This website was recommended on a list I was on, and when I checked it out I was WOW-ed. Even my inlaws were WOW-ed and they are some of the most discriminating consumers I know (in a good way!).
A Toy Garden is filled with lots of thoughtfully chosen options. If you are looking to start avoiding plastic toys from China that seem to be meriting recall after recall these days this site is worth checking out. Or if you are like me and just prefer toys that challenge the kids in your life to use their imagination, and want to give gifts that are unlikely to be duplicates and are sure to spark conversation this might be a perfect resource. It also allows you to create a wishlist which might be a great way to help extended family choose a perfect gift.
I just ordered fundanas for my neices - they are bandanas with games on them that challenge kids go outside and hunt for seasonable objects, and use found objects like pebbles or acorns to mark your progress. It would have been a fun thing to have in my pocket back in my outdoor leadership days!
