If you're shopping for toys this holiday season,

LOOK FOR:

Organic, untreated cotton, wool
(No pesticides; wool is fire resistant)

Unfinished, solid, sustainable wood - not plywood or laminated wood
(No toxic paint or fumes)

ACMI’s AP label on art supplies
(Screens out toxic materials)

PVC-free toys: Brio, Chicco, Early Start, Lego, Little Tykes, Primetime Playthings, Sassy and Tiny Love
(Protect from phthalates, lead, cadmium)

LOOK OUT FOR:

PVC plastic (#3 recycling symbol)
(Hormone-disrupting phtalates, carcinogenic dioxins)

Mercury in batteries
(Harms developing brains)

Lead in jewelry and metal toys
(Harms developing brains)

Stain- and moth-proofed fabrics
(Can trigger allergic reactions)
