And by "green" I mean safer toys with NO BPA, PVC, other harmful chemicals, etc. I'm looking for some new toys for my almost 7mo to grow into. We already have the Green Sprouts stacking cups and really like them. I looked into Green Toys and love their selection, but they are full price on Amazon and pretty pricey. Do they go on sale ever?

Right now, she's REALLY into her Leapfrog table and somewhat into her FP Learning Home, but I thought she could use some more toys and it would be a good time to add some "greener" toys to her stash.

TIA!

Not sure if Haba toys are considered fully "green," but my 9.5 month old DS loves these Haba blocks, and they are most certainly a toy that he will be growing into:

He also really likes the Manhattan Toy Birdhouse

You mentioned that your DD likes the LF Learn and Groove Table--another toy by LF that gets daily play in our house is this LF Alphabet Spinning Wheel...

The prices do fluctuate a bit. I think I got the tea set for $7.99 last Christmas and the beach set for $11.99 earlier this year. They hold up really well!

I went ahead and paid full price for the tea set and both girls LOVE it. It gets played with every day, and was the only one that didn't leak.

Wow, those are great deals! Where did you find the tea set for $7.99? It's $23 on Amazon right now, and according to camel, the lowest price it's been is $14.50 in Sept 2010.
