Deeds loves things that go “vroom”, and both love the e-Racer from HaPe’s Bamboo Collection.
I can’t imagine a cooler toy car!
Bamboo is an extremely economical and earth-friendly raw material.
Transformed into a toy, bamboo makes this car lightweight, smooth, and sleek!
The wheels are over-sized and seem to have silicone tire treads. The tires are well cusioned [...]

Founded by a Harvard-trained scientist and mother of five, The Young Scientists Club offers complete kits for children ages 5 and older.

I’m all for traditional toys; this set of maple wood building blocks from Haba put an exotic twist on an old classic!
They are called Russian Blocks, and the set consists of 55 pieces in 17 different shapes.
