Dot’s Toys selected the refreshed BRIO line based on play value, innovative design and unusual color combinations. Check out these details on seven of Dot’s Toys new BRIO introductions.
Squiddo
BRIO brings together a funky squid and ocean theme to magnetic push-and-pull play. BRIO’s signature beech wooden railway track is painted ocean blue for four fish to travel. Of course, the perfect place to store the fish pieces is behind the red zipper on Squiddo’s smiling face. 18 Months and up. $55.00
Frogster
Meet Frogster and his three baby frogs. The baby frogs have magnetic coupling buttons - found on all BRIO wooden railway - so a little one can make short or long vehicles. Frogster, the large green frog with bulging eyes and dotted tummy has a zipper to close a pouch that can keep the frogs in one place when they are not being used. 18 Months and up. $39.95
Darling
The sweet rosemal design on Darling, the soft white horse in this new set, recognizes BRIO’s Swedish heritage. This little Darling can be a tunnel for the horse cars (also with Swedish decorative motifs) or can be played with separately, just as toddlers do! Three little horses are included and can feed on the magnets on their mommy’s tummy or be pulled along by the magnetic pull cord attached with a soft apple. 18 Months and up. $55.00
Race Cars
BRIO’s race cars are now available in four colors including black, apple green, passion pink and classic red. The racecar driver is tucked in his seat with a chrome rollbar, sleek body design and white walled rubber wheels. Any toddler will want to see just how fast these babies go. And, guess what, they do! 12 Months and up. $9.95
Pull Along Engine
The new Pull-Along Engine from BRIO looks sleek and powerful. When pulled the wheels turn and the smokestack rotates, too. This classic design has a retro look which is accented with multiple coats of black enamel paint. 12 Months and up. $14.95
Colored Blocks
BRIO Blocks go modern with a trend-setting color palette that says “Baby, the world is not just primary colors!” This 50-piece block set includes a glossy finish of black, white, apple green, pink and red on 6 different shapes of beech wood. 12 Months and up. $26.95
Labyrinth
Labyrinth is really a combination balance and strategy game. BRIO developed this in 1946 and has sold over 3 million since.
