We don't really "do" plastic in our home. Maybe 1 out of every 10 toys the kids own will have some part that is plastic (the wheels on a wooden car, etc.). But I have been operating under the, greatly mistaken, assumption that "if it is wood, it is good" and that just is not the case. I've been fooling myself. Now I am wondering how many of their "wonderful wooden toys" are just as tainted as the "cheap plastic" ones. His Thomas Trains that were recalled for lead paint are a perfect example. I thought I was buying quality when I bought them. :( These recalls have been a wake up call for me. We don’t really “do” plastic in our home.
