Food for Dane's imagination!

Especially in the last couple weeks, as Dane's been teething, I've realized the superiority of wood over plastic. Dane's favorite teether has not been all the bright, fun-shaped plastic freezer toys, but a plain, wooden spoon, carved by one of our parents friends. We made sure it was incredibly smooth, with no chance for splinters, of course. He loves it. We wrap toys around it, put bright socks on the end of it, and he bangs away, or chews the heck out of it depending on the day. Hence, I've been looking for more wooden toys with a little more lasting power than some of the other stuff we've gotten and I found these amazing German toys. Made by a company called Gluckskafer, they're beautiful and simple, things that will spark Dane's imagination rather than creating scenarios for him. Check them out!
