Wow - such great stuff. Right now it is a toss-up as to whether the Buildable Treehouse or the A Simple Hearth is my favorite - I guess I will chose both, as my son and eldest daughter would love the treehouse and both my girls would love the hearth :)
Also, the fagus vehicle collection is amazing! Thanks for turning me on to this site!

Oh how wonderful. I think my son would love the Heirloom Rainbow Soft Blocks, he loves to put everything in his mouch now. Turned 5 months today! YEAH!!!!
I love the cute little blanket doll, but I think my favorite is the set of blocks. That picture makes me want to reach out and touch them : )
The large stacking rainbow is super cool!
I love the assorted vegetables or the assorted fruits!
It's hard to choose. I especially like the stacking rainbows and waves but the cars totally appeal to me due to my two sons who are obsessed with anything with wheels. But with a baby girl on the way I would love to win this giveaway!
Ashley
What a fun collection of toys! I like the speedy car the best. My son would love it! I assorted fruits and veggies are neat, too.
I love the Organic Woolen Lamb!
I love the lamb. I hope this isn't an April Fools joke!!
Great stuff! I could spend all day on their website! If I had to choose a favorite it would be the Leaf Press.

my three-year-old would go NUTS for the hardwood choo choo.

My favorite toys are the soft blocks--its a toss up between the heirloom rainbow and the nature inspired organic ones. My best friend is expecting her fist child and I'd love to get her some great toys like this for their little one.
-Julie P.
Oh, my! I love the travelling gnomes on their website. And the blanket doll is something I'm certain my 7 month old daughter would love for years to come. Lovely.
I love the play stands with arches and how the child is free to adapt it to what they want - my daughter would turn it into a house! All the houseplay toys are wonderful!
-Julie
Wow - the T and T giveaways keep getting better and better! All the toys are beautiful but how cute are those dolls by Bamboletta? That little guy "Francis" is about as cute as if gets!
Finally the world is catching up with our eight years of the "NO plastic" rule! I have book marked Natural Pod.....

The buildable treehouse is way cool! Altho at this point, the wooden ring rattle is a bit more developmentally appropriate. ;)
what a neat twist on stacking toys! i love the medium stacking waves!!!
I love the cardboard rocket! I admit it would last about ten minutes in my household!
I'd definitely have to say the Fagus Fork LIfter. I've been eyeing the whole Fagus line for some time... Thanks, Maureen (jnomaxx at hotmail dot com)

I love those wooden cars! My little one would love the Unimog.
Thanks for showing me these toys. They are awesome.
I'm getting ready to introduce my little guy to crayons and drawing. So the Stockmar Stick or Block Crayons are high on my list. As is the cardboard playhouse he can practice doodling on when he's ready.

Aw I love that site! Thanks for sharing it with us! I think I like the Simple Hearth best along with Wool Felt foods (can't buy one without the other=)
sarahmarie dot pemberton at gmail dot com
So cool! I love all the wooden fagus vehicles. And the stacking sets. And the fabric balls. I couldn't just pick one thing. I have a weakness for toys that I think are stylish, promote learning through play, and can be passed on to future generations. What a great company.
i love the colored blocks but my favorite is definitely the buildable treehouse.
Anna Sander
thing is great, but I love the soft blocks, the speedy car and your organic play doh....would love to win!!!
I adore the cooking set! Though the unimog is just as cool. Thanks for turning me on to this company! They'll be getting a lot of my business now!

The bath toys really caught my eye, I've never seen such simple and attractive ones before. The paddle wheel boat looks like something I'd like playing with!
I like the Oldie and Van wooden car toys. great site! thanks for the giveaway.

The Buildable Treehouse is so cool!!

Great toys!!! My favorite is the bamboletta dolls, especially Apple. Thanks for introducing me to natural pod!
Love the playstands with arches!
dansan826 at yahoo.com
The Natural Pod toys and products are really wonderful. When everyone seems to be trying to get back to the basics it is so nice to see these toys. Since I have 2 grandsons & 1 Granddaughter I like the Three Little Trucks, one for each. I'm sure they're going to want them all.

I love the Tree Branch Blocks! So fun to play with.
The felt food is adorable!
ohh i love the tool box, and the soft square blocks also. all their toys are great!
I can't pick just one!!! I love them all. So i'll go with the stacking rainbow.
what a great giveaway. I am all about the wooden stacking bowls and boxes. I also like the child's wooden bowl and spoon set. Perfect for my baby when I make her homemade baby food. I also love their xylophone. Compact and perfect.
I love the fagus vehicles.
My two children just love playing house so I would have to say the Play stands with Arches.
i love the Kathe Kruse - Nicky Baby - Light Blue. My baby boy is 3 months old and he'd just love this little toy.
Thanks for sharing this fun site.
I think the Elephant on Wheels Pull Toy is really cute. I can just imagine my little boy toddling around with the elephant in tow.
Molly B.
I would love the play silks! How fun for a child to play peek a boo or wear as a cape. Very nice. :)
What great stuff! The Squirting Frog Wash Cloth would make bath time lots of fun!
How lovely. The Organic Bamboletta Blanket Doll is amazing for a sweet baby.
I really like the Auris Stir Xylophone!

Well the bikes are exceptional, but I thought the fairy clothes line was charming.
i love the organic blankie dolls.
I love the Balance Board the most, but every stacking toy is adorable also.
I LOVE that speedy wooden car!

