Stylish Toys

I'm no math whiz but here's a little equation that I'm sure you'll have no trouble with (whether you're a parent or not)...

Kids = Toys (LOTS of toys)

Can anyone relate? I'm not at all complaining. I'm very glad and thankful that my children have lots of toys to play with. Living in Saskatchewan means we have many house-bound days during the winter months and without a good supply of puzzles, dolls, blocks, stuffed animals, books and more we'd really be at a loss. 

You'll find toys in almost every room in our house. We try our best to keep them tidy and organized. We always do a clean up at the end of each day. Most of the toys I just don't want left out but there are a few that are actually pretty stylish. What makes a toy stylish? I'm sure people have different ideas on this, but for me, it needs to be made from some sort of "natural" material like wood, cloth, felt, or paper. Plastic usually doesn't cut it (although there are some exceptions). IKEA has some great options along with Dwell Studio (of course). 

Some images for you to see what I'm talking about...
