Classic wood toys that don't cost a billion dollars

I admit it: I am obsessed with wood toys, despite the fact that, cost-wise, I can get a gazillion plastic toys for one fab wooden toy. Wood is a little more mainstream now in the world of baby toys, but I find the prices haven't decreased much. But CMP fave Skip Hop has been introducing affordable wood toys to the market...and I couldn't be more enamored.

  The latest Skip Hop wood toys, the Giraffe Safari line, have totally captured my heart. For starters, I am crazy in love with the origami-esque Fold & Play Book and want it for myself.

And the little Flip & Play Turtle? Adorable just doesn't cut it. I know without a doubt that she would have spent many a day in the special pocket of my diaper bag reserved for the most excellently distracting toy of the moment.

For toddlers, the Stacking Animal Blocks are incredibly sweet (and a pretty great price, too). The Nest & Play Blocks that also come with wooden balls that would have surely captivated my little ones for hours on end. Oh, how I wish Skip Hop's wood toys had been available when my kids were babies. Then again, my playroom would have been a lot more crowded. -Stephanie S.
