Do you have children who go to school, daycare, or preschool? Then look here. As we approach this year's school start, we're offering a guide to natural alternatives to common products for children.
Our children, just like us, are exposed to a range of potentially harmful chemicals in our modern world – in everything from plastic toys, clothes, crafts, stuffed animals, industrially produced food and drinks, etc.
We want to inspire you to choose natural and chemical-smart options for your children, both for their sake and for our environment's sake.
Eat & Drink
Do you need a good lunch box, water bottle, or eco-friendly utensils for your little ones? We have several alternatives instead of plastic containers that can be a hidden source of unnecessary chemicals in the home.
A Slice of Green offers absolutely beautiful lunch boxes in various sizes that are perfect for school.
Klean Kanteen's lunch boxes and food containers are also practical for both school and outings.
Paint & Craft
Common, industrially produced pens, crayons and glue often contain chemicals that we really don't want near our children.Lead and mercury are, for example, common in older crayons, solvents in pens and glue.Chemical dyes aren't great to ingest either.That's why we have a range of non-toxic colored pencils, crayons, paints and glue that the little ones can use.The German company ÖkoNORM offers loads of wonderful craft products.
Party
Did you know that even common "party products," such as straws, balloons and banners for children's parties can be a source of plastic residues that children ingest by playing with them?Here you can find straws that can be used over and over again.If you're going to bake for the party, choose stainless steel or glass.
Play & Cuddle
Even conventionally manufactured stuffed animals and blankets are a source of pesticides and small plastic particles that we'd rather not have in our children's bodies.Wonderfully beautiful wool blankets for big and small in natural materials without harmful additives are offered.Fantastically beautiful organic toys for both indoor and outdoor play as well as role-playing games.
Non-Toxic Body Care for Children
An area of concern for many parents is the content in body care products for children. We at Glimja have dedicated over 15 years to scrutinizing ingredient lists and testing products on both ourselves and our own children. That's why we're particularly proud of our range of pure and natural body care products for children. Don't forget to use natural laundry detergent for the children's clothes. If you have problems with head lice at school, access information on how to handle it.
Supplements for Children
To boost your children's nutritional intake, it can be a good idea to include a few selected natural supplements before the school year starts, such as Vitamin D and Omega 3 or a multivitamin. We offer various nutritional products adapted for children. Feel free to read more about supplements for children if you want to learn more about this topic. A good idea for getting children to consume nutritious vegetables, fruits and superfoods like spirulina or camu camu is to have a good blender at home to make delicious smoothies, sauces, soups, etc. We hope you find everything you need here with us. We're always here if you have any questions, and we wish you a glimmering autumn!
