Toys that matter

My nephew has more toys than he will ever be able to play with... and he is only three years old. Most are plastic, mass produced and purchased from some type of big box store. He seems to enjoy his toys - for at least a little while - before it breaks or he becomes bored with it.

What I love about Craftsbury Kids is that all the toys are handmade and constructed with quality materials. As Cecilia Leibovitz, the founder of Craftsbury Kids, puts it: "Rather than drown kids in cheap big-box booty, we say give them a handful of truly inspiring items that they will treasure, learn from and one day pass on to their own children."

My sentiments exactly!
