Loads of Fun and Entertainment

We found this cute do-it-yourself puppet kit, and thought it would be a great Christmas gift idea for kids ages 3+. We loved how they got entertained for hours, while developing creative skills.

The kit includes 3 super-soft sock puppets and dozens of peel and stick shapes, fur, pom poms and wiggly eyes. Just let their imagination flow, but be careful with potential choking hazard!

Educational Toys

Finding intelligent toys for kids is not easy. Add to your requirement eco-friendly materials and it can turn into a real challenge!
Major department stores offer aisles and aisles of options, but most of them are made of lousy expendable materials, expensive, and not educational.

I'm on a mission to find good options of eco-friendly and educational toys. I'll post more sources as they become available. In the meantime, check these websites, featuring eco-friendly toys by age, and category such as books, games, dolls, musical instruments, etc.
