Organic toys have been seen to be a better replacement for chemically or metallic coated toys. Organic toys are often made from wooden materials or soft rubber hence there is no need for any metal or chemical painting . This also means that common toy poisoning effects are prevented. Common organic toys come in from of building blocks, rattles, checkers, and organic cotton stuffed animals. They are environmental friendly and can be disposed off easily when they are faulty.
Organic toys can serve as a better replacement for your child especially those who love to play and even put toys in their mouths since no chemical harm can come from such practices. Organic toys remain the safest in the world. They are inexpensive and are much more durable than plastic toys.
Organic infant toys are free from pesticides, fertilizers, paints, additives, growth hormones, and harmful radiation materials. Medical experts have suggested that infants should be given organic food at their growing stages and such foods should not be formulated or offered them inside chemical plastic toys and materials to prevent contamination and to help them grow properly

I can honestly say that I have never heard of organic toys, though I can understand where Stuffed Animals and Wood (blocking games) toys would be considered organic and not harmful. Though even so a wood toy must be polished and made sure no splintered wood is on the toy so as to ensure that the child would not have their finger or worse their mouth hurt. While toys that are painted and that are made of cloth that is then painted are cute, I can agree that they are not the safest for children to use. Though parents have to watch the children either way to make sure they do not harm themselves by using them, even if they are for their age group. Parents should make sure the toy is safe for their age group, no matter if it's organic or not.
I appreciate this information though and it is something not many people would think of. With the lure of manmade items, no one thinks of the danger of what was used (chemically) to make such alluring things.
Have a wonderful day.
