6 Non Toxic Wooden Toys for Babies and Kids from Etsy

When it comes to finding toys that are non-toxic, sustainably made, creative and fun - I always turn to Etsy. You can find the best toys made by artisans that have a focus on the environment and the health of your children. When it comes to choosing the right toys - my favorites tend to be heirloom quality toys made using sustainably harvested or reclaimed woods. The key is to make sure that the wood has not been sealed using toxic chemicals and instead with a non-toxic, food safe oil to protect the woods natural beauty. And when it comes to wooden toys, there are so many different options available. You can find teethers and rattles that are perfect for babies - carS with wheels and pull along toys that will entertain toddlers and games and manipulatives that are great for older children.

While browsing through Etsy today, I found a few wooden toys for babies, toddlers and older children - all of which are made using sustainably harvested woods that are finished using non-toxic oils. Regardless of your child's age, there is something here for all children.

P.S. Stay tuned next week for a Bannor Toys Wooden Blocks giveaway!
