So my daughter has just embraced the wonderful world of dinosaurs--beyond Barney. This is a huge milestone. Huge.
To encourage her newfound love of the stegosaurus and the parasaurolophus and all non-purple dinosaurs, we've forgone plastic dino dudes in favor of something more natural--not to mention adorable. Anamalz has just introduced a line of wooden prehistoric creatures to its popular critter coterie. With super-bendy legs, tails, arms, and necks, they're perfectly posable and totally playable.
The eco-friendly factor here is high: every toy is handmade with sustainable maple (leftover wood is used to grow mushrooms on a farm) and painted with water-based child friendly paint, and the fabric on the bendy parts is azo- and formaldehyde-free.
You can find them at Moolka and Hazelnut Kids, and be sure to watch for a new super-detailed cloth playmat (that converts into a storage bag!) at Fat Brain Toys.
Lately, my daughter and her little brother have had a few tug-of-wars over the dinos--uh, not that that's what you're looking to have happen, but it does say something about the gotta-have-it factor. -Lexi
