Sprig Toys - Where Play Comes Naturally - Dolphin Explorer Boat - Review & Giveaway!

Sprig Toys doesn't just believe in providing amazing toys for kids, they believe in toys that are all about exploring imagination all while being safe for our children and being safe for our environment. Sprig Toys believes in getting off the couch and having our children play and tell their own stories. None of their toys require batteries which means you don't have to worry about running out of batteries to make them work because the only juice these toys need are from the kids!
All of Sprig's toys are made of Sprigwood - a durable, child safe, bio-composite material and reclaimed plastic. They don't require fancy paint and they make sure to keep their packaging to a minimum.

Sprig has a series of toys called the Adventure Series. The Adventure Series are battery free and can been played on land and water. Take them outside, take them to the pool. Either way get off the couch and play! Not only does Sprig Toys believe in minimal packaging to help our landfills but they actually add cut outs that you can use for additional play.

The Dolphin Explorer Boat comes with a large explorer boat and a smaller rescue boat. It also comes with two dolphins- a Mama and baby of course! An adventure guide they call Captain Owen (we call daddy), and he comes with a hat, backpack, and a life preserver.

We decided to take our explorer boat straight to the bath tub. Its rather cold outside these days for water play and I had to toss all our bath toys out due to germs. As you can see Gavin had a field day playing with these toys.

His favorite of course was the main boat although he never put down "daddy". He loved finding the dolphins and having them swim all around the boat. I did expect them to float more since they were described as water toys. The boat sunk if it had any water go over the top which worries me a bit as to drying out on the inside. The pieces to "daddy" also sunk so we were searching for the hat and life preserver constantly. That didn't stop Gavin from having a fun time with these toys. He loved playing with them and they definitely kept him entertained without any other toys in the tub.

You can purchase the Dolphin Explorer Boat for $29.99 directly at www.sprigtoys.com
Sprig Toys has offered one J. Leigh Designz reader a Dolphin Explorer Boat for your little one to explore with!

Oh man - my son would love this! We have the Sprig Baja Scout. It's pretty cool how the headlamp can be powered by pumping the car and it's connected by a USB port. Very neat!
