SockMonkeys History
These handsome socktoys began to emerge in the 1880's as a no-cost plaything for children from inventive mothers in farming communities. The eyecatching redheeled woolsocks have been utilized in this uniquetoy by the Nelson Knitting Mills of Rockford Illinois since the 1890's as an offshoot of their sock manufacturing company.

Creating the sense of Enchantment for Your Child
Just from watching the theatrical trailers, I can tell that the sense of awe and wonder that your child will experience will be very exciting. There are so many wonderfultoys and playful machines that come alive inside the ToyEmporium and there are several playthings that will inspire your kids to no end.
In addition to the officialtoys that are bearing the "WonderEmporium" title, on this website you'll also find many of the interestingtoys that can be seen in movie. The sense of enchantment in the film'sEmporium is created through Hollywood magic of course, but there are several components of this magic that you can incorporate into your child's world.
The Sense of Discovery - We all dream of discovering something new, something magical. The WonderEmporiumfilm goes a long way in showing your children colorfultoys that they've never seen before. The magic is made through the presentation of oldschooltoys that still can bring marvelous and imaginative delight - A stark contrast to all the commercials your children see on tv.
Motion - The motionpicture is alive in moving playtoys and displays. MotionToys match your kids' energy for play and spark their imagination. Wind ups, pulltoys, balancetoys, paper and wood airplanes will allow them to express their playfulness.
Interactivity - Many of the playtoys in the MWEmporium interact with the characters in the movie. While most things that you purchase don't directly interact with your child, pop-up books, windups and legos can create a complete imaginaryworld.
Variety - The MagoriumFilm has colorfultoys of every kind. Toymagic this season seems to be focusing on the Past, with a surge of interest in windups, paperAirplanes, slinky and lincoln logs. In addition, carousels and ferris wheels offer an OldWorld feel.
Imagination - Frollicking scenes will certainly spark your kid's imagination. Pop-upBooks about space, castles, and prehistoric beasts will further the sense of wonder. LegoBuilding blocks can be formed in an infinite variety of ways and the Rubik's Cube is a great tool for developing problem solving skills. Continue to inspire creativity by participating in the reading of the books, and imagining new lego worlds with your children, and by encouraging colorfulstorytelling.
All of the things on this page are outstanding materials to assist in your child's sense of enchantment and fostering a love for creativity.
