Valentines Day (non-toxic!) Gift Guide for Kids!
Valentines day is actually one of my favorite holidays- I know its a ‘Hallmark’ holiday but the idea of celebrating LOVE, all kinds of love, is something I can get behind and love getting behind. Plus, there is something about hearts that I love.
Some parents enjoy buying little gifts for their kiddos on Valentines day. Be warned: there are tons of Valentines Day trinkets that are made with less than ideal materials and potentially can expose your little one to harmful chemicals. Additionally, Valentine themed candy will be filled with sugar and artificial flavors and dyes (for more on why you will want to avoid those read this post)
Here are some, totally non-toxic, Valentine Day picks for kids of all ages from babies to preteen… further down a shout out to cleaner treats
