Green Toys’School Bus is so cute! It’s made with recycled
milk jugs. The open roof allows your child to add his or her favorite toys
inside to take to school, and the large wheels make it a great toy to use in
the sandbox, at the beach, or at home.
The delightful book Bear At Home/Oso en Casa by Barefoot Books is a bilingual paperback which includes English and Spanish Vocabulary words. It’s written by Stella Blackstone, illustrated by Debbie Harter, and is suited for children ages 2-6.
The Begin AgainBath Tub Ball comes with a natural rubber
“cage” ball that can house 1 scuba diver, 2 sharks, and 1 octopus, also made
from natural rubber. The toys can be removed for bathtub fun.
Green Toys’Airplane is a single-seater airplane with a
spinning propeller, two-wheeled landing gear, and rounded wings, and so
durable--it’s made from 100% recycled milk jugs!
Our 3rd birthday is tomorrow! We can barely
contain our excitement! We will be having various giveaways tomorrow, which you
can enter in either online or in our Richmond, VA, store.
Tomorrow you will have the chance to win an Honest Company
Diaper cake!
We took 24 disposable Honest Diapers in Skulls and 38
Anchors & Stripes disposable Honest Diapers to create our 4-tiered cake.
The Honest Company makes their diapers hypoallergenic, free
of chlorine processing and any risky additives like fragrances, lotions, or
latex. They’re made with plant-based (PLA) outer and inner layers, and are
filled with sustainably harvested pulp with a bio-based wheat/corn blend in a
super-absorbent core.
The Honest Co Diaper Cake giveaway is only available in
store.
GroVia Diaper Shells are one-size and provide a trim cover
and are closed with Velcro. You can snap an Organic Soaker inside, and when
it’s wet, unsnap it and replace with a fresh Soaker. The inside of the diaper
shell is lined with a soft netting material. Lay in a GroVia BioLiner to help
with easy clean up of solid waste. The BioLiner will allow moisture to pass
through to the diaper and keep your baby’s skin dry but will contain solid
waste.
The GroVia Magic Stick is an all-natural diaper ointment
that is easy to use, goes on smoothly, and keeps your baby protected and
comfortable without damaging your cloth diapers.
The GroVia Diaper Set Giveaway will be available only to entrants online.
We are so looking forward to our birthday this weekend, and
we hope you are, too! We will be hosting several giveaways, and you can enter either
online or stop by our Richmond, VA, store.
The Lillebaby COMPLETE is a great baby carrier that allows
you to carry your child from newborn to 45 lbs facing in or out and comfortably
on your front, hip, or back. If you’re baby is facing out, the Lillebaby
COMPLETE allows for your baby to sit safely in a “spread-squat” seat to keep
your baby’s hip development healthy. It’s also designed to distribute your baby’s
weight evenly across your hips and shoulders with a unique lumbar support and a
wide padded waistband to provide exceptional lower back support.
Imagine Greenwear shirts are made from 100% organic cotton
and with different graphics on the front and back dyed with seaweed-based dyes.
Our Imagine Greenwear giveaway includes 2 shirts: a fun
Monkey t-shirt (size 6) and a lovely adult woman’s Dragonfly shirt (size
Small).
The green Dragonfly shirt has ¾ long sleeves and is so soft
and comfortable, with dragonflies across the front and back. The Monkey t-shirt
features several monkeys on the front and back, with the shirt dyed in shades
of blue and green fading into each other.
Made in Richmond, VA, with organic cotton, these headbands can be worn 4 different ways: it’s reversible with 2 fun prints, and the tie in
the center can be reversed or removed.
