I never knew I could spend hours (literally) perusing websites looking for toys. Toys are toys, right? Actually, as it turns out, I do prefer a certain kind of toy over all others.
Eco-friendly!
That means wooden or cloth instead of (mostly) plastic. What can I say? I'm a little concerned about all the toxins that are found in plastics these days. Plus I think wooden and cloth toys will probably last longer.
The downside to these kinds of toys is that they tend to be a little pricier, like most things that are eco-friendly. Good thing there are inexpensive options.
So as people have asked, I've sent them to this website to get ideas.
Here are some of my favorite toys; I think Charlie would enjoy them very much:
1) Any block set:

I like the one above, because it's a wagon and a small set of blocks.
We already got Charlie this set of wooden blocks:

2) A xylophone!

3) A drum!

4) A duck push toy!

There are more rolling toys here.
And now, for some non-Oompa options!
1) I love the little stuffed toys this Etsy seller creates. I wanted the one shown below, but it's all sold out right now.

2) This Etsy seller has lots of play food options. I love felted stuff!

3) I like this trike. It's not the one I originally had in mind for him, but it's close.

So that's pretty much it. Can't believe Charlie's going to be one next month. Where has the time gone?

i gave my niece a very similar toy when she was 2 of a bagel, lox and cream cheese
Those are some really cute options. I particularly love the felt food. :)
