September heralds the dawn of a brand new season – spring! A month of new sunshine, new growth in the garden and new life. I for one, am loving taking a few deep breaths of the fresh springtime air each morning. In appreciation of Australia’s fresh air and our unique and diverse environment, September is also Biodiversity Month – a whole month dedicated to celebrating the importance of protecting, conserving and improving biodiversity both within Australia and across the world.
Helping parents take steps in their own families towards protecting and conserving Australia’s rich environment, so that our kids (and theirs!) will get to enjoy all it has to offer, is Jenny Tranter and the clever team behind State of Green – www.stateofgreen.com.au. This online store in itself is a beautifully diverse place, showcasing a brilliant range of modern lifestyle products from around the world which are sensitive to your health, the environment and fair-trade work conditions. There are toys, nursery goods, feeding accessories, baby care items that are all guaranteed to be planet friendly and still meet your desire for intelligent and beautiful design.
There are a lovely new mix of products in store now including the most spell binding Marble Tree Tower from German brand Grimm’s Spiel & Holz – I just can’t take eyes off it! Beautifully crafted from eco-friendly timbers into a rainbow of leaves, it comes with a timber marble that is designed rhythmically drop down the leaves one by one, creating a beautiful sounds as it falls.
I love the range of plates and bowls from Smiling Planet, available exclusively at State of Green. Made in the US from 100% recycled high grade polypropylene plastic, these gorgeous items contain no BPA, no lead, no toxic inks, no phthalates and no PVC – just an enormous amount of coolness for a little plate or bowl!
Calafant, who make great cardboard models for little people to construct and decorate have some new designs in stock now at State of Green, including the Pirate Fortress, 3 Little Pigs, Mermaid Cove as well as my two new favourites the Robot and Dolls House. Also new, and perfect for little people to play with in a great range of colours to match their aromatherapy scents, are the gluten free play doughs from Aroma Play.
State of Green also have some gorgeous new nappy bags and laptop bags made from up-cycled billboard signs from label Dyrt (‘Do You Recycle Too’ – this label has an extremely lovely back story).
