Holiday Shopping & Organic Products

December 19th, 2008

Holiday times are closing in fast and parents are scrambling to figure out what to spend their hard earned dollars on for children. What to buy though? While considering toys for the holidays remember that most manufacturing for children’s toys are not ecologically friendly and the toys contain varied chemicals in the make up of the product.How about organic and natural toys… they are out there and parents can feel good about gifting these environmentally and ecologically friendly toys.

Babies explore the world using all of sorts of senses, especially their mouths… Everything ends up in their mouth given the opportunity. Toys are included in this, and recently with the number of chemicals being found in Chinese manufactured toys, it makes us wonder, is there really a reason to worry about lead paint being found in a simple toy.

These toys are not as flashy but stimulate imagination and thinking in children. The educational system is not longer as focused on creativity, so start early at home. These are fabulous toys for interaction between mom and child or between child and child, with out the worry they will break the first time they are dropped. The toys have a substance to them that withstands lots of hard play for long-term fun.

Helping children to appreciate the difference between environmentally and ecologically friendly items is an important lesson in this rapidly changing time.
