Where to Buy Nice, Good Quality Wooden Toys Online?

[fionas]

Guys, guys, I can't keep up!

As soon as I think I've finalised my wishlist then someone else posts another great site with more goodies!

Thanks for all your suggestions and do keep them coming.

Hey Fiona,

This is a little OT, because it's not an online store, but recently I came across a "free trade" toy store in Nicholson St, Fitzroy, just along from Scotchmer st, so it's probably not too far from you? The owner is gorgeous, and had some interesting & ethically sourced toys. I bought a lovely Tambour for DS's 1st birthday, which is made from recyled palm or something, that would normally have been burnt or turned into wood chips. Not super cheap, but then I feel like I'm making a better choice here than I would be if I went to Toys R Us iykwim.

ooooooh, so that would be somewhere near the Empress Hotel Janno? I tend to navigate using pubs as landmarks LOL.

Sounds good. I'll put it on the places to wander to list.

Sadly, these days I'm not sure about the pubs, so can neither confirm nor deny....mainly because I wasn't looking for pubs, and it's probably the first time I've been along that strip of shops ever. While I'm thinking of it, there was also a lovely book shop close by too, which had a great selection of kids books.

Lots of German made toys are terrfic quality- you'll find them on these sites and the same brands keep appearing. I have given you this list so you can compare prices and postage! GL