The play silks area beautiful and could be anything your child imagines.
I also like the Auris Stir xylophone.
I'm a sucker for a good stacking toy! I love all of them, but especially the rainbows.
Great stuff!
The Buildable Treehouse.
I just love the 16" Bamboletta Doll named Hillary. Thanks!
I love all the fagus toys - it looks like the type of thing that could convert my girly girls to tomboys!
Too cute! My daughter would love to have a Fleece Baby Doll Sling.
I love the organic blanket doll, and the set of blocks would be wonderful for the boy or girl we will be having in September.
I love the speedy car - it reminds me of one I had when I was little.
I heart the stacking rainbow toy...... not only does it teach colors but also shapes & sizes that fit inside each other, and of course stacking! What a great company! Please pick me! I have a 2 year old and one on the way, they would LOVE these toys. I might play with them myself too!
wow! everything on their site is so cool! I really like the xylophone though!
I'm all about Baby these days ... so I'm loving the Soft Block Sets and the Organic Woolen Lamb, so lovely.
Great site!
Cass
I love all the stackable toys like the colourful wooden rainbow and the stackable wooden blocks. They are so fun for children of all ages to play with.
-Kerry C.
What an amazing collection! I will certainly tell Grandma about these toys. Since the Fagus vehicles remind me so much of the wooden trucks that my husbands Grandfather made for him (though his were pretty simple), I vote these as our favorites, especially the forklift! My new baby girl on the way would certainly love the sweet dolls as well though. :)
I really LOVE Natural Pod. They have original and wonderful toys for boys and girl (and parents who won't grow up!)
I have to say my favorite toy is the Fairy house. I would love to get this for my girls, and create a fairy house on the tree in the front yard. It would be a delightful place for the fairies to have parties. Perhaps next Ostara I will get them one.
As for the giveaway. I must say it's perfect. My best friend is having a baby shower for her son in a few weeks, and I'd love to be able to give her the car for her son, and the balls. And I could keep the doll and the blocks for my 10 week old.
Great giveaway!
Thank you!
I love the rainbow block set. It is so simple and wonderful
I really like the stacking stone cave!
I love the "Two Play stands with Arches!"

It's hard to choose - but I especially love "A Simple Hearth". So beautiful and so much fun! Thanks!
myshadow28(at)aol(dot)com
I'm always saying that I don't want my house filled with plastic toys from China, especially as our first is on his way. But these toys I love and would buy for my little guy. I especially like the buildable tree house because it reminds me of the Swiss Family Robinson. Perhaps our little guy won't be deprived of toys afterall :)
I love all the Fagus vehicles- especially the crane!
What a great website. I have twins and triplets and they love games, so I really like the game fabulantis. It is a little premature for my triplets, but they love games.
Samantha
If I must choose...the wool felt fruit sets.
Definitely the choo choo is our favorite!
They have such amazing stuff, including some great games. But I know my daughter would be drawn to the stacking bowls, because she's at that perfect age. Thanks for the contest!
I first saw these wooden bikes with no training wheels in Germany and I think they are fantastic! My husband is a BIG cyclist, and this would be a fun baby/daddy thing for them to do together.
So, we'd choose the LikeaBike in forest. Thanks!

These are wonderful! It is so difficult to find natural/organic toys for kids! I think I like the Organic Bamboletta Blanket Doll the best.
I love the Kathe Kruse Nicky Baby dolls. It's a doll that my son can play with as we try to get him used to the idea of having a new baby in the house. I also like the Bamboletta dolls. Love the blocks and all the other toys!
Lovely toys! I have more than one favorite: blanket doll, treehouse, stackable rainbow, woolpets, log sailing raft, just to mention a few. Wonderful collection, great giveaway!
What a great giveaway! All the prizes are lovely. I like all the house play toys. My favorite is the Play Stand Sink. It is nice because you can add water and it doesn't take up a lot of room.
i love so many...but especially the buildable treehouse or natural barn. such fun toys that can foster so much imagination!
thanks for the opportunity!
elkesten[at]yahoo[dot]com

I have never heard of this company. I was just browsing the sight.

How wonderful, my son would love these.
My nephew LOVES trains! So the Hardwood Choo Choo is my favorite!

ihchicky [at] gmail [dot] com
OH wow a favorite? This is difficult. Id say Two Play stands with Arches because my daughter is forever building forts to play & camp in! Makes me think about Christmas gifts already....
The Organic Woollen Lamb would be IDEAL for my newborn nephew! After waiting ten years for the little guy, my SIL finally has her blessing! i may get him this for Christmas!
I just love the blanket doll! I think the velour would be wonderful to snuggle with and carry around. :)
I love the handmade Bamboletta dolls!

I don't know if I could pick one favorite...natural toys are a huge weakness of mine. I do think the Buildable Treehouse is super awesome! I have also been after my husband to try to build a playstand. I have also been wanting a sweet little waldorf doll for my baby. I think the Organic Bamboletta Blanket Doll is my favorite thing in the prize package.
My fav is the bamboletta blanket doll. Great giveaway!
Wow, this was so hard for me to pick a favorite. I love all the different kinds of cars. I recently learned about bikes like the LikeaBike on Sesame Street and have wanted one ever since!
jenniferhuff[at]gmail[dot]com
My little train lover would love the hardwood train.
I love the cherry rattle, everything is so lovely.
So hard to decide on a favorite, but my boy is a boy's boy and he loves trucks and vans and anything with wheels, so I think the van would be fun. I love the fruits and vegetables too though!
- Mary
I love the doll!!
