Parents who want to celebrate the holidays with gift ideas that are
better for their children and the world will find a wide range of
alternatives at www.safegreentoys.org, a new resource offered by the
nonprofit Green America. All of the highlighted toys avoid toxic
materials and are made from recycled, organic, and Fair Trade materials.

Holiday gift items featured on www.safegreentoys.org include the following:

Hooded bamboo bath towel, Andrews, SC. The fabric for Bamboosa’s baby
products comes from 100-percent organically certified bamboo fiber, or
is blended with organic cotton, Lycra, or recycled polyester. For the
infants on your shopping list, consider Bamboosa’s hooded bamboo bath
towel, which is generously sized and can still be used in the toddler
years. www.bamboosa.com

Board games, Naturally Playful, Aloha, OR. In addition to classic
products like recycled cardboard puzzles and organic stuffed animals,
Naturally Playful makes available cooperative board games made by a
family company in Canada. These games teach kids about cooperation,
while also educating about topics like loss of animal habitat (“Then
There Were None”), world geography (“Explorers”), and grammar (“Star
Words”).

Cotton kids’ T-shirts, Dhana EcoKids, Mill Valley, CA. One popular
item is Dhana’s 100-percent organic cotton kids’ T-shirts in the “Earth
Day Winter White Tree” design, featuring a tree formed from the
intertwining words rethink, revive, recycle, renew, regenerate,
remember, respect, reuse, restore, and recover.

Home-made gifts. For green gift-giving around the holidays, one
popular approach is a “do-it-yourself gardening kit” consisting of:
three to five clay pots, water-based paints to decorate the pots, a
small bag of potting soil, vegetable or flower seeds, a small shovel,
and a child’s set of gardening gloves.

For the holidays, you may also want to shop at these cruelty-free
retailers found on The Vegetarian Resource Group’s website here:
