Does your little princess or prince love to dress up in faux diamonds and gems? If so, proceed with caution. Some play jewelry may contain lead. {I can’t believe this, it’s horrible.} A good rule of thumb is too avoid buying toys from vending machines or toys with small metallic parts. These small parts are easy to swallow. Search for suppliers and stores that don’t use lead in their products or visit The Center for Environment Health for more information. {The little girl in the picture is my niece, she is so adorable, right?}
What are your child’s favorite green toys?

An big empty cardboard appliance box is the Best for the boys, it’s a rocket ship, a fort, a ship, you name. Thanks, S.G. for sharing the pic of your niece, so adorable.
I posted some pics of the jewelry I’ve made with upcycled beads and findings on my blog today, http://comicallyflawed.blogspot.com/2009/08/pink-accessories-for-pink-saturday.html
I hope you can stop by sometime, Thank you!!!
Hi Martha,
I agree. Kids can play with anything. Eben is always asking for a large box to make a fort with…now if I could only find a large box. lol. I checked out your blog, it is nice. I love the blog button.

Most stores will give you (or save you) boxes if you ask. Sometimes they will tell you a certain time and day to come in to get the best boxes. Tons of fun to make forts with the larger boxes. The cats in my house will go crazy at the sight of an empty box, any size.
Hi dcg2u,
Thanks for the tip. I will have to pick one up. Eben would love it.
