Festive & Fun Forest Friends

Looking for a simple and fun gift for kids?
The Backyard Buddy Blocks – available from New York’s own Pink Olive – make
for the perfect holiday surprise for children of all ages. Who doesn’t love the
comforting familiarity of wooden building blocks – not to mention cheerful animal
graphics that are sure to inspire the imagination? — 

These eco-chic blocks feature six different animals so kids
can mix-and-match to make new creatures. Or, go with a more traditional approach
and put together six complete furry friends. With whimsical raccoons, squirrels
and foxes, no winter day will be dull or boring!
