Today I announced to my facebook fans about our new Eco Toys & Baby store opening in Hawthorn, Melbourne in 10 days!!

We moved here just over a week ago and have been busy renovating, painting and preparing the shop for the grand opening which will be on Sat 8th May, just in time for Mother’s Day.

And it’s not just our fabulous range of toys that you will find in our store. Our store will focus on a wide range of gorgeous baby and mum products, all made ethically using the finest sustainable and organic materials.

The shop will have a large play area with plenty of toys and activities for our resident toy tester (my daughter Safari) to play with and of course any other children that come and visit.

Mums can relax and even feed their babies or toddlers in our comfortable breastfeeding chair if needed and our dads are also made to feel right at home with our cool range of eco friendly nappy bags & carriers, specifically for dads.

Eco Toys will be running a series of monthly workshop on various topics such as natural birth, breastfeeding, benefits of natural play, baby wearing, cloth nappies and author Robin Grile’s  parenting for a peaceful world workshop.

Our store will be a place where mums & dads to be or families with kids can come and source information and view our huge range of eco friendly toys and baby products, including organic skincare, feeding, bedding, carriers, organic clothing, bath products and much more.

Our shop is about bringing change and making a difference to our children’s future. Eco Toys & Baby is about creating a community that cares, asks and demands safer and ethical products.   This of course all starts at the beginning, when we have a baby.

Here’s a little sneak preview of what arrived today!!

I seriously want a baby just so I can use this! It’s stunning, simple & elegant . . a bit like all our toys!

Over the next 10 days I will be sharing with you our journey as a family to bring a little bit of change in this world.
