@Lindsay Crawford, You're so welcome, Lindsay! :)

Ours was actually bought by grandparents in the US, and it's not a particularly natural one (though it is wooden). Have you looked into Baby Naturopathics? They're in Canada. http://www.babynaturopathics.com/

Hi Stephanie!

I just found you blog and I love it. Thanks for all of the awesome information.

I have been trying to find a nice wooden kitchen for my daughter that isn't full of fromaldehyde and I was wondering if you have come across one. I saw that you have one in your home for your kids. Any recommendations? I live in Canada so hopefully it would be something I could get here.

Thanks!

Great post, and great looking toys too. Toys are indeed so important in a child's development, so one must consider all aspects when choosing the right toys. thanks for this! .-= Andy@Children Bikes Kids Trikes´s last blog ..Ray Ban Sunglasses 3350 White Metal =-.

thanks so much for the information, it's funny how the important information is never stored inside as common sense. I enjoyed the tips especially on paint and it's toxicity, to think all these years of having these kids put their mouths on toys. .-= swat cats Tim´s last blog ..Swat Kats Episode 4 | S01E04 | S1E4 =-.

My kids have literally played for hours with a few sticks, pebbles, or a sand pit, or climbing trees. Why does play have to involve plastic with flashing lights and noisy sounds?

Our kids playroom sounds like the one in the article, loads of LEGO, blocks, handmade toys, wooden toys, soft toys, muslin play cloths and baskets of sticks, logs, blocks and rocks. These toys last forever, forget the plastic junk and opt for something natural and made lovingly.

You should also try and buy locally to reduce the carbon footprint of the toy.

I think we are going to be heading back to a time where the quality of the toys is way more important that the quantity. I think those who are crafty and can create will be in a good position to start a toy business creating those heirloom type of toys that we don't see anymore.

@Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home, Thanks for the reply! We will have to slowly introduce this to the family. One side of our family will be fine with it, while the other is extremely sensitive, so we will have to tread softly :)
