Welcome to the new year and the very first Green Guide for the year – we hope you find some inspiration among our first round-up of eco-friendly picks!

The Green Guide is published on the second Friday of each month. Read previous ‘The Green Guide’ posts here.

1. Yes. This set from NZ label, Broken Tricycle, is chock full of loveliness. And yes, you probably were going to nab it even before you learned about the gorgeously soft organic cotton it’s made from. Or how 100% of profits from the tee and leggings gift box—size 00, 3 & 6 months—will be donated to Oxfam in support of the East African famine appeal. Now that you know all that, go ahead and get it here.
2. Books are awesome. So is this organic Parachute Library Bag from local label Apple & Bee. Surely the two are a perfect team for inspiring little readers when the new school year kicks off.
3. Aww, littlies will have a real hoot with this nifty kids’ lunch box – Woddlers PVC free sandwich keeper boasts an insulated interior, name tag, carry handle and six different embroidered pals to tickle the kidlet’s fancy.
4. US label Finn + Emma make fun stuff. Really. Super. Cute. Handmade, organic cotton, fair trade, fun stuff. A whole, wonderful caboodle of goodness awaits at their store, where you’ll come over all mushy for their adorable Cat Booties and Doll Blankies, and other goodies—clothes, bedding—to go mushy for.
5. This Cargo Snack Box is for kids on the go. Kids will dig it ’cause it has a handle for toting and neat little compartments for all their yummy snacks. The big people who put their lunches together will love it ’cause it’s BPA free and there’s no need to waste money on plastic baggies, which also happens to be a pretty good thing for the planet.
6. Move over Bart, it’s time to make way for something altogether cooler in the daks department—in more ways than one. You see, Thunderpant’s Boys Tank & Underpants are not only rocking some pretty ace graphics, they’re also made from skin friendly, super breathable organic cotton.
7. What are clothes good for? Well, just take a gander at this multi-tasking organic Monkey Bridge Tee. You see, it’s not just a tee to make the kiddo look good—though it does that very well—but a social initiative to teach consumers about climate change whilst providing educational support to the very children whose art features on each design – all of which makes this one garment worth getting dressed for.
8. Darling is a sweet word. One that should be reserved for especially sweet things. Like these darling baby shoes. See how pretty they are? And how a later shoe obsession could very possibly be traced all the way back to those very first steps .. made in a pair of pretty, handmade booties? South Californian eco designers, bink & boo, hunt and gather super sunny vintage fabrics and repurpose them into shoes, bibs and pants for nippers and—in a fabulously pleasing discovery—these retro-cool clutch purses for bigger gals.
9. Good design ought to be useful. It’s also very nice if it happens to be fun. Like this Fairy Wet Pack Bag from Ellen G. Waterproofed with chlorine-free PVC alternative, EVA, there’s multiple uses for a canvas handy pack such as this; the fact that it’s a cute as can be—not dull or too grown up—just adds that bit of extra sweetness to its utility.
10. We can all agree that heads look far better on the animal, however, if you do fancy adding something wild—and altogether more whimsical than a hunting trophy—to walls, then these cruelty free animal heads from Dwell Studio are just the ticket. Handmade by a non-profit Haitian organisation from repurposed cement bags and vintage French book pages, the colourful tribute to our four legged friends makes a mighty fine décor addition.

Whether you need ideas for little relatives, your own children or those of friends, there’s no shortage of fabulously fun eco friendly fillers for stockings – the only problem you’ll have is deciding what to go with from these affordable, kid-cool picks!

