Knoend Fava Rocker

First to recommend

Description

A smart and unconventional rocking chair, this Fava Rocker by Knoend is from the brand's Bean Rocker Series, designed for balanced posture. The low rocking seat is built for comfort and made with FSC-certified wood and an organic cotton cushion. For what it's worth, the manual is also printed on recycled paper.

Mobile Home Doll House

First to recommend

Description

Far less trashy than it sounds, the Mobile Home Doll House gives your doll house-loving youngster a chance to cart the place around. The house's blue exterior, played distinctly against the red interior, will undoubtedly say something design-related to your child's developing psyche. The piece is also made from 100% recycled cardboard, and 5% of all profits from the sale benefit Unicef.

White House Doll House

First to recommend

Description

The most basic of Doll Houses, this White House could potentially be a sad gift for child whose friends have Barbie-branded doll houses to go home to. But I like the idea of this house being a blank slate for creative house design. Let your kid customize this thing both inside and out.

Balancing Cactus

3 people recommended this item

Description

Back-to-basics wood toys haven't seen such as much in decades as they have in the past few years, which makes toys like this Balancing Cactus perfectly appealing. The simple game of skill requires that the recycled rubberwood pieces (colored with non-toxic paints) be placed atop the top-heavy cactus without making it fall over.

Balloon Powered Boat

3 people recommended this item

Description

There has been a sustained effort in trendy parenting circles over the last few years to make this kind of thing interesting to American kids (in the way that it hasn't been in 50 years). You might be surprised how fun a natural wood boat powered by the air from a balloon can be for a little kid.

Holztiger Tree Colony Set

Description

Wooden toys can be an exercise in bland playtime, but this Holztiger Tree Colony set has the kind of fun, handcrafted feel that kids enjoyed for centuries prior to Playskool. Made from hardwood painted with non-toxic water-based acrylic, this is nearly as safe as it gets.
