Kipod Toys at Beyond the Blackboard! How fun is it that "kipod" means "hedgehog" in Hebrew? All kits from Kipod Toys are made from natural and quality raw materials, which makes them a perfect feature brand for Earth Week. Kipod Toys are a wonderful, high-quality choice. Their focus on creative thinking, non-gendered designs, and imagination makes them an amazing fit for Beyond the Blackboard (and, we think, for your families)!