The Green Guide is published on the second Friday of each month. Read previous ‘The Green Guide’ posts here.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

1.  Makedo Cup Critters $6.95 – A little package with big play potential, Makedo’s crafty kit includes a couple of cups (to get started, then recycle your own) and reusable parts for kids to make a cast of playful characters – neat!
2. Blue Q Butterfly Coin Purse $6.50 – Where to put all their collected rocks and shiny things, along with the odd pocket money windfall? Why, in a funky purse made from recycled material of course. Super cool Martian and Robot versions also available.
3. Fly Balloon Organic Dress $79.95 – If you’re after an excuse to buy a pretty party frock, then surely Christmas is it! With blue frill and balloons, this whimsical number will be simply adored by little girls, as will the equally sweet Carnivale (pink) and Starry Night (yellow) designs.
4. UniquEco Juggling Balls $25 – It could take the kids a while to master these amazing recycled thong juggling balls which is exactly the point!
5. T-Rex & Fawn Stainless Steel Water Bottles $19.95 – The nifty drink bottles are awesome enough to impress kids and are a gift parents love too!
6. Seedling Anna & Lily’s Amazing Wardrobe – Designed by Me! $12.95 Finally, little fashionistas get to have total wardrobe control with this creative design activity for the over fours.
7. Boogles Doll $69.95 – Aww, a Christmas list wouldn’t be complete without a doll and this hand knitted, fair trade Boogles Doll is a real cutie pie!
8. Seedling The Art of Folding Paper $9.95 – This origami kit from Seeding will keep small minds busily entertained… excellent rainy day (or tired mum) activity with awesome kid appeal.
9. Eco Torch $19.95 – Torches are way cool, finding batteries for them is not! Save yourself the hassle and stick to something kid powered this Christmas, like a nifty hand pumped version from National Geographic that powers for 45 minutes when fully charged.
10. Uncle Goose Upper & Lower Case Blocks $36.00 – Boy, the ABCs of stacking and crashing certainly look snazzy these days! Wonderfully bright, Uncle Goose’s blocks are a fail proof gift for toddlers and preschoolers.
11. Sun Jar $59.95 – There’s just nothing quite as cool as a little sunlight captured in a jar, and it makes an especially neat night light for those who still need a little illumination to ward of those scary thoughts. (Plus, you’ve gotta love a gift that’ll last more than one Xmas!)
12. Hugg A Planet $59.95 – My eight year old son has spied this in a local shop window, and there’s not a day we go by when he doesn’t put in request for it—I’m with him, what’s not to love about being able to hug the earth? The awesome, multi award winning Hugg A Planet comes in three sizes and will be massive hit with kids of all ages.

With several girls, I’m glad at least one of them loves something other than pink and purple – blue! Blue also happens to be one of my fave colours, so I’m particular enamoured with some of this month’s picks … from spunky jeans, to pretty paper chains, I’m feelin’ the blues in a joyful, happy- days-are-coming kinda way (with a pink ring-in for kicks!) – enjoy!

The Green Guide is published on the second Friday of each month. Read previous ‘The Green Guide’ posts here.

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

1. Teething. What’s in it for mum? Hmmm, how about some spiffy, eye catching necklaces to make outfits really snack, crackle and pop? Sure, most gals don’t need an excuse to indulge in a bit of neck candy, but at least now we can plead parental responsibility. After-all, littlies need something to sooth sore gums … all the better to have it close at hand, dangling conveniently from our nurturing chests. Jellystone Designs’ punchy, fun jewellery is made from BPA, PVC and lead free silicon and, in the case of the chewable pendants and suckable bangles, performs double duty as playful baby teethers.

2. Need a tea break? Pop junior in a pair of Dream Nation’s kaleidoscope leggings, ask them to count the triangles then nip into the kitchen for a cuppa as he busies themselves doing it! Need another reason to dig these zanily cool eco threads? The odd splotch of spaghetti will be virtually undetectable – HOORAY to that! The funky organic street wear includes tees and dresses and is created by hand by Warsaw mum, Luiza Jacob, using her own fabric designs.

3. Aussie eco brand, Eco Cocoon has done it again. Having reintroduced us to an updated – very retro and fun – stainless steel version of 70s anodised drink ware, they’ve now turned their design sights to kids’ drink bottles. The result? Three sizes: 350mL, 500mL and 600mL, awesome colours and graphics and a super clever, strawless one way valve, plus the option to insulate with a funky neoprene cuddler! Did someone say runaway summer hit? Better be quick … grab one here!

