Guidecraft truly has carved a niche for itself as Creators of Fine Educational Toys and Furniture. We love the Media Carousel we own and now their Noah's Ark Toy Box also takes a place of honor in Bunny girl's room.

Once again, the Toy Box required assembly but each part was clearly labeled and the instructions were provided stepwise in diagrammatic form.

We didn't have any problems putting the wood panels together.



The only part we did get a little stuck with was in putting together the cloud panel on the top and later the hinges but after taking a short break and having Hubby and Bunny girl go out for a breather, I did manage to figure out what had to be done.

Once Hubby and Bunny girl got back, they were greeted by this beautiful toy storage chest. Bunny girl loves this especially as it features one of her favorite Bible characters Noah. (Her only hold back was that Noah's wife wasn't painted on the box!)



I personally love three things about this box.
One being the fact that it is sturdy,
the next being that we finally have a place to stash away Bunny girl's board games



and last but definitely the most important, is the fact that the designers of this chest took the pains to ensure that a safety latch provision was provided to ensure the Toy Box's lid does not squish tiny fingers when opened or closed.

Oh and I have to also add that the painting on the box gives it the look of being individually crafted and hand painted just for the owner. (I think this adds to the value of the entire box)

If you haven't visited Guidecraft yet, I would encourage you to visit the online store especially if you're looking to buy unique furniture for your child's nursery or room. You can be assured of quality and a product that stands out from other regular kid's furniture retail stores.

In 1964, Jason Fein's father produced 10 products in his woodshop and sold them successfully to the market. 46 years have passed since then and today the company, Guidecraft, is owned by Jason Fein and proudly boasts of 580 educational products, quality furniture and beautiful wood crafted pieces.

I chose to feature Guidecraft's Moon and Stars Media Carousel in the Baby Bounty Bash because I firmly believe the love for books can be introduced to very young infants. We'd read to Bunny girl even as she was a wee little baby and today it warms my heart to see her ravenously look through books.

The Guidecraft's Moon and Stars Media Carousel would make a lovely addition in your little one's nursery and/or the older sibling's room. The design is very gender neutral and the functionality is so 'child friendly'.

The Moon and Stars Carousel weighs 42lbs and has to be assembled from scratch.



All the parts are separately packaged and identifying the components to be out together is literally a breeze.



Certain parts are labeled for easy referencing and if you follow every step of the instruction sheet, you will be able to put it together without a single problem.



We started putting together Carousel with hubby's help but then he had to take several minutes off to answer a phone call. Bunny girl and I decided to attempt putting the rest of parts together and surprised ourselves!



Bunny girl helped screw on the colorful pillars and hand me the labeled dividers



while handled tightening the pillars, screwing in the wood colored dividers with the mini screw twister provided.
(The twister actually works well. Looks are deceptive but this really does what it has to!)

By the time Hubby got off his telephone call, Bunny girl and I had successfully managed to put everything together. We just needed help to turn the sturdy piece over and move it into Bunny girl's room.

Ta-dah!!!....Isn't this beautiful?



With all the books placed inside this definitely takes the prize for really bringing an additional punch into Bunny girl's room.

The top of the Carousel is now a resting place for one of her favorite plush animals, Shadow.



Just for your reference, Bunny girl's strong Moon and Stars Media Carousel can spin on its rotatable base and holds 175 books of varying sizes and in board book format, paperback and hardcover styles. Its stands at 31" h x 19.75" w x 19.75", in dimension.

I love walking into Bunny girl's room and finding my little reader sitting on her colorful mat, with a pile of books fresh off the Carousel, flipping through the pages in deep concentration.

Priceless!
