You have better prices on the automoblox cars than Ive seen elsewhere and were the first place I found to have them available in Canada. I was looking for eco-friendly toys with a good child safety record. Tammy from Victoria, Canada
I love shopping at Ape to Zebra! The selection is outstanding, the customer service excellent! I have told alot of friends about this store and now they shop here too!
Best of all I know all the toys have been researched and are "safe". I rather buy a couple of good quality toys that several "junkie" toys that just fall apart.
I look forward to placing my next order! Laura from Chesterville, Canada

Some great gift ideas for children between the ages of 5 to 8 years
For primary school children (age 5 to 8) we have a unique selection of high quality educational toys that makes gift giving easy. Our selection of children toys include a carefully selected collection of children books - by Barefoot Books. The books usually have a matching puzzle, story CD and/or hand puppets or finger puppets that children can use to play out the story or make up their own stories. These combinations make great children gifts.
Our selection of building and construction toys includes train sets, building blocks and construction sets by Heros (Brio compatible), gear construction sets by Quercetti and more.
Educational family games and board games foster learning and makes way for quality family time away from the television - a time to interact, socialize and learn while having fun! Children at this age also enjoy being creative and will spend hours enjoying pretend play. Creative play toys and dolls make perfect gifts for children between the ages of 5 and 8.
Between the ages of 5 and 8 children are very curious about the world around them, the why and how of things needs to be explained repeatedly. Providing them with age appropriate science kits and toys might just be the thing to inspire a lifelong interest in trying to understand the world we live in and how critical the role of science is in our everyday lifes.
We have a great selection of story CDs featuring master storytellers like Jim Weiss, Ann Rachlin and Robert Munsch. Children will enjoy hours of listening pleasure, going on imaginary adventures or romantic journeys. Listening to stories (some of the Barefoot Books have full length story CDs included) develops speech and language skills and enhances imaginative play and stimulates memory development. Our educational DVDs include titles by Magic School Bus (Scholastic), Read-Along (Walt Disney) and Beethoven lives Upstairs (Classical Kids).
