Friday Finds: Wooden Play Gym

Creating a safe environment for our babies involves everything from the products we use to the toys we buy. Yes, even toys can be toxic! It’s important to invest in items you can trust, like this Wooden Play Gym from Finn + Emma. Asethetically beautiful and constructed with birch wood and 100% G.O.T.S certified organic cotton, this was made for the modern nursery.

Always remember, wood is typically better. The inexpensive plastics that most children’s toys are made with can burden our environment with more petrochemical waste, release unhealthy fumes into the air, and possibly exposure kids to unhealthy phthalates (toxic plastic softeners).  A The birch used here is not only more aesthetically attractive, but it’s finished with non-toxic stains and lacquers that are free of lead, phthalates, formaldehyde, and other harmful chemicals. Even the wooden toys are made from untreated indian hardwood and buffed with vegetable seed wax, while the hand-knit dolls are sewn from organic cotton and stuffed with sheeps wool.

Another great feature is the Play Gym’s endless versatility. Each toy is detachable, so you can interchange and constantly mix it up, or they can be clipped to a stroller or car seat so you can bring favorite buddies on-the-go.
