EduFunToys.com now offers the Sprig Toys line up of activity vehicle and toy construction vehicles. Sprig Toys best selling item is the Discover Rig – an eco-friendly toy truck. Inspired by safaris, it is designed to take kids on indoor and outdoor adventures.

As kids push the Discover Rig, the driver, called an adventure guide, lights up and sings a song. The Rig will also emit realistic engine noise. So the more the Discover Rig is pushed, the more your child will want to see and hear it.

The Cap Faraday Adventure guide comes with the Rig. He sings a song about his trek through the African Serengeti. While he sings, you can hear animal noises.

You child makes all of this electrical and recorded fun possible, no batteries are required. The wheels works like an electrical generator powering all of the activity.

It’s Educational

Trucks and construction vehicles are great pretend time toys. Kids like to create their own worlds. The Discover Rig is designed to bring new worlds to your child.

The story behind each adventure guide opens your child to new experiences and helps transport your child to a different part of the world. From Africa to the Arctic, then from Mt. Everest to South American and Australia.

Pretend play is a critical component of child development. It helps kids develop communication and language skills. Helps them interact with other children and adults and provides a level of self-confidence.

The physical activity helps them build strong core muscles. Research has shown that core muscle development is a key factor in class-room learning. Of course, when they are running around outside pushing the Discover Rig, they can’t be inside playing video games.

It’s Fun

The Discover Rig is designed for fun. Its big wheels and push bar make it easy for kids to push indoors and out. Kids play with it right out of the box. The adventure guide’s helmet lights up as soon as the Discover Rig begins moving. Then just switch modes to hear engine sounds or the song.

The Sprig line is designed to be expandable. The Discover Rig can hold three adventure guides. Firewire technology allows each adventure guide to clip into the driver seat and sing his (or her) own song.

The manufacture states, “We help make the world a better place and we get kids off the couch. Pretty cool, huh?”

A Green Toy That’s Eco-Friendly

The Discover Rig is eco-friendly in every way. It is made from a composite of reclaimed wood products and recycled plastic. Colored dyes are mixed into the composite before the product is manufactured. No decorative paints are used.

The packaging is minimal and made of post-consumer waste. And the manufacturing facilities were selected based on their commitment to minimizing their carbon footprint.

Where Can I Buy It?

The Sprig Toys Discover Rig can be found at online store such as EduFunToys.com and brick and mortar store across the country.

The Sprig Adventure series includes the Discover Rig, the Rally Racer and Baja Buggy. Each comes with an adventure guide. Each is sold separately.

Having a baby is one of the most monumental events in one’s life and celebrating this occasion is a great opportunity to share with your closest and dearest friends and family. Choosing the best stationery available for this baby shower can be a difficult task, but choosing the invitations does not need to be.

We are all used to the traditional baby shower invites of promising pink or blue accompanied by the sweet little ribbons attached and a neat border around the words. However, there are many styles of invitations for this type of event.

Nowadays, there are thousands of DIY ideas, with the rise in popularity of scrap booking, and women’s magazines, you can let your imagination run wild. Here are a few ideas to get you going.

The Creativity Inspired by Knowing

If you know the *** of the baby it makes the options for specialized invites much easier, as well as opening up the option in a specific direction. For example if it is a girl, then the invites can be in the form of little dolls. You can buy small inexpensive dolls from your 99-cent store. Once you have the dolls, you can tie the small invitation around the neck in the form of a bib, color coordinating, as you desire.

If you choose to use a doll for your invitation, small clothing for dolls is also a great option. This is a great template for your invitation. Machine activated and run embroidery can emboss almost anything onto material, so why not your invitations? The idea is the same as the bib mentioned above, but in this case, it can be baby-sized baby grows or doll cloths – just make sure your chosen item is large enough to fit your message.

The special advantage of these alterative invitations is that they should not be thrown away, stuffed in a shoebox, or placed in the attic. They can be kept and enjoyed as tiny works of art, and a reminder of the special event that celebrated the arrival of new life.

Waiting for the Surprise

When the *** of the baby is not known, then the options lead more towards the unisex theme. You may feel that your options here are more limited, but this is not a limitation on your options, but merely a new category! Think here in terms of general colors and objects that apply to both boys and girls. Diapers, rattles, and pacifiers may all be used as the medium for your message.

A simple yet effective invite is the pacifier and by simply attaching the invite to the pacifier with a well chosen ribbon is great, but you can take it one step further and use flavored candy pacifiers that everyone can bring along and enjoy at the special occasion.

The same idea can work with a rattle or any simple baby toy. You just have to attach the invite to the toy using a ribbon, and you instantly have a unique and colorful invitation.

Make Technology Work for You

If many of your invites are to be sent through the mail, then acknowledging that we live in a technologically advanced age can be fun!

Make a CD or even a DVD invitation. Fill the disc with your choice of soothing lullabies or your own calming music. With an introduction of you inviting your guest to the party while including all of the relevant details and information. An audio clip is perfect, but if you have the opportunity, a video clip is even better!

