Eco friendly toys. Make your life healthier!

Do you really care about your child's health? All toys that I’ve found are Eco friendly. Psychologists and educators all over the world believe: toys for children should be made of natural materials. They are harmless for the child’s health and facilitate harmonious development of its personality. They assist a kid to develop imagination, to bring an idea of material bodies and forms of reality around it.

Wanna show you a few of my findings which I think are “must have”  for every child.

Handmade Pillow Toy "Cheshire Cat"

This handmade pillow is made of cotton, lasting fabric and filled with holofiber. Toy is decorated with satin ribbon. Such handmade pillow can be used as a toy or as decoration of furniture.
