It seems like anything marketed to kids should be safe, but unfortunately it’s not. Tons of kids specific brand and toys are full of toxic materials and dyes.

The last thing we want to do is expose our kids to more gross stuff in the world. So we’ve got to be better shoppers.

That means researching the best brands, and the best materials.

OR that means letting us do the work for you.

We’ve compiled our favorite non toxic kids gift ideas in one simple list. You can get your holiday shopping done and have ease of mind that your kiddos will be safe playing with their new toys.