4. Here’s the type of quirky, charming, absolutely to be cherished and taken everywhere type of buddy I imagine I’d knit the kids .. if I ever had time and talent! I don’t, luckily then we’ve got Christchurch lass and mum of two, Kat, the very crafty creator behind Oscar & George. Lovingly knitted in 100% pure wool, the huggable merino monsters come with names as cute as them: Give Us A Hug, I Miss You and You’ve Got A Big Heart to name just a few. Smitten yet? Pop over to her store to meet the rest of the gang – custom orders welcome!

5. If your enthusiasm for footy—like mine—runs a wee bit on the low side, this Save  the Earth Football could be the inspiration you need. And here’s three wonderful, socially responsible reasons why: 1) It’s made by fair trade workers in Pakistan. 2) The  organic cotton bag it comes in is made by disabled women and men in Japan. 3) Part of the profits go towards landmine clearance efforts in Cambodia. Oh, and it looks way cool .. kick this one into the Xmas stocking and mini Beckhams will be stoked.

6. Jeans? Love, love, love ‘em! So will you when you spy these funky organic skinnys for the kids. Monkee Genes are iconically hip, brilliantly bold indie denims straight out of the UK, with both GOTS and Soil Association Organic certification. Made from 97% organic cotton and 3% stretch, the scaled down versions of their uber cool adult jeans, come in sizes 2 to 8 years in Chilli Red, Slate and Electric Blue … monkeying around optional.

7. So you think the kiddo’s room is all done and decorated, huh? Dangled from windows or draped across walls, I’m fairly certain these lovely Paper Chains will tempt you back to a little more interior tweaking. The beautifully hand crafted paper chains are prettily animated in 13 gorgeous, hand dyed shades and carry the history of a 2000 year old paper making technique. Fairly made by Nepalese crafts women, each is 1.8 metres long, with 30 colourful discs.

8. Ever tried finding eco friendly swimwear? Heck, there’s more chance of finding an igloo in the middle of Bondi Beach. Or so I thought. Then I clapped eyes on this sweet, retro romper swimsuit from Mimimyne, made from salvaged cotton and linen fabrics, beach babes will cause a scene – albeit a gorgeous green one – when they toddle around in this. More please!

9. You may not be willing to give up the dishwasher but stepping back in time has its benefits. Stepping aside from blue for a minute (well, lots of girls do love pink!), consider this pink riot of gorgeousness. A 1950′s original, the vintage frock is an absolute delight of ruffled pink layers. Speaking of delight, there’ll be no shortage of it for the little wearers lucky enough to find themselves in one of Little Eero lovingly restored vintage garments. Including some lovely shades of blue, the cherished collection includes finds from the 1940s, in sizing from 1 to 7 years.

10. Forget key teethers, Gen Alpha babes need to dial up something far more now. Say hello to the smart phone teether toy, created after the blackberry of an Etsy mum, Rachael of 3 Princesses Engraving, suffered bite marks and malfunctioning keys when her daughter played with it! Handcrafted from Canadian maple finished in beeswax, you’ve gotta dig a phone the kids can chomp on without doing any damage to their health or your phone bill. And so there’s no mistaking whose phone is whose, there’s also an option to have bub’s name engraved on the back.

September rolls on, which can only mean one thing. Yep, time to dig out the cossies and make plans for the beach! While you’re there, pull out your notepad and start scribbling down some Xmas ideas, because after September comes October… and well, you know the rest… This month’s Green Guide includes some out and about essentials and one or two things to jot down for the Big Man in Red. Enjoy!

