We know green is the new black, but how is the average mom expected to find (and afford) those fancy eco-toys?
For parents Karla Zamora and Frank Luengo, the birth of daughter Isabel led to the creation of BabyThoughts.ca, an online store that addresses these ecological and economical concerns. With a thoughtful array of developmental toys, they’ve made sure to carry only the best (at mat-leave-friendly prices).
Our motor lover fell hard for the new line of Bajo and Vilac wooden vehicles ($9.95 for smaller cars, $48.95 for large trucks and fire engines). Made in Poland and France respectively, these carefully crafted toys will stand the test of time. Knowing they are made with the planet in mind eases our carbon conscience and fear of recalls.
The site is packed with other well-respected, reasonably-priced lines like Manhattan Toy, Melissa & Doug, HABA and Plan Toys, as well as a clean, easy-to-use design and simple age-groupings (Newborns, Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers) for easy surf-shopping. With free shipping (on orders over $100) it’s hard not to love this eco-eco-friendly Canadian store.
Now we sleep-deprived parents can find toys to nourish our children’s developing minds and imaginations, while easing our guilt (and the strain on our wallets).
