Tractors, tractors, and more tractors!

Ezra was in heaven the other day when there was a construction crew outside our house digging a trench for a new curb at the neighbors house. He just loves construction equipment, which he calls "tractors." The German company Plan makes wonderful wooden toys, and we be will starting a collection for Ezra this Christmas. If you would like to add to his set, he is sure to love the 9 construction vehicles offered here: Hearthsong.

Updating as we go

If you decide to get Ezra one of the items from the blog, please feel free to let me know. I can remove the item so that your gift is unique!

Daddy's Garden Helper

I doubt Ezra will be wearing a dress or pigtails when he helps daddy out in the garden, but this wheelbarrow will be fun nonetheless! Available at Magic Cabin.

Beach Toys

We will certainly be spending time at the beach over the years. This nice pail set is made of recycled plastic and comes from one of my favorite local stores, Blue Ridge Eco Shop.

Stacrobats & Magnetic Garden

How cool are these? I think Nick & I will love them as much as Ezra. They are made by a company named Kushies and can be found at babybecause.com among other places. Ezra can learn to garden with daddy! http://www.babybecause.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/3287930/vpcsid/0/SFV/32239

Melissa & Doug is a brand which makes nice and affordable wooden toys. We would love Ezra to get any (but not all) of the sets they make. These are just a few. Since cooking is such an activity in our house we want E to be able to play along as we cook! Locally, Shenanigans sells these, and Nature's Child sometimes has them too. Most toy stores carry Melissa & Doug products, and I've also seen them at the Carter's Outlets!

Bowling Time

These guys look like they would be fun on many levels. They are: Mon Bowling Nature from Latitude Enfant. I found these on oompa.com.
