idbids is my kind of toy maker and well, it's locally owned so you know I think it's incredible. Their toys are creative, cute, and GREAT for the environment. You can visit them on the web here.
idbids has three basic toy characters, Scout, Lola, and Waverly. Their website says, "lovingly handcrafted using 100% organic Egyptian cotton which has been colored with natural organic dyes – no two are alike, just like children" Now when I read this I was pretty impressed because, well, I am an Egyptian Cotton fanatic and I also think the fact that no two of these toys are alike is a nice touch as well. The whole concept is a way to teach children the value of living in a green world with a field guide, completion certificate, and colorful story book as well. idbids is definately Rummage Pad material, I just wish there was a bit more variety in selection but hey that's just being picky :).
