Non Toxic

Cribs and "modern children's furniture" made from sustainable materials. "We are passionate about working as a family to craft furniture for other families. Their design aesthetic is "clean, simple, and tasteful. Our children are the inspiration for each new design and each piece is crafted to have that personal feel." Sustainability is expressed in both design and materials. "Our furniture is designed with longevity and reusability as an essential criterion. We offer adjustable seating that grows with your child, table tops that are reusable and also are adjustable, cribs that convert to toddler beds, space saving trundle beds, and storage solutions that are multifunctional and adaptable to a myriad of styles and conditions. We create designs that are crafted to be timeless and can easily be passed from one child to the next...Argington uses 99% wood products in it's furniture, with virtually no mdf, particle board, flake board or other similar engineered wood products. The wood comes from managed renewable forrests established specifically to provide long-term responsible solutions towards the growing demand of timber related products - FSC certified. Our finishes are non-toxic and can withstand the test of time. Aside from our solid wood components, the birch plywood used in our products are made with low emission glues which nearly eliminate long term emissions and offgasing. We have even coordinated efforts with our energy efficient production facilities to develop manufacturing processes that help maximize yeild and minimize waste of raw material."

Charming nontoxic soy wax crayons in beautiful colors, made in the shape of pebbles. Slight indentations allow small fingers to color in large, wide strokes. Designed to strengthen the tripod drip muscles, preparing fingers and hands for pen and pencil use. Specially designed to help children with fine motor disorders to improve their tripod grip. I really like these colors and the fact that that the pebble shape allows you to fill areas with color in fine or bold strokes. Much more versatile artistically than a stick crayon and they feel natural in your hand.

The best soap for baby things. "Soapnuts" are nature's laundry soap. They are the dried fruit of the Chinese Soapberry tree, which contain saponin, a natural cleaner used for thousands of years to clean clothes. These completely unprocessed nuts--used by people all over the world--release their soap when the shell comes in contact with water. You just drop a few nuts in a small cotton bag and place it in the washer with your items to be washed. I tried these and everything came out clean and soft. No fragrance, no residues. After several loads of wash (I got three loads from mine), you can just toss the remaining shells in the compost pile. Site also contains instructions for making a liquid cleaner from soap nuts that can be used for washing humans and pets, fruit and vegetables, spot treating laundry, hand washing delicates, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, washing cars and plants, repelling pests, cleaning jewelry, and washing windows (they sell it ready-made now too, with lavender and tea-tree oil added). About 50 cents a load. "Maggie's Pure Land reserves the Soapberry harvest years in advance, providing families with guaranteed income from living Soapberry trees. By using Maggie's Soap Nuts you are preserving tropical forests! You are supporting real people in their local economies, cultures and communities! You are using the safest, most natural product available!"
