With recent news of high lead content and chemicals in plastic toys for kids, it is perhaps not a bad idea to look towards toys made from other materials.
How’s wood for example? I’ve never been a fan of wooden toys personally, until I saw this collection. It totally blew me away! Check them out yourself.
Wooden toys may not offer all of the same flexibility that typical plastic toys have, but they are also less dangerous. At least you don’t deal with chemicals and lead when you purchase a hand-crafted wooden toy. You can feel more confident and safer about having your child play with wooden toys as they are often created by local crafters or by companies that are more ethical than the larger toy makers.
Unfortunately I’m not able to ascertain the source of where these toys are designed and manufactured nor where to purchase them. Perhaps somebody can advise?
