Coco Boheme: Biodegradable Chalkboard Stickers

Writing on the wall is always fun for kids, but with Coco Boheme’s chalkboard stickers it can be fun for parents, too. These animal-shaped wall stickers are biodegradable as they’re made from a potato starch material. Each sticker is reusable and can be repositioned over and over again. Once you’re done with them, you can either compost them and return nutrients to the soil, or put them in the trash knowing that in about 6 months, 90% of the material will have biodegraded (as opposed to many decades for most vinyl stickers). The inks and glue are also eco-friendly, no chemical solvents. Stick one in a kid’s bedroom or in the entry way for family messages, wherever you decide to display these fun, eco chalkboards, adults and children alike will delight in them. Jump over to Inhabitots to check them out.

Dress Me Up: Organic Rabbit Rattles

I don’t have a baby anymore, but if I did I would pick up a set of these organic rabbit rattles from Dress Me Up. Aren’t they adorable? I love the minimalist look – wouldn’t they look great on a bookshelf?

Earth Friendly Etsy: Win! A Peris & Corr Recycled Love Poster

This week’s Earth Friendly Etsy giveaway from Peris and Corr couldn’t be more timely. One lovely reader will win a beautiful recycled love poster just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Peris and Corr is a textile and screen printing company run by Dyfrig Peris and Jennie Corr who both have backgrounds in Fine Art. Peris and Corr have an unconditional love for great design, screen-printing and the environment.

All of Peris and Corr’s products are designed and hand printed in their studio located in the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. You will find a large collection of hand-made organic textile products and screen-printed greeting cards. My favorites are the posters, purses and cushions.

The love poster is hand screen-printed using Permaset Inks that are solvent free water-based inks. Yay! And all of the textiles are made using organic cotton or hemp and their cards and posters are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled papers. Fantastic.

Jump over to Peris and Corr and pick up something for someone you love, then leave a comment below!

**Giveaway will end on February 23rd.
