Since the holidays are coming and everyone is interested in buying safer toys this year I thought I would share with you a list of a few of my favorite things.  Today I am focussing on one of my all time favorite online retailers Rosi Hippo's.  They are based in Washington State and they offer a wonderful assortment of wooden toys, games, music and art supplies.  I have ordered many times from this company since I started having babies 6 years ago.  Below is just an assortment of the favorite things I have bought for my family. You won't find any plastic stuff here nor anything made in China.  You can even sort by US made products or EU made products.

Remember - the prices might seem a bit higher than you are used to paying for toys but believe me the price equals quality and these toys will last.

Here are just a few of my favorite things from this store.  Have fun looking around.
