In an effort to make my life more complicated, I've decided that in addition to making 14th centuryish baby clothes for Charlotte for SCA events, that I want her to have reasonably period toys while we're there. Now, I know nothing about toys in period. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
But.
How hard is it, really? Start with nothing that requires a battery (people will thank you for it.) Next, eliminate plastic. Next, eliminate "modern" things - e.g. leave the wooden car at home, bring the wooden duck that Evil Auntie Sue gave her for Christmas.
So I rummaged around etsy, and found a couple of neat toys from Little Sapling Toys on Etsy.
I think she likes them.
Damn it
hawkyns , this is entirely your fault.

Cloth dolls, balls, hoops and sticks, wooden animals, toy swords... there's lots of stuff.
I need to make her some cloth balls and blocks, but I've only relocated about 40% of the sewing room. Soon.
Keep an eye out at Birka for Ann Catelli...her dolls are pretty spiff. There's a few things on Billie&Charlie. And some day I'll find pictures of this exhibit... saved the URL all this time...
