I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100% regarding Toys From the Discovery Channel Store, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong

MC, I thought that the hard plastics for drinking containers (i.e. Nalgene bottles and the hard clear baby bottles) were the one that had higher contents of BPA. I read that the softer plastics (like #1 used in bottled water) is safer, if only used a single time (but not environmentally friendly!).

Great post! Blocks are both a eco friendly and incredibly educational toy. They last for years and can be played with in a variety of different ways.

In general it’s not the hard plastic toys that contain Bisphenol-A or phthalates – these are softeners used in soft plastic toys…but in general,I agree, natural is better!

Great point about the junk toys….many plastic toys have a short life span as well as a high breakage factor!Wood toys last and last