The Green Guide is published on the second Friday of each month. Read previous ‘The Green Guide’ posts here.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

1. If you thought cork was only good for 4” platform shoes, kitchen trivets and bottle stoppers, then take a gander at Bambu’s latest offering. The unique Cork Bib get its retro-ish looks from cork fabric, an innovation that is not only soft to touch, but machine washable, stain resistance, hypo-allergenic and anti-microbial too. Which begs the question: are cork playsuits next?
2.  Homemade baby purees will travel, thanks to Beaba’s nifty lil’ solution, the Babypote. Made from ultra squeezable silicon, the handy design has a snap on lid, wide neck for filling and cleaning, and is BPA-free, making it an ultra eco friendly alternative to the many, slurp n’ toss options overtaking supermarkets. Not yet available in Australia, until then, you’ll need to nab one via an international e-tailer or cajole a holidaying friend into bringing bubs back one.
3. Here’s something totally rad that’ll put a big smile on kids’ dials – in fact, grab a pencil, because these guys are ace additions to the Chrissy list. Sumobot, Gyrobot, Daisy Diplodocus and Terry Triceratops are a kid-tastic, moveable wooden toy made from sustainably sourced Beechwood. Available in small and large sizes, the characters are the latest release from Australian company Go Home Junior and come chock full of play possibilities, not unlike the kids themselves.
4. Designer-mum Laura Stevanz freely admits to channeling her northern European sisters to create Little Bossy Boots, an awesome local solution for tikes who like to flash a bit of Scandi cool without clocking up the air miles. The organic range for 0-4 years includes bodysuits, tees, dresses and blankets, all freshly lit with funky prints and touting affordable prices parents will really dig.
5. Take two creative friends with two children and an itch to create a unique collection of apparel for mums and their brood, and what do you get? Two, which in my books equals twice as nice, thanks to the combination of playful prints and gorgeously shaded organic cotton. Made in New York, Two’s kids’ tees for 1 to 4 year olds feature cheeky designs silk screened with eco inks – there’s a donkey, a necklace and the odd, rogue moustache .. perfectly happy, whimsical wear for imaginative kids.
6. Pretty and cooly chic, The Measure’s clever revamp of men’s Oxford shirts is a splendid breath of lovely, complete with poppy-licious embellishment and comfortably smart styling. In sizing from six months to six years, options include checks, stripes, blues and pastels, plus three different sleeve lengths. There’s also a super sweet ruffle design, and both looks are terrific for shirting around in on meltingly-hot summer days.
7. Wet swimmers and cars, happy parents do not make. But help is at hand, in the form of Beatrice and her equally charming counterpart, Patrice: adorable organic cotton bags who also happen to be your beach day saviours. Just gather up the drippy results of the kids’ water antics, the goggles, sand encrusted sunblock and throw ‘em all into their awesomely practical, water proof pockets. Dandy and handy, if they look familiar you may remember artist Caroline Castagna-Suarez’s (aka My Name is Simone) super zero plush doll from here.
8. If you’re been wondering whether to bag it or not, Swedish brand, If You Care, has the ecologically sound and healthy answer. Their unbleached, chlorine free lunch bags are made from renewable spruce trees and come in handy bundles of 48, kindly packaged in unbleached, recycled boxes. Go ahead, bag up those school lunches .. and know you’re doing it in good, green conscience.
9. Awww, how cute – from dull and ugly, to soft and lovely, plastic bottles have never been more adorable! Poppa the Puppy’s sweet face is animated with a hand stitched nose and freckles, the handiwork of fair trade artisans in Sri Lanka, and while her super snuggly organic cotton contours are filled with recycled PET bottles, it’s a fair bet this is one huggable pup who’ll never end up on the waste pile.
10.  Need an easy way to eye-tag the kids in a crowd .. throw ‘em in this visual clanger from London label Boys & Girls. Awesomely cool, organic, inexpensive and in sizing all the way to ten years, Aussie nippers can now spruce up for summer in these blindingly bold, fair trade duds – yes, they’ve arrived, kids get your UK fashion fix here.

It’s time for another round up of all that’s good, groovy and green in kids’ gear … from yummy birthday cake decorations to awesome, kid-riffic backpacks, August is bursting with earth friendly finds.

