When I'm looking for high quality, eco-conscious toys for my children Rosie Hippo is the first stop on my list. My son loves his play kitchen cookware and tableware sets made from sustainable rubber wood.
He also absolutely adores his fair-trade hand crocheted monkey. The monkeys come as a set of two- one is brown and green the other pink and grey. I gave the pink one to my daughter and the brown one to my little
guy. Well, he loves monkeys so much he keeps stealing the pink one, too. I find them both in his bed. This year for Christmas he's getting another monkey from Rosie Hippo. This little one is so cute I don't want to wait to give it to him. I know he'll go totally bananas over it. The new monkey is made from 100% organic Egyptian cotton and he's cute as can be.
One thing that my boy loves as much as monkeys is making music (or any noise- he's all boy). So for Christmas he's also getting the Shake, Rattle and Drum set. The handcrafted music set includes a rubber wood bucket drum with a natural rawhide drum head, child sized drum sticks, a red tambourine stick, a green castanet, and two blue mini maracas. And the set is only $39. That's a deal for a fair trade, eco-friendly, high quality toy that will withstand my son's use and abuse.
