I don't like big, chunky, plastic toys that light up and make noise and roll around. Kids need to use their brains, not be constantly entertained. Plus, I really don't want to listen to "Old McDonald" on a nonstop loop all day. Yikes. That would make anyone go crazy.
They're more difficult to find, but there are quite a few non-plastic, non-noisemaking toys out there. I'll probably post them as I find them, but to start, here are a few of my favorite block sets. How cool are these??
Alphabet Box / Balancing Blocks / Face Maker Wooden Blocks (We actually saw these "Face Maker" blocks for the first time in Iceland. We both loved them, but saw no point to hauling them back home with us. A month later, we found out we were going to have a kid!) / Interchangeable Dovetail Animals / Wooden Animal Block Set