The Green Guide is published on the second Friday of each month. Read previous ‘The Green Guide’ posts here.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

1. Gee whiz, I couldn’t help but break into a little round of applause when I spotted this green makeover of the plastic doodle pad. Made in Japan by Oekaki, the beautiful wooden drawing board comes with wooden stampers and pencil, plus an organic cotton drawstring bag to pack it all away in. Lovely.
2. Jaws will drop when your birthday boy or girl eye’s light upon this fantabulously huge chocolate freckle number. Handmade in Australia, the 10cm tall, totally edible piece would give even Augustus Gloop a fair run for his chocolate lovin’ chops.
3. How do you make a kid covetable singlet – you know, the one they never want to take off? Well, line up and pay attention, because lovely local label Nan’s Garden is giving us all a lesson in eco-cool fashion. Their fun Sesame Street singlets cutely combine organic cotton, recycled curtain and some much loved puppets. Available in sizing 00 to 6 years.
4. A funny thing happens when kids go walking: they find sticks. What are sticks good for? Well, if you’re under 5ft, pretty much everything, which is why this branch holder is simply genius. In three colours and sizes, it transforms bored kids into play day gladiators, and all from what’s just lying on the ground.
5. There may be many a use for old jacquard towels, but not many would be as practical and as pretty as My Poppet’s lovely revamp. This gorgeous bib is brilliantly absorbent and only $8.50, that’s the beauty and value of clever upcycling.
6. It’ll be a few years before the kids will be making their own dinner (and maybe yours too?), but there’s nothing to stop ‘em getting in a wee spot of practice right now -  especially if it doesn’t involve creating any mucky messes in the kitchen. Green Toys have just the thing. Made from BPA free recycled milk containers, this 27 piece pizza making set comes with order forms and a delivery box, so line up mum and get ready to place an order.
7.  It might be a little wrong to covet your kids’ gear, but this seriously cute backpack is so right you won’t be able to help yourself.  A-splash with kaleidoscope prints, Fluf’s new companion to their sweet lunch sacks earns a A+ thanks to smart styling that includes an organic cotton outer, water resistant lining and little internal spot for the tikes to scribble their name … bags it first!
8. So many renovating shows, so many spiffy interiors: hands up if you’ve got a sudden itch to round up all those lay-about dolls and errant toy trucks? Lucky for us, Le Petit Beatnik’s industrially chic toy box is here to lift us from the décor dumps. Made from pine, the stunning organiser comes with lockable castor wheels, and for those with multiple munchins to pick up after, they can also be personalised for maximum order. Oh, and once you’ve finessed the kids’ rooms, why not pep up their wardrobes? Le Petit Beatnik also make a pretty dandy line of organic tees and rompers.
9. If you think these slippers look adorable now, what ’til you spy them on your little fella’s feet. The woollen wonders are the creation of British label Oromono, who hand make them for tots 1 to 3 years, from their London studio. There’s four terrific themes: farmyard, garden, transport and jungle, an impressive collection that’ll tickle the kids’ toes and their fancy.
10. These blocks may not appeal to adults (no renovations going on here), but that’s OK, because they’re meant for the tots, and they’re not just another stack ‘em and crash ‘em set either. Nope, the geometric puzzlers aim to tease kids’ grey matter into some pretty clever cognitive computations. It’ll be fun. They may even become Rubik cube champs .. at the very least, you’ll have a few moments of quiet. Sounds good.

Brrrrr, did someone say temperature drop? Time to grab an organic quilt, a wool covered hottie, some glow in the dark Pjs and cosy up with the kids!

The Green Guide is published on the second Friday of each month. Read previous ‘The Green Guide’ posts here.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

