ammonite snail eco wooden toy eco-friendlyGrimm’s Wooden Toys:

When I got the idea to put this list together, I knew Grimm’s wooden toys were to be at the top of my list.  First off, they’re a German based company that manufactures toys that are safe for baby and child. If you’ve done even the smallest bit of research, you’ll know that Europe is a bit ahead of North America when it comes to the safety standards of baby & child products (car seats anyone?!).

The colors and craftsmanship of their toys make them enjoyable for baby and gorgeous for the home – take a peek at some of our favorite designs and colors. You could design baby’s room around these color schemes!  

 

Green Toys Inc:

Manufactured in the US and made from 100% recycled plastic (toys are also packaged in 100% recycled materials), these toys educate children from the minute they receive the toy how important it is that we take care of our planet. As such, some of our favorite selections for toys are the Recycling Truck, The Dump Truck (in pink too!) and the Garden Puzzle (features a watering can that is too cute).  The colors are soft and muted and not obnoxious like other plastic toys can be.  We’re fans! www.greentoys.com

the importance of  organic farming, nurturing our global community, ethical sourcing, and promoting health and harmony.
