closeout sale on M materials  

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
www.LittleCityKids.com is closing and selling lots of Montessori materials at 25-80% off.
The materials are more for home use. The are not built as well as the Neinhuis ones, so they probably aren't idea for school use.

Some great deals, though!

Have you guys ordered from this place before?

I ask because I just got my package today (after ordering on Feb. 1) and I'm not very pleased. One of the items is missing (I just emailed them about it) and 2 of the other toys already need to be repaired.

My son is 15 months and I got him the:

Hammering Whale - Mallot head came off the rod, I will fix it with some wood glue
Geometry circle shape sorter
Geo tower - One of the sticks came off the base, needs to be glued
Primary color tablets
Small wooden blocks (these are very small!)
Stacking clown (didn't arrive in the box)

I guess they aren't as well-made as I expected. Also, the littlecitykids website doesn't say where the toys are made. I try not to buy made in china. It does say they "don't contain lead". The packaging from the toys I got (all except the color tablets) are all printed in what I believe is Chinese. The website listed on the boxes is http://gefa-toys.com - which is, big suprise, also all in Chinese.

Just thought I'd let you know in case anyone else was wondering... I haven't decided yet if I'm going to try to return any of it. I hope I get the clown though, I knew my son would like it - but now it's not on their site anymore so probably sold out. Ugh.
