Organic cotton fruits & veggies

From children's books to baby toys.  You may wonder where I'm going with these  recent posts -- other than to  a more innocent stage in the life cycle.  

Call me idealistic, but I believe books and toys that convey positive food messages plant seeds in young minds...

 

and help nurture a generation that will  choose foods that are healthy for the body and the planet for a lifetime.

See more of Under the Nile's charming farmers' market here. 

Hat-tip to the lovely blog about extraordinary items, Roadside Scholar, for introducing me to these organic cotton toys.
