Shopping Tips

  • When in doubt, smell it! Toxic softeners in plastics can give them that new smell. Strong fragrances and perfumes used on scented dolls can provoke allergies or asthmatic reactions.

  • See www.veganpeace.com for a list of some toy companies that provide sweatshop-free toys.

  • Look for toys that are welcome hand-me-downs that will last for several generations.

  • Look for toys with minimal packaging.
