According to Safbaby.com, the "Baby Cuddles" line of the Madame Alexander dolls are both phtalate- and PVC-free. They are also reasonably priced. But they do not have organic bodies... I have yet to find anything that really fits the bill, unfortunately.

I found the keptin-jr doll. However, it was very fragrant when it arrived. I am not sure what the face is made of. Does anyone know about this keptin-jr. doll? ALso, does anyone have a suggestion? I like the joy waldorf dolls, the earth baby doll-jayden, and the under the nile-janie doll. However, my daughter has made it clear she would like a baby doll with a baby looking face. The last concern is price: Is there a doll that is not in the 85-165 price range? Thanks Theresa I have been searching for a baby doll that is phthalate free, PVC free, yet has a plastic looking face, with organic body.

One of our favourites is obviously Pooh Sticks over the bridge near our house - great fun for us all and no costs involved!

With my kids, I see so much creativity/use of their imagination, with just a stick, or a rock, or a leaf, in comparison to just a regular old toy. Love the pic of that sweet girl ;) I think it is just awesome.
