Natural, eco, non-plastic toys?

[ecogreenmama]

Hi all - new and excited to be here!

I have a 5 yr old daughter...and we are on a mission to rid the playroom of plastic toys.  Where are the groups' fave sites to get natural, wood, eco-minded toys?  Compiling a list to give to the grandparents. 

Thanks in advance!

The magazine did an article on this last month (I think).  It provided all the links too :)

nova natural (for all sorts of things)

palumba (for dolls, kitchen, playstands)

a toy garden (for crayons, including the hard to find supplemental colors)

the wooden wagon (for ostheimer figures)

blueberry forest (for dollhouse dolls)

Even amazon has all kinds of things like plan toys, stockmar crayons, kathe kruse dolls, haba play food, and so on - many things even have free shipping.

Thanks so much for all of the suggestions! I also found these to be quite resourceful for dolls, dollhouses, puzzles and silks:

http://www.threesisterstoys.com (beautiful kitchens)

http://www.bellalunatoys.com (Doll selection is wonderful)

http://www.bestwaldorftoys.com/store.html (Nesting and stacking puzzles and playstands)

I like all of the stores thus listed.

Here are some more mainstream natural toy stores vs. primarily Waldorf natural toy stores:

www.moolka.com

www.maukilo.com

www.cowandlizard.com

www.kangerooboo.com

If I find something that isn't natural or ethically made I first ask myself  1) what is the specific value of this toy/object 2) can I make it or something with a similar play value/ what is the natural toy equivilent  3) can I find someone locally to make it, 4) can I find any ethical source for it?
