EcoTots First Wave Step Stool

First to recommend

Description

Small children are simply shorter than the rest of us, so a step stool is a great way to empower them in activity that comes easy to their taller peers. This First Wave Step Stool from Ecotots is a smart choice, made with eco-friendly and non-toxic materials and comes with a lifetime construction guarantee.

EcoTots Boogie Board Stool

First to recommend

Description

I have a friend who, rather than sending his misbehaving kid out of the room or into the corner for timeout, simply has what's called the "naughty chair." I like the concept, which clearly separates a kid from the fun and denotes punishment but doesn't banish the child from the familial or social sphere. The EcoTots Boogie Board Stool is perfectly suited to the practice, as it will require your child to sit at attention and is conveniently movable to any room you want it to be in.

EcoTots Bonsai Book Caddy

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I'm all for introducing books and reading accessories to kids at as early an age as possible -- even if it means playing rather then reading -- as a means of getting kids used to the idea of having fun with reading. This Bonsai Book Caddy is small, fun, and manageable for a small child, and it's made with EcoTots features that any parent can appreciate: non-toxic, sustainable materials and a conveniently tool-less assembly.

EcoTots Boogie Board Desk

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This EcoTots Boogie Board Desk gets punny with an approximate shape of a boogie board. The desk is designed for kids of five to 10, and the eco-friendly, sustainable wood is finished with non-toxic, eco-friendly stains. Like all EcoTots furniture, the piece is made to be assembled easily with no tools -- in this case, from only six pieces.

EcoTots Sideboard Storage Unit

First to recommend

Description

The funnest thing about cleaning up when you're a kid is a big space to throw stuff and feel like you're getting away with cleaning by just removing clutter. This Sideboard Storage Unit from EcoTots offers the best of that ruse with generous storage space behind two sliding doors. The smart unit is also assembled easily from six FSC-certified eco-friendly, non-toxic pieces.

I like the organizational angle of this Beach Locker from EcoTots. The non-toxic eco-friendly piece can be constructed without tools from five pieces, and it will fit into any room in the house where your child might hang her clothing or stack her books and toys.

Toolbox for Sustainable City Living

First to recommend

Description

Ever wish that everything you ever wanted to know about sustainable city living was bundled together in a book you could hold in your hands and show off on your coffee table. Well, this is it. Packed full of fantastic illustrations, the book is accessible, comprehensive and easy to read. You don't have any more excuses.
