My daughter is exclusively getting Plan Toys (eco-friendly wooden toys dyed with safe paint and not made in China). I am opening an eco-friendly products store and I ordered some for her.
I got her some things for fine motor skills (little screw on wooden pieces toys, cool water filled blocks, and these stringing beads) and I also got her a few play food items. I think she will be ready for those well before she turns 2. She is already copying most of what we do. She also got a rocking horse, but she isn't feeling it yet. I think she is too short. She can't even get on it.
I also got upper and lower case letters and some "fraction" puzzles because I have a limited budget right now for our Montessori home school supplies when we start and these and the motor skill ones work for that.
She just turned one and got some Green Toys (recycled milk cartons) stacking cups and a sand pail set. They were cool, too.
