I know, you think this is just another excuse to show a cute hippy kid wearing ethical clothes? And you’d be right, but having just discovering this brilliant long sleeve tee for my daughter, I felt it was my duty to share it with the rest of you.
It’s from Hippyshopper favourites People Tree and is made from 100% fairtrade certified organic cotton. It features a cheeky little pooch saying “hello, it’s me again”. Available in turquoise long sleeve for £14, or rosewood short sleeve for £12 they are made in India and designed by genius illustrator Chris Haughton.

I’m not against the occasional slogan tee, especially on babies who can’t complain. This one has me tickled pink… or is that blue? It’s actually an organic cotton baby grow in sizes 0-3 and 3-6 months reading ‘100% Organic’ which could be an affirmation of your eco family credentials or how baby was, er, made.
Blue / Pink – £11.99

It’s never too early to teach your children good habits and what better way than with that periennial favourite toy Lego. There pretty much isn’t anything you can’t do with the little blocks and that includes making this solar helicopter kit. There isn’t any information available about the kit on the Solar Energy Alliance’s website but presumably solar energy makes the blades rotate – £22.55.

A wise woman once said…”I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way” and I agree wholeheartedly. Good old David Bellamy does too, and has written this delightful book to prove it.
101 Ways to Save the Earth provides children with a gentle introduction to environmental responsibility. Aimed at the 6+ age group it guides then through such subjects as recycling, saving water, green transport and preserving nature and the environment for future generations. It contains lovely illustrations by Penny Dann and costs £5.99 (or for an even greener option it’s available second hand on Amazon for around £1.95)

There’s something irrestibly sweet about grown-up foods in baby sized packages. Plum Baby aren’t just about the cute factor though. Already award winners at top baby site GoMamaToday and magazine Practical Parenting, the products are packed with natural foods and no GM, salt, sugar, meat, egg or dairy.
Instead you’ll fine yummy fruity concoctions like ‘mango and banana’, ‘blueberry, banana and vanilla’ and so much more. Available from all supermarkets, Boots and health food shops.
