Product Design and Imaginative Storytelling for Today’s Kids
Brooke and I have been playing with her Lemonade Set by Begin Again Toys for almost three years and even throughout all its use, it still cleans up to look brand new. Considering how many other toys have come and gone in the same time span, I think it is safe to say that quality-made imaginative play toys are ones that last. Begin Again Toys has continued to introduce new eco-friendly educational children’s toys although I fell behind on keeping up somewhere in the middle of Brie’s birth, I am getting back on track since our youngest has become a sturdy toddler who likes to keep busy! Begin Again has some awesome new story boxes perfect for both our girls to play and learn together.
What I Like Safari Story Box by Begin Again is an all natural rubber word safari animal play set that teaches reading and animal recognition and actions. The set includes eight animal characters that includes the animal name written on the front of the animal and on the back it includes what each animal likes to do. For example, (front) “I am the elephant,” and (back) “I like to stomp.” The set comes in a wooden storage tray and the animals can pack flag for easy storage. The paper board safari landscape background is two-sided and stands up for imaginative play. What is really cute is that the animals can be arrange to create an eight line rhyming, Safari-themed poem! The What I Like Safari playset is recommended for ages 2+ and made with non-toxic, child-safe stains. This product is made entirely in the US of A and has provided countless hours of fun for the girls who will play with the story box together.
About BeginAgain Toys: BeginAgain Toys was created by two of the founding members of the battery-free all-natural Sprig Toys, David Bowen and Chris Clemmer. This Fort Collins, CO Company modeled and broke down their product line after the five daily distinct styles of children’s play (Artist, Writer, Inventor, Sportster and Hero) based on the writings of Benjamin Barlowe. Read more about their A WISH collection and background here on their website. I am also quite fond of their Cat Family Puzzle from their Artist line!
The BeginAgain workshop rules – “Ben’s 4 simple rules”
- Kids are the true noisemakers! No batteries, no electronics, ever!
- Share your ideas, then build. Collaborate, share, and build in partnership.
- Don’t leave a mess. Take OIL out of play, use plant based materials whenever possible and always reduce, recycle, and seek improvement.
- Great products have greater purpose. BeginAgain gives 1% to the community.
“Kids already have the best job in the world, to play. It’s full time work and the way they play shapes the way they grow. The toy box is the child’s first tool box. Toys are meant to inspire kids to draw, build, explore, tell stories, play games, and ultimately save the day.” – Benjamin Barlowe, Inventor and Science Digest, 1959.
