Earth Day Pick - Eco friendly wooden toys
On Earth Day or any day, I love the feeling a wooden toy creates; fresh, clean and perfect for a creative little mind. It's no secret we are fans of Little Sapling's all-natural wood toys. Now the husband and wife team, Nick and Kimber, have done it again with this charming little piece just added to their collection.
The wooden toy camera makes it pretty obvious why the Christensens have the top selling toy shop on Etsy. (Not that we don't have other favorites, of course.) It's an excellent, original gift idea for the kid who has everything or for your own little one who can't get enough of your new Nikon (back off kid). It can even be personalized to make it extra special for its receiver. All for under $35.

And did we mention that Little Sapling plants a tree for each toy sold? A gift for your little one, a gift for the Earth. Now that's a happy Earth Day!  -Stephanie M
