Help Kids Make Friends With The Earth

There are few places that are as frightening to me as the children’s toy aisle in my local “big box” store. Each shelf seems to overflow with toys that are constructed of cheap plastic, lead paint, and other toxins that have yet to be identified. And each toy glitters, rumbles, or sparkles in an attempt to entice children to beg for the latest princess, super-hero, or large purple dinosaur.

Fortunately, there ARE still a few toy manufacturers out there producing toys that are worth both your child’s time and your hard-earned dollars.

One of my favorites is The Earth Friends, a collection of nine beautiful dolls that give kids a new friend to love while they learn about respecting nature. The dolls are

made in the USA with natural and recycled materials such as organic cotton, hemp and recycled plastic, making them as safe as they are snuggly. And each Earth Friend also brings along his or her own backpack containing a “Hope Tree Planting Kit” that kids can use to plant and grow a Douglas Fir tree.

So steer clear of the scary toy aisle and keep The Earth Friends (www.theearthfriends.com)in mind for your next gift-giving occasion. Need some money-saving incentive? Readers of The Green Parent get 10% off their order…just enter coupon code “greenparent” at checkout.

    What a fantastic idea!

    I can’t lie, we love the toy aisle. It keeps J entertained for hours, but we don’t really buy that much. I’ll have to drop by The Earth Friends–sounds great!
