I am starting to compile a Christmas list and I trying to select toys that are more eco-friendly. Can you recommend some toys that are eco-friendly and suitable for a toddler? TIA. 

DD#1 is 3! And LO#2 is on his/her way! Due Feb 26th, 2014.

 

BFP#1: EDD 5/7/2010 born on 5/20/2010. A little girl named Emily.  

BFP#2: m/c 10/29/2012 EDD was 6/21/2012 Baby Hope was 6 weeks 3 days. 

BFP#3: Twin B stopped growing at 8 weeks and 5 days. Found on 8/10/2014. EDD was 2/26/2014. Twin A is still doing great and due date is 2/26/14.

    DD loves Melissa and Doug toys.  Not all are totally EF, but they are definitely better than most.  We also love Haba and Plan toys.  Her favorite thing right now is a set of plain wooden building blocks.  She loves to build little castles and houses.  Books are always a great choice for us, b/c DD loves them and they will last for all our kids, then we can pass them on.  Consignment sales are a great way to be EF - the toys themselves may not be EF, but at least you will be re-using and we always seem to find things that look brand new.  Santa loves consignment! :)

    I just asked about this. Everyone suggested Melissa and Doug. I found a nice selection of gently used Melissa and Doug toys at a childrens resale shop. The toys were in great condition and finding it gently used was wallet friendly and made it even more green.

    My kids really like the Green Toys trucks. I also really love woman wood worker on etsy. Super cute stuff.

    I like Plan and some Haba (they're manufacturing some in China now so I watch for that) and I avoid Melissa and Doug because of toxicity concerns with their paints and also personal experience with their unethical (IMO) marketing. I basically don't buy anything made in China and avoid plastic and anything obviously mass-produced. Almost all of my daughter's toys are by Plan.
