#58 Wooden Teether's, Camera's + Educational Blocks

An exceptionally lovely friend of mine sent me a link for Little Sapling Toys today.
OH MY...

natural Bear Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural Monkey Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural Elephant Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural Bird Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural Hippo Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural Maple Leaf Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural Anchor Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural Giraffe/Alpaca/Llama Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural Duck Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural Airplane Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural Hedgehog Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers natural DSLR Camera Teething Toy - wooden teether for infants and toddlers
How on earth would you choose just one?! So beautifully finished.
All teether's are handcrafted from Hard Rock Maple a non splintering wood which is naturally anti-bacterial, non-allergenic & non toxic with no exterior finish but are instead sanded to satin smoothness.
They come in a cotton drawstring carrying pouch & have an option of being personalised with a name, as shown on the camera below.
Not be be outdone by the teether's look at these, which may very well be THE most awesome blocks in the world...
4 Personalized Alphabet Blocks - four piece natural colorful wooden Walnut, Cherry and Maple organic set organic Alphabet Blocks - 26 piece naturally colorful wooden Walnut, Cherry and Maple set organic BRAILLE ALPHABET BLOCKS - 26 piece naturally colorful wooden Walnut, Cherry and Maple set organic ASL Alphabet Blocks - 26 piece naturally colorful wooden Walnut, Cherry and Maple set
As you can see (among other options) they are available in a set of letters which only spells out a name, the whole alphabet in upper & lower case, the alphabet with braille & the alphabet with asl. Without a doubt another brilliant educational toy!
Last but by no means least...
organic Camera - natural wooden imagination toy Personalized Camera - natural wooden imagination toy with name
These ridiculously excellent cameras are made from Maple & Walnut,  finished with beeswax & jojoba oil.
Complete with viewfinder, spinning selector 'switch', a lens that turns to "focus" & a contrasting digital screen on the back they are obviously perfect for the serious young photographer!
Or *ahem* a not so young one?

Little Sapling Toys also have a blog, that so far I am really enjoying!
As if I didn't already think they were wonderful beyond belief? They plant a tree for every toy sold.

They're only $19 a pair, that's a pretty cute price tag too right?
Loving the fabric choices, i think the blue & brown argyle is my favourite.
Growing Up Wild shop is on Etsy & is another label with eco-friendly business practices.
Most of the fabrics are organic & the shoes come in a range of sizes from 0-18 months or 0-24 months, some  are also offered as a toddler slipper, with a number of options for inner & sole finishes. One of the options for lining is a bamboo fleece... I'd like that in my shoes... It must be like walking on clouds, yes?
