Recycled Soda Can Elephant
Want a unique toy for your older kiddo that's also eco-friendly? This cute and colorful elephant is made from only recycled items—soda cans and unused telephone wire. Handmade in Kenya, each artisan is also paid a fair wage and commission.

Esperos Backpack
Kids can give back even as they stuff their backpack with books for school or toys for a playdate. With each purchase of an Esperos canvas backpack or other bag, the company provides a child in need with school tuition for a whole year.

Mod Dollhouse
Parents, don't be surprised if you find yourself rearranging furniture in this cool mod dollhouse, made for the junior designer or architect in your family.
Made from eco-friendly MDF (aka recovered wood fiber that reduces landfills) and nontoxic paints, the Dylan House looks as if it belongs on a Southern California beach.
Unlike a real beach house, though, it's reasonably priced and comes fully furnished!

So your daughter wants to paint her nails, but you're a little worried about all the toxins coating her nails?

After all, we know how often kids put their hands in their mouths! Piggy Paint is nontoxic, low-odor and comes in a variety of colors.

Balance Bike
Made from sustainably harvested birchwood, the Smart Balance Bike has ditched both pedals and training wheels so kids can learn to balance by walking or running with the bike. If they feel as if they're about to fall, kids simply plant their feet to regain balance.
