Perfect for hot drinks or soup

From the Fremont Green Buyers Club Blog.

Klean Kanteen Stainless Steel water bottles have been on our lists for a long time. Klean Kanteens are safe,  longlasting, reusable water bottles.  They keep your drinks tasting good, and reusing bottles is better for the environment then disposable, single use bottles.

Now there is an insulated Klean Kanteen, perfect for hot drinks or soup.  The insulated Klean Kanteen will keep drinks hot for up to 6 hours,

Green Toys New Recycling Truck

This is just too cute!  Green Toys has done it again.

This  eco friendly  toy recycling truck is green from the ground up!  Made from recycled milk cartons in the US.  Green Toys are the safest toys you can buy.   Even the packaging is designed with to be minimal and totally recyclable.

But even better the toys themselves are FUN.

Cardboard packaging cleverly includes images of bottles, cans, and newspaper bundles you can cut out. Instructions let you know to put those “recyclables” into the side recycle chutes, then remove them after opening the rear door of the recycling bed. Hey, you’re recycling!

We love it

Green Toys Gardening Kit

We love this new Gardening set from Green Toys.

First of all, like all toys from Green Toys,  this gardening kit is safe.  They are manufactured in California,  and have no traceable amounts of BPA or phthalates,  and no external coatings.

The gardener kits are really special.  By allowing young gardeners to see nature at work, growing beautiful flowers in just days, these toys will help to create and foster a sense of wonder in your child.

Stainless Steel BPA Free Water Bottles

Plastic water bottles are bad news on lots of counts.

First, it takes energy and resources to make them.  Then,  only a small percentage of plastic water bottles are recycled.  Most end up as land fill, or even worse as litter.

And, to top it all off we have found that the chemicals in the plastic can leach into your water.

For all these reasons, we really like these bpa free stainless steel water bottles from Klean Kanteen.

They are available in a variety of sizes from 12 oz to 64 oz.  For young kids and toddlers, we really like these 12 oz stainless steel sippy cups.

Earth Friendly Toddler Shoes that tell a story

OK – Not toys, but eco and for kids, and really really cool

Eco Kid Eco Friendly Toddler Shoes

Eco Kid Eco Friendly Toddler Shoes

Scooter Bees Eco-Friendly Toddler Shoes tell a story.  Parents can turn the “pages” of the shoe to have a great moment with their child.   The four “pages” are the two wrap-around straps for both shoes. For the Caterpillar design, your child can look down at his/her feet to see a leaf and caterpillar, or (after changing which flap is on top) flowers and a butterfly. You get to explain how a caterpillar eats the leaves, then transforms into a butterfly who will drink flower nectar. Teachable moments!

ScooterBees are the first shoes that are meaningful to the child, the parents, and the earth. ScooterBees is a top-to-bottom eco-friendly children soft-soled shoe, fitting little feet from US size 2 to 6.5 (0 to 2.5 years old).

Available in pink or blue at Kate’s Caring Gifts
