With all the crazy recalls and questions concerning the safety of toys made in China (love their babies, not their toxic toys), I visited some web sites to research alternative sources for buying toys. As expected, prices are quite a bit higher, but these companies seem to be committed to selling safe items for children.

Some of my favorite non-toxic toys are made by Haba. Check them out.

What a great post - as we've been hit by so many recalls lately - especially Thomas. And how do you tell your 4 year old that James and his friends are sick. It was a very sad day at our house. So thanks for the links and for Rebecca's too.

Those are great site. I love how some of those toys are pretty simple and will require some imagination from the kid. And I find that that's what kind of toys most kids like.
How nice to post those sites! Let me reach down & take this "Made in China" block out of Kobi's mouth & order him something that wont give him lead poisoning. LOL!
(I shouldnt even joke about that... Im gonna go straight to H___ now!)
