Protect Your Dearest with Organic Baby Toys – They Keep Baby Safe in Those Most Playful of Moments

As you create a wholesome, safe environment for your new baby, you’ve no doubt filled her nursery with a natural bed and organic bedding, her dresser with organic baby clothes, her change table with earth-friendly diapers, and your fridge with organic baby food.... Be sure you don’t forget another very important part of Baby’s day – her playtime. Providing your baby with stimulating, well-made, safe toys is essential not only because her toys help her learn about her world and encourage social and cognitive development, but also because your little girl will spend many hours chewing, sucking, hugging, and playing with her toys. Wonderful organic and natural baby products are becoming more widely available every day, and now you can provide your baby with organic baby toys for the very safest of playtimes.

Toxin-Free Natural and Organic Toys Mean Healthy Playing and Complete Safety for Your Baby
We’ve all heard the horrifying stories of toys recalled due to dangerous paint or faulty parts, but many of us turn a blind eye to the everyday dangers of most standard toys. Plastic toys leech harmful emissions as a baby chews and gums them, and wooden toys are often made from treated wood or toxic particleboard and finished with high-VOC paints that off gas in your home. Rather than being filled with toxins that can seep into her tiny, vulnerable body, a baby’s play area should have only the very safest of toys that contain no harmful materials. Safer, healthier alternatives for your baby’s playtime include these natural and organic playthings:

• Natural wooden baby toys are made from untreated, sustainable hardwoods that are kiln-dried (which means the wood won’t crack, twist, or split). Earth-friendly wooden playthings contain no harmful glues or chemicals and are either unfinished (such as natural-wood rattle rings or teething toys), or are finished with all-natural paints, stains, waxes, or oils.

• Natural rubber toys, which are made from soft, safe, environmentally friendly natural rubber, are phthalate and BPA free and finished with non-toxic, baby-safe paints.

• Soft, cuddly baby toys made from organic fibres, fabrics, and fillings are chemical and pesticide free. Whether a soft fabric doll or a knitted or crocheted toy, organic soft baby toys are finished with planet-friendly dyes and stitched details (such as eyes, whiskers, and noses).

Organic and natural toys cannot harm your child in any way as he hugs, explores, chews, and plays with them, unless of course, they've got dirty. Be sure to wash soft organic baby toys and keep them clean - preferably with a green cleaner and wipe natural wooden toys with organic wipes to ensure they stay safe and healthy for your baby and your home. If all this sounds like overkill, it's partly because it would feel wrong to us to not point this out. On the other hand, who has unlimited time and resources? So let's just maintain a balanced sense of priorities.

Organic and Natural Baby Toys Are Imaginative, Interactive, and Stimulating for All of Baby’s Developing Senses
As your baby grows, he will explore and absorb his little world with all of his developing senses. Rather than surrounding him with the unnatural, heightened stimulus of standard, battery-operated toys, surround your baby instead with the gentle, natural stimulation of organic playthings. Ecologically friendly baby toys rely on imaginative shapes, inspiring colours, wonderful textures, and both classic and novel handcrafted designs to appeal to babies.

Soft organic fabrics, smooth sustainable woods, and pliable natural rubber are all special to Baby’s touch. Natural scents of organic-wool stuffing, earth-friendly rubber, and the essential oils in organic paints are safe, comforting smells, and far more pleasant than the unnatural, synthetic smells of treated fabrics and plastics of non-organic toys. Wooden or natural-rubber teething toys are safe, non-toxic teething options for Baby. Organic musical toys, music boxes, and baby rattles safely bring delightful sounds to your baby’s environment. By choosing simple, all-natural toys for your baby, you will nurture her imagination, foster creative and natural play, and provide a safe place for her to discover her developing senses.

Choose Earth-Friendly Baby Toys to Protect the Planet Our Children Will Inherit
When you choose organic toys for your baby, you are not only helping your own little family. Your choice also supports the people and the companies who care enough about our planet and our children to make organic toys. Your purchase increases demand for eco-friendly products, and so helps to lower prices for organic and natural goods. Because many organic toys are made in Fair Trade or Sweatshop-Free conditions, you’re also doing your part for fair, safe working conditions and fair prices for workers in developing countries. And, with your environmentally responsible choice, you are taking a stand for our fragile planet. Well made, sturdy, and long-lasting, eco-friendly baby toys cause no harm to our planet while they’re being made, and they will last through generations of babies and never be a burden to our burgeoning landfills.

As a loving parent, you will be making the very best decisions for your baby until he is old enough to make his own decisions. And, as a concerned parent, you know that you need to be knowledgeable and proactive about keeping your child safe from harm. Choosing organic toys for your baby’s playtime will ensure that his playtime is safe, developmentally stimulating, and fun! You’re doing what you can to give him the best and healthiest childhood, and making a responsible choice that will give him a healthier, cleaner planet, too.
