We just got word that Toys R Us is now carrying some natural wood toys. They claim that these toys are forest-friendly and bear the Forest Stewardship Council’s seal of certification.
While they only carry about a half dozen of these toys, they’ll probably add more as time goes on (and if they’re popular enough). Toys R Us also claims the items are chemical-free and crafted from replenishable materials.
The toys range in price from $9.99-24.99. There’s not much information there yet (on their site), as every description is pretty much the same marketing blurb.
Once we get more info – and maybe some independent reviews – we’ll let you know.

Awesome! Looks like the toys my sister and I played with when we were kids. My grandfather made them. Simpler times…
Definitely. I may just ask my dad to make some wooden toys for my little guy. Of course, it takes a LOT of sanding.
