~Earth Week~Saturday: Shop!–My Favorite Eco-Friendly Kid’s Companies
I have an incredibly long list of my favorite eco-friendly kid’s companies but I’ll just share a few along with my favorite product pick.
Children’s Toys
When I don’t go with homemade gifts for Christmas and birthdays then they are most likely from Natural Pod. We love everything they carry from their organic play-dough to their art supplies. Natural Pod sells quality natural play items that support creative and imaginative play. I am currently in love with their all-natural musical instruments.
Children’s Art Supplies
Stubby Pencil Studio is the perfect place to find eco-friendly art supplies that are healthy for your children and the environment. We love their crayon rocks, which are made from non-toxic soy wax and tinted with natural mineral powders. Their smencils are made from recycled newspaper wrapped around #2 graphite and soaked in environmentally-friendly fragrance liquids.
Children’s Books
I love, love, love Little Green Books and their wonderful selection just keeps on growing! Their books are machine washable and made from 50% recycled material. They will help you as you start teaching your children about being eco-friendly. The books cover subjects such as improving the environment, learning about endangered animals, recycling and much more.
Children’s Shoes
Simple Shoes are a fave in our house. Made from Organic Cotton, I.S.O. 14001 Suede, Hemp, Bamboo, Recycled Car Tires and Recycled Inner Tubes, these shoes are also VEGAN shoes.
What could be better than an eco-friendly shoe made with the above sustainable materials?
Children’s Clothing
Design Mom introduced me to my newest favorite eco-friendly children’s clothing company Beleaf. They sent us a box to try out and we are in love!

Hello everyone,
I saw the article about going green and being more eco friendly which is great. I love the fact that lots of people are becoming greener and doing their bit for the planet. I think with global warming creeping up on us, I think it is very important that we become more aware of trying to lower our carbon emissions, and try and do right by the planet. I think we can all do our little bit extra to try and help! At home I always shut the computer down rather than putting it to sleep, and always turn off electrics rather than leave them on stand by. These tips may seem small, but if everyone pulled together then I think we could really make a difference to the world. Another hint I have is that I now use e-Cards rather than buying paper cards. Not only are you saving money if you choose a free site, but more importantly, you are helping the environment by saving paper, and therefore less trees need to be chopped down! I have done my research and finally found the best free Environmentally Friendly e-Card site. It is really easy to use, which is great if like me you are not very good with computers! I really like this particular site as there is just so much choice. I know e-Cards are not for everyone but think of the environment it really is a great way to help out and do your bit! Kind Regards, Nic
