Wooden toys are more durable (resulting in less waste than their plastic counterparts) and biodegradable.  Good quality wooden toys also don’t contain PVC, phthalates, or other chemicals used in plastic toys.  I’m open to all finds and hand-me-downs, I often see these at thirft stores, garage sales, etc.  I’d love both infant and toddler toys!