1. Some things just don’t seem to go together, for instance, peas and ice cream. But then again, perhaps it’s all in the execution? After all, some would swear pea flavoured ice cream is a dandy treat, even as sweet as this Super Star Stamp Necklace. Stamp necklace? Yep, it turns out this odd pairing make an adorable couple. Hung on a hemp string, flip the handmade wooden figurine over and she turns from a pretty piece of neck bling to a stella stamp – just the very thing needed for spreading a little twinkle throughout the day.
2.  Speaking of unusual twosomes, breathtaking and jigsaws are a couple of words I wouldn’t normally piece together(!), but this fabulous Animal Globe deserves the accolade. Quite unlike anything you may have seen before, it’s been beautifully handcrafted from baltic birch, cherry or mahogany plywood and is bustling with an animated menagerie of colourful wildlife. The 7” puzzle consists of 75 pieces, or you can super size to a mighty 11”- 205 piece version! Bella Puzzles also have a stunning collection of story book puzzles – fantastic for a special gift – and for something extra personal, there’s photo puzzles and customised options too.
3.  Flying in at number three is Hop & Peck’s beautifully crafted wooden toys and accessories. Handmade from birch plywood in Essex, UK, these simply striking products owe their good looks to unfussy lines and clever ideas: the Bunny Ears egg cup (top) and Twizzer mobile (wind it up, then watch it spin down!) are just two of the standouts amongst the gorgeously crafted wares.
4.  Time to ROC the wardrobe, Swedish style! Katvig is taking ‘green’ to a new level with its funky range of kids wear made not just from organic cotton but the actual leftovers from the spinning of organic cotton!! The Recycled Organic Cotton (R.O.C) pieces are aglow in violet and seaweed, rather fittingly (and fashionably) blazing the eco trail in both technology and colour!
5.  I spy with my little eye a new addition to eco décor: Eye Play Studio. With their design sights aimed at sprucing up kids’ rooms, this homegrown brand is entertaining the imaginations of children with liberal splashes of vivid colour and fantastical whimsy. Their first collection, Eco Friends, consists of coordinating canvas artworks, giclée prints and cushions made from sustainable plantation woods, eco inks and organic cottons. With themes like Captain Mischief the Pacific Pirate and Lilli the Garden Pixie, there’s sure to be one just right for your wee tike.
6. Is it possible to have a crush on a cup? Or rather, six cups? Each lovely tumbler winks out from their recycled cardboard box in a pretty gelato shade, but it’s their 100% compostable profile that really puts a smile on my dial. Bury one of these little E-Cups and they’ll completely break down in 12-18 months, never to take up space in a dreadful landfill. Of course, no one will be burying these lovelies at the back of the cupboard. Nope, they’ll be at the front and in demand: food safe and heat proof to 120 degrees, what’s not to dig about this fabulously green alternative to melamine?
7. Owl about this? The fabulously long-lived energy saving classic, the hottie, has come over all cute n’ chirpy in an upcycled woollen vintage blanket cover. And there’s more than one use for this tweet coverup of a childhood favourite. When it’s not keeping tootsies toasty at night, ZippityDooDah’s lovely cover is equally good at tucking pyjamas away or perking up beds as an adorable pillow accent. I’ll hoot to that!
8. Its hard to believe there may be a home without a set of wooden planks, but if yours is one of them, then these building sets from Green Hat Workshop are begging for an invite! The Australian made New Zealand pine planks are available in 100 and 200 sets: no batteries, no wires, instructions or tricks – just add an over energetic, hugely inventive child (ie, any child!) for loads of busy, limitless play!
9. What’s organic, black and glows in the dark? Your son, wearing a pair of these awesome pyjamas from French eco label Gribouille! Yep, its the stuff of a young boy’s dreams (and hopefully the key to getting him to bed) so it’s no surprise to learn that behind this neat concept is a mother of two, Charlotte Bohn, whose background in architecture and design, and her own children’s artistic exploration, provided terrific inspiration for the playful pieces. Made from 100% certified organic cotton, the pyjamas come with six non-toxic phosphorescent felts: colour in then expose to light for a few moments for a glowing result! Gribouille also have a kiddy-cool selection of colour-in tees with water based, non-toxic felts for both girls and boys.
10. Daisies, butterflies and cherries: an enchanting reminder that spring is arriving in the shape of Suna Studio’s sunny, super snuggly eco quilts. Handmade from organic cotton and filled with organic batting, the lovely designs also feature some pretty funky alligators and tigers, abstract castles and sun-shiny Japanese prints – many of which work wonderfully for both girls and boys decor. Oh, and if you fancy one for yourself, Suna Studio also accepts custom orders.
