It’s Good for Kids to Play with Their Food! Under the Nile Organic Fruit and Veg Toys
Organic toy manufacturer, Under the Nile, is banking on the idea that if children are introduced to fruit and vegetables during playtime, they are more likely to eat them at dinner time.
Under the Nile, manufacturer of organic baby and children’s clothes, recently added new fruits and vegetables to their 100% organic stuffed toy collection, called ‘Veggin Out’. From plump, purple grapes and fun size bananas to adorable strawberries and sweet tomatoes, every product is designed to help kids make a positive association with healthy foods.
When looking for a gift for a young baby there are many things to consider. For instance, if you are buying a gift in advance of the birth of the child, then you should probably consider buying gender neutrally. We all know that it’s possible to tell the sex of a child before it is born, but sometimes there are surprises and you really do not want to buy a baby boy something for a baby girl, or vice versa.
Whatever you’re buying, it’s worth considering if you can buy environmentally friendly items. Babies are massive consumers, so there’s never been an easier opportunity to contribute positively to the planet. Eco-friendly clothing, toys and gifts are all available from shops and online, so you can help reduce Junior’s carbon footprint, before they can even walk!
There are clearly some essential items that each baby needs, but these are probably best left to the parents. This allows you to focus on fun, enjoyable gifts for the child. However, I’m sure every parent would appreciate a baby gift that is useful and practical at the same time, so don’t rule it out altogether. 
Buying baby gifts shouldn’t be about price, but it’s worth considering that quality items often cost a little extra, but they do last – meaning the child can continue to enjoy the gift for much longer. If you can’t afford to buy a big, expensive gift, don’t worry, a small one will always suffice. However, if you do want to get a more expensive gift than you can currently afford, why not chip in with other family members or friends to buy a larger gift all together?
Two mums, Libby and Laura, had some innovative ideas of how to improve soft-soled shoes to better meet the needs of their babies. And so that is exactly what they did. The result is a fabulous creation – IsaBooties soft-soled eco-friendly baby shoes. read more…
From the moment that they’re born, children are mass consumers. The lists that you make of all the things that your new baby needs soon turn into the lists of all the things that your young child wants. Bringing your child up to be eco-friendly may be a little daunting, but it’s achievable because there’s more than enough help out there for all of us. Here’s just 5 of the many ways that you can have an Eco-Friendly child:
Are your baby toys and accessories completely safe? Three chemicals you need to be aware of – BPA, PVC and Phthalates
Consumers are very trusting of products they buy, naively assuming that everything found on the store shelves is completely safe to use. The fact is that there are many compounds and chemicals in commercial use which are subject to ongoing research and controversy you may not be even aware of. This is something to bare in mind when choosing toys and accessories for babies and young children because they are at a more sensitive stage in their development and particularly vulnerable to the effects of unsafe and toxic substances. Here we offer brief information on three chemicals known or suspected to pose health risks – BPA, PVC and Phthalates.
