Another local option is to buy from the various Steiner toy stores - I usually get my stuff online. They have integrated environmental policies in their toy making. Try for starters: http://www.dragonflytoys.com.au As for lego, my boys just love it and I can't stop my family from giving it to them for every Christmas and Birthday. I'm keen to find out about its chemical composition. I guess as peak oil makes itself felt, lego will become prized collector items! Hi Morgs & Rach – what a great find.

I'm not sure if there are any other nasties we should be avoiding. A good source of info on other possible toxins may be grist.org. Also the thinkbabybottles.com has info on BPA's in plastic and the effects this can have on babies, worth a read! I would contact Lego directly and ask about lead and BPA's in their products.
