Though I must admit it's tough to be as plastic-free as I was before the baby was born....

I've always had a problem with toys and things made in china not knowing if lead paint and other chemicals are used. This is the first I’ve heard of dress me up organic products.

Use wool for puddle pads on beds, wool nursing pads, and wool diaper covers. We also use wool pillows and wool blankets -- no polyester, no fleece! You can also use wool felt and wool stuffing to make all-natural toys (like fabric cubes). Wool is a great plastic-alternative in the kid category.

I've made its with clay. It is absolutely safety issue for children. More than that, they are trying to create something themselves. Clay increases their sensitivity and motoric functions.

He was asking for a lego but I decided to give him building blocks made of wood instead. At first he was a bit disappointed but now he is just so fond of his blocks and the world he is creating with it. My son wanted to build things.

I have seen small kids even play with them. I had read somewhere the low quality plastics that these Chinese toys use are VERY harmful to the health of kids. Is that true??
