Keep Your Kids Safe with Natural and Organic Toys and Games

Toys are an essential part of every child's development. I have searched high and low for a mixture of natural toys and/or organic and eco-friendly toys and games. I am sure you can find just the right natural toy or game for every stage of growth to engage your baby or child and stimulate their mind and senses.

Whether it's a wood toy with food grade paint, a plush animal made from bamboo or an organic cotton duck, you won't have to worry about the safety of your child's toys when you choose from the fine selection of natural and organic toys we have found.

Disclaimer: We are counting on the manufacturers description as to whether or not these toys are truly organic/natural toys made under strict standards to carry the name: organic, natural, or eco-friendly.

Melissa and Doug Birthday Cake

Description: This simple wooden toy fosters creative play and is a wonderful addition to imaginary kitchens everywhere. Use the wooden spatula to serve the cake and the fake candles to make a wish. This toy will make an excellent birthday gift for future bakers.

Review: Most children love to play in pretend kitchens with play food. They can spend hours creating pretend delicacies for their parents or stuffed animals to eat. There is a big market nowadays for play food and play kitchens but unfortunately much of it is made with potentially toxic plastics that could have BPA or phthalates.

Melissa and Doug is one company that makes wooden food toys that is not only more sustainable and safe they are some of the cutest sets you will ever see! One of their most adorable sets is the Birthday Party Cake. It is a colorful wood cake that is cut in slices and held together with Velcro. Kids can pretend to cut and serve slices to their party guests by using the wooden spatula.

The cake is adorned with delectable toppings such as strawberries, jellybeans, and gumdrops and has wooden candles to wish upon. All children love birthday parties so this toy creates a little bit of that magic every time they play with it. Every day can be a very merry un-birthday.

To keep all the pieces organized it comes in a wooden box for easy storage. Several of their sets come this way so it is really easy to stack them and keep all the pieces together. They are also very high quality. They won't chip or break even when played with roughly. They are a great value for a relatively low price.

Melissa and Doug Slice and Bake Cookie Set

Description: This colorful wooden set includes twelve wooden, sliceable cookies and eighteen toppings, wooden knife, spatula, cookie sheet and a kitchen mitt for safe, "low-calorie" play. The cookies store in a durable dough tube.

Review: Kids love baking cookies with mom. It only makes sense that they would also love to bake their own pretend cookies in their play kitchens. This is why the Melissa and Doug Slice and Bake Cookie Set is a big hit in our home.

The set is made of natural and sustainable wood and painted with non toxic dyes so it is much safer for them than the plastic toys and doughnuts you see in conventional stores. The wooden cookies come in a tube just like the slice and bake cookie dough at stores. Kids can pull out the roll of cookies and slice through the Velcro attachment pieces with the wooden knife and then place them on the little metal cookie sheet. From there they can bake and serve to all their family and friends.

The cookies and the separate frosting pieces come in a variety of "flavors" and designs. They can bake cookies with vanilla or chocolate frosting and then top with a coordinating colored frosting or sprinkles. The set also comes with a spatula and a kitchen mitt, everything a little baker needs to make some cookies. This set is great for creative play and it is an awesome value for the money.

Review: Many parents hope that their kids will come to love nature and plants. The quickest way to make sure they want to protect the natural world around them is to help them come to love it and all its wonder. Help kids get exposure to gardening outside is one way to do this but other we can't forget to bring nature indoors to.

The Green Toy gardening kit is a fun set for kids and beginner gardeners. It comes with 3 pots, a pea-pod shaped planter tray for the pots to sit in, a trowel, soil, and 3 packets of organic seeds (Teddy Bear Sunflower, Zinnia, and Basil). It is set is pretty easy to use and very attractive with yellow and green pastels and great design. This is especially amazing in light of the fact that this set, along with other Green Toys, are made from recycled milk jugs. They are not only great toys but innovative and planet friendly ones too.

To use the set just drop peat in the 3 pots, soak with water, wait 30 minutes and you are ready to plant the seeds. The pots do not have drainage holes so if your kids will be watering they need to be careful not to get things too wet. Parental supervision may be needed. This set look fabulous on the window sill of the kitchen or a kid's bedroom and helps bring a little nature inside for us to enjoy.

Automoblox Mini Cars and Trucks

Description: A reinvention of classic wooden toy car for the iPod age, Automoblox is a fusion of heirloom craftsmanship and ultra-modern styling transformed into a mix-and-match design system that allows kids to create their own unique car styles.

Review: Little boys usually love to take things apart and put them together again. They also usually love cars and trucks. Automoblox is a toy concept that takes these two ideas and puts them together to help boys (or girls) create and invent new vehicles. Usually creative building type toys are plastic%u2026it is just easier to make interchangeable parts in plastic than in wood. Automoblox manages to deliver a natural building toys made of wood and plastic, the best of both worlds.

The majority of the vehicle is wood that comes apart in sections and the plastic parts like the wheels, windows, and people are plastic and interchangeable so that with just a few cars or trucks you can create a variety of customized vehicles. You can alternate colors and body pieces so that the design possibilities are endless.

Both of my boys like cars like Automoblox cars and trucks. They can play for hours designing new cars and trucks. The quality of these cars is excellent too. These vehicles will stand up to rough play, even if they get sent crashing down the staircase at high speeds daily.

They get high ratings from me because they at least partially use sustainable materials. They are quality toys that inspire creative play, design, and imagination. The interchangeable pieces help with problem solving too. They have all the makings of an excellent toy.

    I am all for natural and safe toys for kids. Toddlers and infants have the habit of discovering the world through their mouth and putting everything in their mouth first, so these have to be the safest.

    It is good to know these toys are out there. I wasn't sure there was any toy safe for kids any more.
