Crunchy Kids Toys - a list by mcmilker

About this list:

My Holiday Shopping List for the Not Quite Crunchy Parent - None of the toys on this list make the top ten lists, so you won’t have to stand in line! All of these toys promote open-ended creative play and unless you have very crunchy friends, you won’t duplicate something they already have.

Qualifications:

Parent, college educator, research nerd

Castle Fortress by Voila

First to recommend

Description

I love wooden castles. We've had two plastic ones that have lasted less than a year. Melissa and Doug also makes a nice one.

Playmobil Knights Tournament

First to recommend

Description

Playmobil is one of my favorite plastic toys. Unlike Action Figures and overly developed Barbie dolls, these figures are simple yet flexible. We have baskets of them and change their outfits and accessories to fit the story of the moment. I stay away from the larger castles and scenes, as like most plastic, they break into many peices.

I love Plan Toys for both boys and girls. You can't bite off the wheels or crack the body on these wooden vehicles - well, at least it's difficult!
