With an infinite amount of choice available for children’s playthings and play space decor it’s easy to be overwhelmed, but now more than ever parents are understanding the value of a quality made product with longevity over cheap and cheerful disposable options, especially with the impact this is having on our environment.  

Going green means being more selective with shopping choices, and at LBB we favour handcrafted toys created in natural fabrics for our collection. Choosing sustainable toys is a great way to lead by example for your children and move towards a more ethical way of life, teaching the importance of caring for the planet at an early age.

Being an ally to the environment tends to cost more than opting for mass-produced plastic toys, but what makes sustainable products worth the money?

Safe and Non toxic

Some plastics contain a combination of chemicals that can be toxic when ingested - natural materials don’t pose the same threat as synthetic versions and are proven to be safer for the wellbeing of your little one as well as the environment.

Durability

Eco friendly options are made from natural fabrics and materials which are far more equipped to handle as much wear and tear as your toddler can throw at them.

Educational and Purposeful 

Studies show sustainable toys spark curiosity and promote engagement, giving little people a sense of purpose and more developed skills than their plastic counterparts.

Berry loves toddling around accompanied by her wooden pull along giraffe. This beautifully handcrafted toy on wheels is a must have collectable for every animal lover, plus it makes a gorgeous decoration for the windowsill when not being played with!

Buying handcrafted quality products made with love will ensure that your little one will grow up with a timeless design they can treasure forever and pass down to their own family for years to come.

This is truly priceless. So, choose sustainability, be selective with your shopping choices, and opt for natural fabrics and materials for a better tomorrow.
