Eco-friendly bites for little tree huggers

Sometimes, you don’t have to find a fully “green” or organic baby clothing shop in order to find great pieces. For example, Bean New York is not a fully organic shop, but they always seem to have a wonderful collection of gorgeous organic and Fair Trade baby clothing with nice choices, but it’s not overwhelming. For example, the About a Bean Onesie you see above. 100% organic onesie, printed with botanical stages in “the development of a bean”- so adorable, I almost can’t stand it.

Time is seriously running out for holiday shopping. Few online shops can guarantee a before Christmas delivery at this point. If you’re still looking, Amazon Green is one place to shop, that will still get gifts to you on time. I’ve been there; almost every year I end up grabbing some last minute Amazon.com deal.

Here are some nice green last minute gift picks:

Above is Pops!: Icy Treats for Everyone – I know it’s cold, and the last thing on your mind is ice pops, but honestly, this is a great book for keeping it green all year that will help you make ice pops for the kids with less packaging and better ingredients. Along with this book, you might like to pick up some Tovolo Popsicle Star Molds or Tovolo Yellow Groovy Pop Molds.

We’ve had three sets of Tovolo pop molds for a good long while, they work great, make beautiful ice pops, and cut down on trash. If you want to learn more online, read my post; 32 Unique Homemade Popsicle Recipes & Ideas.

We’ve been snowed in for days – today we actually are seeing some sunshine, but it’s still chilly. Perfect weather for these cute Kusikuy Rainbow Jr Alpaca Glittens. Glittens are cool because they’re mittens combined with fingerless glove ease. Kids can actually stay warm, and pick their stuff up. Made with sustainable, animal friendly, Alpaca wool.

I just recently saw this Wind Power Experiment Kit and think it would make such a cool gift for an older green kiddo.

Kids 8+ can assemble their very own wind turbine and electric generator with this Wind Power Kit. There are 20 different experiments kids get to conduct, including lifting a heavy weight and generating enough power to light up an LED light and charging a rechargeable battery. Included is a 32-page color manual that walks kids through a number of experiments. This would be an especially fun green project for kids and parents to work on together.

Then I started wondering if there were any other cool green science kits around and so I went looking. And found…
