Fair Trade Dollhouse from HollowTreeToys.com

Our post today is about this Fair Trade Dollhouse WITH FURNITURE!  carefully crafted by the "Fatima Center" in Thailand;  this pretty, handmade cotton dollhouse opens up into a fully furnished bedroom. The furniture includes a bed, two love seats, a coverlet with pillow and a heart-shaped throw pillow (six removable pieces). The front door unsnaps and opens, and the roof is attached with velcro and can be fully removed. The house unzips on either side to open up to a bedroom. Or, unzip both sides and it fully collapses and folds up. The handle on the roof makes it easy to carry around for travel. The house and furniture are compatible with any dolls or animals 5 inches or under. Size 11 x 7 x 12 inches high. Handmade, of course.  This little house is a product of TreeHollowToys.com

We absolutely LOVE all the details and how light it is!!

Carefully handcrafted by women at the Fatima Center, which employs over 150 women in Bangkok, Thailand, in an area where dignified work is scarce. Through their work, artisans are able to provide for their families and access educational opportunities for their children. The Fatima Center also provides child care at the Good Shepherd Day Care Center in the same complex.

Yubo Lunchboxes are our latest obsession. They are our favorites because they are:

• BPA Free
• Recyclable
• Antimicrobial
• Dishwasher Safe

Yubo bpa free lunchwear started with two concerned parents frustrated with the amount of plastic baggies used every day. Explaining:

 “The typical store bought lunchboxes we owned were impossible to clean, they collected crumbs and foul old-food odors. Worst of all, our kids were over the novelty of their lunchboxes less than a week after buying them! That was the start of our journey to re-invent the lunchbox. We knew there had to be a better way. We set out to balance our passion for the environment with our kids’ passion for having fun.”

 

The lunchboxes have different features that allow parents and kids to personalize them, from mix and match veggie and fruit containers to faceplates! What a fantastic gift!
