Wood Baby Toys

[Josiegirl]

Is there any particular reason a lot of people seem to be switching to wooden toys?

Apparently I live under a rock!

There are probably other reasons but plastic isn't the safest of materials; there can be so many chemicals added to it. Plastic usually breaks easier. A lot of plastic toys have all kinds of bells and whistles to entertain a child while plain wooden toys need a creative imagination to make them come alive.
I'm sure others will chime in. I just like the Feng Shui feeling of natural wooden toys. And since I've slowly started decluttering/reorganizing my house and daycare, I want to have less stuff but stuff that will withstand the test of time.
