The next gifts we are unwrapping are a mystical Unicorn, Pegasus, and Dragon from North Star Toys! YOU can win this as one of the great gifts from Group 4 and an identical one has been donated the Relief Nursery of Collin County in Plano, TX. 
The little Elves at North Star Toys are hard at work, especially at this time of year, trying to make sturdy, beautiful toys that will please boys and girls both young and old. The owners of North Star Toys have been an absolute delight to work with and truthfully, their toys reflect that. They believe that children deserve beautiful, functional toys.From the owners ~
At North Star Toys we believe that conscious parenting is one of the most wonderful and challenging responsibilities on the planet. It is our hope to support this important endeavor by offering simple toys that stimulate creative, imaginative play. We truly care about the toys we make and hope that they add to the nurturing experiences of childhood.
North Star Toys is also very conscientious about the environment. Being a family owned and operated business, they can make environmental sustainability top priority. They recycle both the paper they use as well as the packaging whenever possible and turn right around and print on recycled paper. They use vegetable-based inks for large printing jobs and their saw dust is used to supplement compost and for chickens. 100 percent of electricity that runs their shop comes from wind and/or solar energy. And their wood-scraps are even donated to schools for art projects and used for kindling - how's that for giving back?!
Each of these beautiful toys are loving created using only American hard woods then they use food grade mineral oil to finish the toys. That has to be part of what make them so beautiful! I have been so impressed by the wide variety of toys in their collection, all the way from their magic wands to a Nativity that would enchant children of any age.
My almost 6 year old daughter is a lover of all things fanciful like faeries and sprites so the Unicorn, Pegasus, and Dragon are a perfect gift for her. In fact, she has them on her Christmas Wish List! She said the Pegasus and Unicorn are "so beautiful" and "the Dragon isn't scary at ll...why he is a nice Dragon!" I cannot wait to see her face light up when she realizes she actually gets them for her very own. Each creature is incredibly well made. They are sanded and finished so that they are super smooth. They each have an attached part like their wings or horn and I have given them each a sound tug enough times to know they will withstand even her most rigorous inspections and activities. I am sure they will all take many flights of fancy together and continue to stretch and build her imagination for years to come!
