BAJO wooden toys (wooden vehicles, and developmental toys) use only European-origin materials. The timber comes from wood-lots and orchards near the workshop in which the toys are made; the sources of timber are FCS-certified according to good forest-management practices. The toys and packaging are from sustainable sources and biodegradable or fully recyclable. All Bajo toys are HANDCRAFTED in Poland.
CALDREA's aromatherapeutic cleansers are friendly to our planet & animals! All liquid products are biodegradable. Some of the powder products contain minerals that do not biodegrade, yet break down into non-harmful decomposition products. Caldrea products do not contain ammonia, chlorine, phosphates or petroleum distillates (except for their candles which are paraffin). In addition, Caldrea does not test their products on animals. The company makes these formulation decisions because they are always mindful to promote a healthy planet for their customers, families, employees, themselves, and the pets.
CAMDEN ROSE toys (maple teething rings & cherry rattles, skittles, and bowls & spoons made of cherry wood)are constructed to last through multiple generations and the materials that make up the toys are gathered through organized sustainability programs. They use the highest quality materials, all certified non-toxic. Each item is meticulously constructed by craftspeople that specialize in their art. The items are not mass-produced, rather they are created one-by-one, the old-fashioned way. Each item has been child tested and approved for safety, functionality and form. Unless noted, ALL items offered by Camden Rose are made in the United States.
SEVI Toys (teethers & rattles, nursery decoration, some of our pull along toys, and musical instruments) are well known for high quality and safety standards. The product lines are designed in Tarcento, where since 1831; they were manufactured until the mid '80s. The entire operation, from China to the USA, is ISO 9001 certified. The company uses an accredited independent laboratory to test for validation of safety with concentration on physical properties. Sevi's products surpass the standards set by the ASTM-American Society of Testing Materials and the European Standard known as EN 71, all parts 1, 2 and 3. Non-toxic vegetable based coating materials are used on the wooden toys.
All TRUDI Plush Toys are machine washable as well as the fabrics are extremely durable, eco-friendly, and kid safe. The toys are hand-made and double-stitched in China in a Trudi run factory employing local artisans under fair and safe working conditions. All the products are thoroghly and rigorously tested by an independent lab, and exceed all US federal regulations for plush products. A lifetime warranty and a product care pamphlet come with the toy.
All our Alphabet blocks are from LINDENWOOD, Inc. as the manufacturer and distributor of the Uncle Goose (founded in 1983). UNCLE GOOSE produces all of their ABC Blocks within their factory in Grand Rapids. The blocks are made from "replenishable Michigan grown, Kiln-dried Basswood". Non-toxic, child-safe inks they use "come from an American ink manufacturer that does not use heavy metals in the manufacture of their inks". Uncle Goose also has "yearly independent product testing (EN-71) that tests the inks on an actual production set". All blocks meet U.S. and European safety standards. Uncle Goose products are proudly HANDCRAFTED in the USA.
Awards & Recognitions: Uncle Goose blocks have received Parent Choice Awards, Dr. Toy's "100 Best Toys" award, and Oppenheim Toy Portfolio awards.
U.S SHEEPSKIN INC. is one of the largest and certainly the most diverse sheepskin products manufacturers in the United States and Canada. They have been based out of the Pacific Northwest since 1976 and have international affiliations in Germany that are responsible for supplying the European markets. All sheepskin toys are made of the finest merino sheepskin, incredibly soft with quality through and through. Unless noted, ALL items offered by U.S. Sheepskin, Inc. are made in the United States.
