Simple Shoes

14 people recommended this item

Description

Given how visually horrible both children's shoes and eco-friendly shoes can be, this Simple shoe is a bit of a coup. A full hemp upper is complemented by a recycled tire outsole, and the overall casual Mary Jane approach is a really cute angle on little girls.

Boon Snack Ball

2 people recommended this item

Description

In pink or orange.

Cute containers for holding Cheerios and other "crunchies" as my 3-yr-old calls every single thing that makes that sound in his mouth (and under my foot when he leaves 'em on the kitchen floor, lol)....

This would also make a great travel accessory for holding earrings or work well storing small craft items.....

* Fun, sphere-shaped snack container
* Rigid form protects snacks from crushing
* Two halves unscrew for easy cleaning
* Great for travel

Wooden Trike: pink

First to recommend

Description

This basic wooden trike won't teach your tyke as much about balance and coordination as the pedaling variety, but this is hours of fun for the toddler who likes to scoot.
