To serve you better, I have moved Debra's List to a new server at
http://www.debralynndadd.com/debraslist/home
There is a lot of hand work I need to do there, so I am leaving this site up until all that work is done.
All new entries will go on the new site.
All the entries from this site are on the new site, but may not be formatted.
Thanks for your patience during this transition.
Debra :-)

The Wooden Wagon
A good selection of wooden toys and figurines, games and puzzles, dolls, and imaginative playthings. I love what they say about why they sell wooden toys and will not sell plastic. "Wooden toys have a wonderful power to awaken the child's imagination. They may not beep or speak or flash lights, but watch them in use, and you will see a child's imagination flourishing. With these toys, life is given by the child, not by a battery or computer chip. The simplicity of their design frees rather than restricts the imagination. Aesthetically wood is the perfect material for toymaking. Just as each piece of wood has its individual grain, so each wooden toy has its individual character. The child's senses are awoken to the natural world and stimulated by the variations in grain, texture, and smell of different woods. And wood has its own temperature, making it pleasurable to the touch. Finally, there are environmental reasons to choose a wooden toy: Wood is a renewable resource, whereas petroleum-based products are not. Our manufacturers use local woods where possible, frequently from the annual fell from European forests, and promote regrowth. The by-products of production can be recycled. Vegetable dyes and natural varnishes ensure that the toys are not only non-toxic, but natural as well. And a wooden toy can be easily repaired if necessary, or as a last resort recycled."

n Debra's List you will find more than 1000 links to products that benefit your health and the environment. After more than 25 years as a consumer advocate for health and the environment and looking for products to use in my own personal life, I know where to buy a few things and how to choose toxic-free and green products.
