Paez

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

Come check out thease fun, funky, and insanely comfortable shoes. Paez offers an alpargata style shoe that is 100% Argentine. The Alpargata is a canvas shoe that first appeared in Argentina around the 1830s among rural workers. The shoe’s popularity quickly spread thanks to the alpargata’s comfort, convenience, and versatility. The alpargata was traditionally made only in black and white, but now, thanks to Paez, they are the most comfortable and colorful fashion accessory available. At first, I thought these shoes looked kind of ridiculous, but I am a Paez convert! I ended up wearing thse shoes during a two-day travel nightmare and was glad I did. They are super comfortable for both walking and waiting and they added some funky flair to my travelers’ style. When Paez says that they are 100% Argentine, they mean it. Not only is this Fair Trade company based in Argentina, they also produce all their shoes there, and only use products Argentine products. A word to those looking to buy alpargatas: Be sure to select a shoe that fits snugly. Because they are canvas, the shoes will stretch and mold to fit your feet within 6-8 hours of wear. A loose shoe could lead to uncomfortable blisters. Paez are currently available at kidoshoe in sized 13 – 6Y. Baby Paez should be available in the U.S. soon. We’ll be sure to keep you posted!

ITS OFFICIAL! THE TERRA TOYS TOP TEN LIST IS HERE!!!!

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

After many long nights of deliberating and hours of hard work, the Terra Toys TOP TEN Toys list is FINALLY ready to be released! The Terra Toys TOP TEN toys list is a compilation of each Terra Toys staff member’s favorite toys. Each staff member carefully hand picked their favorite toys in the store, and we all decided which of these toys would make it to the TOP TEN list. Without further ado, HERE IS THE TERRA TOYS TOP TEN TOYS LIST!

1. Perplexus – A hand-held, 360 degree 3-D marble maze in a colorful sphere. With one-hundred steps to finish, its incredible fun for  almost all ages! (recommended for ages 7-99)

2.  The Plasma Car- This amazingly easy wheely-car is one of the most fun rides you can have. Its 300 pound weight limit allows most adults to be able to ride it too! But its totally the life of the party for kids. With just a wiggle of the handle, the Plasma Car immediately starts going, taking you anywhere you want to go. And it sure makes impressive sharp turns!

3. Bananagrams- The PERFECT gift for the Scrabble or game lover! This fun and creative game is a fast-paced word-game based on forming your own crossword with all your given letters before anyone else does. When you do, you shout, "Bananas!" and the game is won! It comes in a cute little banana shaped bag, and is easy to carry and perfect for social events.

4. Zoomorphs- These crazy kits are full of all different kinds of animal body parts that you put together yourself! What makes it so cool is that the animal you create is totally unique and totally up to you. Because each animal part can be put onto the animal body in any place, you can make creatures with four heads and two tails, or two bodies and one leg, or any combination you can imagine! Plus, some kits GLOW in the Dark! Zoomorphs come in dinosaur combos, zoo animals, and more. Recommended for ages 4 and up.

5. Folkmanis Animal Puppets- Folkmanis is known for their great attention to detail, high quality plush, ease of use and functionality. Their puppets come in a great animal variety that matches that of nature. From ferrets to pelicans, these plush puppets are a great gift for everyone, especially people who enjoy performing.

6. Bubber and Bubber Tools- Not your average molding dough! This amazing stuff comes in 4 different colors and is non-toxic, anti-microbial, and NEVER DRIES OUT! It also has an tool set that allows for you to compress the bubber and cut into amazing shapes, plus the bubber cuts like butter! Terra Toys usually has out a demo of Bubber, so that everyone can see just how cool it is.

7. Rody- Rody is a inflated rubber horsey toy that can be bounced like a hop ball, but its horse shape allows for a better grip and easier transport. Rody is a great toy for stability training, because it teaches the rider how to balance in motion. It comes in a variety of bright colors and is great for ages 3 and up.

8. Green Toys Tea Set- This tea set is made of 100% recycled material and even comes in 100% recycled packaging. Green Toys company is an eco-friendly and high quality toy maker. The tea set comes in impressive colors and it is nearly indestructable. It can handle hot and cold substances, and it actually a pretty nice size for tea parties of any age. This is a tea set that will last forever. Green toys also makes other kinds of eco-friendly toys, from kitchen sets to trucks.

9. Spy Audio Car- The spy audio car is a pull-back car with a battery powered "spy"-microphone that rolls into rooms. It is connected to a headset that allows the listener to hear anything that goes on in the area where the car is. Little kids playing "spy" can evesdrop on the next room without being detected! What got it onto the top ten list is the spy audio car’s amazing range and audio quality.

10. Airzooka- Airzooka is a hand-held air-cannon that shoots a harmless Puff of air at any target up to 15 feet away. Its a great "gun" toy, because there are no foam darts to lose, not one can get injured from it, and its really fun to use on someone when they are unsuspecting! It also works great on cats and dogs.
