David and Adrienne are the husband and wife team behind Manzanita Kids. This couple designs and builds all of the toys from their home cottage workshop just north of Seattle. You can read all about how they made the change from 9-to-5 office jobs to owning their own business here, it's a very inspiring story.
Let's get down to the toys! The holidays are closer than you think, and these sets make fabulous gifts. Naia's favorite is the modular vehicle.
If it has wheels and goes vroom, she's all over it. It's a truck, it's a submarine, it's an airplane. My girl spends all kinds of time loading animals and gnomes into the vehicle and driving them around. And let me tell you, even though this is not what this toy was intended for... she likes to get in and on it and ride it around. She has put this lovely vehicle through the toddler abuse test and it's passed with flying colors.
Manzanita Kids also has a beautiful line of blocks, puzzles, and stackers. Using a mix of cherry, maple, and walnut the woods are lovely contrasts of dark and light. These alphabet blocks are a gorgeous example.
Manzanita Kids has an Etsy shop that many of you may be familiar with, but they have just opened their own online store as well. In honor of the opening of Manzanita Kids online, David and Adrienne are generously offering one lucky reader here a free modular tree house! (Giveaway only open to USA residents because of shipping.) This set is beautiful and original and versatile, there are so many different ways your kids can build this tree house.

I love the owl block set.
My son would LOVE these blocks-he is 2 1/2! I like the Tree House set or the Vehicals-sweet and way better to look at than bright colored plastic! :)
wow, all of their toys are incredible! The building sets are perfect and would be very nice to win. Thanks for the chance.
It's very refreshing to see toys not made out of plastic that foster imagination instead of providing unnecessary sensory overload. Very creative pieces.
My daughter is 21 months and is just starting to play with blocks. These toys are wonderful and I also appreciate the quality of materials as well.
I love all their modular sets, but I think this treehouse modular set is my favorite! Although, the alphabet puzzle is pretty darn cute also. . . Wow, thanks for this fun giveaway.

I love all wood toys, wood is forever. I know my 2 little girls would die for the castle - where does the princess obsesh come from??? But personally the rainbow puzzle looks like fun that would be dug out of the toy box over and over again :)
I love the architect building walls. The possibilities are endless!
The building walls are amazing. Such fun! Thanks for the chance.
I love the castle as I know my son Owen's little people and animals would have amazing times in there! A castle is so classic. Also liked their Facebook page. Thanks!
Wow - that treehouse is incredible (and the tree puzzle is so creative!) Love it.

I really like the Modtown Zoo, and School. They would be great for my 4 year old, but my 10 year old was standing beside me and oooing and ahhing.

While iI personally love the simple, sensory-rich beauty of the circular rainbow puzzle, I think I'd have to go with the Modular Castle for the sake of my bigger-by-the-minute lovies. ;) How cool is that?!

I like the Treehouse best! Now that we live on a place called Treehouse Farm we'd love an inside treehouse :)

My favorite is definitely the modular vehicle set but the treehouse set is wonderful too!
Thanks so much for the lovely giveaway! These are so beautiful we would keep them in our living. If we win.
I love how whimsical the shape of each piece is. What fun!
Their toys are all amazing, but I especially adore the treehouse. It's JUST what I've been dreaming about for my children!
These are beautifully crafted toys that teach while having fun. Wow! We try to Montessori at home because there are not any Montessori schools in our rural community. My son Everett turns 1 in October and I know that any of these toys, especially the modular tree house, would be a favorite for years to come. Thanks for the opportunity! -Jess
