Green Options

Art supplies are wonderful and versatile. What other items offer fun play, creative expression, and learning all in one…for very inexpensive prices?

With art supplies children have the world at their fingertips. There is so much that can be done, be made, be transformed…but with toxic ingredients like lead showing up in kids’ products you want to be sure that the creative supplies are not only fun but safe for the little ones.

Stubby Pencil Studio offers the biggest selection around that I have found, of eco-friendly, non-toxic art supplies and old fashioned games and toys. Perfect items to stuff in Easter baskets.

I have never been one to go all out for Easter. I have friends that treat it like it is Christmas all over again. I think that’s crazy. I have always just thrown some candy in the Easter baskets and bought a few goodies they’ll need for the upcoming Spring and summer seasons- like a summer outfit or two and some outdoor toys: balls, garden gloves, sandbox toys, etc. Simple stuff. This year I am putting forth the extra effort to make sure it is simple and sustainable.
