Eco-Kiddo | Modern Kiddo

Well, it’s that time of year again… The year where we are constantly hustling to find the right gift to garner the most hugs and kisses from little ones. So, here at Modern Kiddo, we are going to spend the next month coming up with cool toys for all the girls & boys.Â We promise to offer you different, fun gifties for different, fun ages and at different, fun price that we think no little kiddo would mind finding under the Christmas tree or Hanukkah bush.

We’ll start it off a great product that I’ve personally fallen in love with for the Peach.Â I was determined to find a tea set for the Peach but almost all of the ones I found were from China and I didn’t want my little girlie to be sucking on the equivalent of a lead pipe. Insert the wonderful tea set I found from SF-based company Green Toys Inc.Â And of course this was just the tip of the iceberg.Â All of their products are BPA-free and made from safe recycled milk jugs. And bonus: the stuff is totally fun too!

I love this tool set!Â It makes me want to build something right now!

These jumpropes are the perfect stocking stuffer.

The Peach is going through a firetruck/garbage truck phase right now, so these trucks would be perfect for her.

Oh, and I think these boats would be a welcome addition to any kiddo’s bathtime.

And the price point for these green goodies is pretty decent–$25-30, so not a bank breaker and you get a high quality eco-friendly toy! Go Green Toys, Inc!

As our old friend Kermit the frog always said, “it’s not easy being green.”Â But never fear, your Modern Kiddo gal pals have found some great eco kid clothing lines that remember to keep that cute factor dialed up to 11.

Our first featured designer is UK-based Â Floppy Buddha.Â This Floppy Buddha’s sassy designs are not only good for the soul but for the world using Oeko Tex dyes on 100 percent organic cotton. BTW, cotton is one of the most toxic-ridden commerical crops out there, so it is one of the key crops to keep pesticides down. But fortunately Floppy Buddha keeps the fashion up, with gorgeous designer prints that are fun and have a nostalic feel that would look great on any baby.

Check out this adorable printed onesie with moose, rabbits and squirrels to create an almost rococo pattern.

I am in love with this jumper made of the most delicious dog tooth print ever.Â Oh and the dogtooth print is ACTUALLY MADE OF CATS. Genius! Nay. Super genius!

Panda bear cuteness anyone? If you insist… But only if the nose is a heart! Check and check!

Floppy-Buddha is giving Modern Kiddo readers a great deal on free shipping if you write ModernKiddo in the promo code!

Dadoo Kids is another eco-chic line started by , designer Christine Miller Kelly who was inspired to develop a line of playful, modern, and super comfortable childrenâ€™s clothing that simultaneously celebrates the joy of being a kid (no rush to look like an adult!) and the realities of day-to-day play.Â Kelly has chosen particularly soft and eco-friendly organic cotton and bamboo blends to create a line of knit clothes without closures, and have elastic waistbands so they move easily and comfortably with each little body in action.

Here are some of my favorite pieces:

This print is so deliciously beachy that you can just imagine the little tawny girl running across the beach in this infinitely wearable little dress.

I love the comfy raglan t-shirt with little helicopters on it–don’t you?

But I saved the best for last–these long shorts have built in knee pads for your little surfer to be! Worn with this great hammerhead t-shirt which you could wear all summer long.

And best of all, Dadoo Kids is doing a special sale–40 percent if you use the promo code Spring40 at checkout. Sweet!

What is an outfit without shoes? Well, baby shower perennial, Robeez just launched its eco-friendly line of baby and toddler shoes without giving up an inch of its famous super cute design. Get a load of this!