Safe with the Classics

You can never go wrong with a well thought out box of goodies because everybody loves gifts, even if it is just a novelty item. People love getting interesting items with an invite, and one or two small gifts that are applicable to the situation is the perfect way to make your invitation and the party a memorable one.

Fill a box with all the things you can partake of while pregnant, or the things you have started craving the most! Fill the box with items that may define your life for the next several years, like baby food, bibs, tissues, headache tablets, and a soothing jazz compilation for those tough days.

Baby shower invitations can be a fun and rewarding experience because they allow you to use your creativity. There are many invitation themes available for this type of event, but you may want to consider creating your own. By using items and colors that symbolize a baby such as a pacifier, diaper, toys or dolls, you can really set the tone of the event. These invitations can also be treated as a gift or work of art because of the time and effort put into their creation. If you are planning a baby shower in the near future, you may want to consider these tips for finding the best type of invitation for your event.

Organic baby products have the advantage of contributing to the comfort and health of your baby which makes them the preferred choice by discriminating parents. In addition to the individual benefit to each baby who is not exposed to harmful ingredients in traditional baby products, the use of organic baby products is helpful to the health of our planet. Each year thousands of tons of waste products are dumped in landfills and into the streams and rivers of this country. Unfortunately, the manufacture of many traditional products includes the release of carcinogens into the waterways. Tremendous improvements have been made in recent years, but reducing the amount of these substances even further is a positive move.

Social Responsibility

Now that you are the parent of a new baby, you are more likely to realize the importance of taking good care of the planet that you will be handing on to your children and grandchildren. Using organic baby products is just one way of improving the quality of air and water on the planet. On an individual level, using organic baby products is more likely to ensure that your baby doesn’t suffer the effects of unpleasant ingredients being placed on tender skin as you use lotions, creams and powders in an effort to protect the skin.

Water and Air

It is hard to believe that purchasing organic baby products is a way to help take care of the planet Earth, but it is true. As you reduce your use of products that contain irritants and allergens and commit to eliminating the use of products with dangerous chemicals involved in either the production or the manufacturing of the item, you will reduce the number of challenges to the air and water of this planet. There will no longer be chemicals released into the air and water. Refuse to purchase detergents, for example that contain hidden carcinogens. If organic baby products are safe for infants, shouldn’t we all be using organic products?

Sustainable Products

Organic baby products are a great choice in another way. Because the materials that are used to produce the items are made of naturally occurring substances, such as cotton, silk and wool, there will always be more of the product, so long as farmer and agriculturalists continue to do their chosen work. The materials going into the making of organic baby products are grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers so there is nothing harmful going into the soil or air.

Public Eye

The concept of using organic baby products as opposed to standard products is increasingly in the public eye nowadays. When you take a sensible concept such as the organic marketplace and provide it with good word of mouth approval and availability of the product through a world wide internet, the concept will continue to grow in popularity and usage. Online marketing is the best venue for the small business owner and the business start up entrepreneur. It is a situation where the more sales there are, the more products you are likely to find in the marketplace.

Well, the question is quite easy answered by those parents who’s children are suffering from allergies of different kinds. In most fabrics of today there are thousands of toxic substances and colors, that can be very harmful for your baby, especially if she’s allergic or has allergy in the family, and therefore easily could develop it.

Organic bedding products automatically provide relief from allergies. Well documented scientific research and documentation has proven that organic cotton and wool help to reduce discomfort and skin rashes, that you can get from normal fabrics, if you have allergy tendencies. The benefit for your baby is the softness and quality that only organic cotton can provide, and it is one of the top reasons people choose organic cotton for their baby’s delicate skin. Cotton grown in conventional ways is poorer and weakened by the chemicals used in growing, processing and dying of the cotton. All these things break the fibre down creates a much weaker and reduced product in the end of the production line.

But there might be other reasons for wanting your baby or toddler to sleep in organic sheets or even wear organic clothes. Small children’s skin are quite thin and not really use to all the toxins and poisons that is in the environment around us. To give a baby organic food and let him wear organic cotton, can be a soft way to start off in this world, before he gradually is used to environmental circumstances. We can’t always keep the baby as safe as we want to, there are air pollutions where ever in the world you are staying, unnatural growing fertilizers in our foods and the list goes on and on. But maybe we can make the first time in the little ones life a little better, a little easier for a small body to adjust to.

When it comes to organic cotton, north America produces excellent organic cotton and wool, meeting all the international standards for quality and safety. And there’s an ethical point to it all. Ecologically produced cotton is fair trade, meaning that ecological cotton from India are in most cases produced under human conditions, with absolutely no child labour and with a fair salary to the farmers. Cotton farming is a very high factor to pollutions in the world, and organic farming turns those bad numbers upside down. Did you know that: ecological farms have 44% more birds on their lands than other cotton farmers? More that five times as many wild plants? Only that information should tell us something.

When you think of organic beddings you might think about boring watery colors in beige and natural white only, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! There are many environmental ways of colorings these days, and you can get great looking products, even if they are ecological.

So, why don’t do your little one a favour and let him or her sleep in some environmentally and physically friendly sheets!
