Friday's Gracious Giveaways: Kid Bean


 This giveaway is closed.

Being a mom who owns an on-line business, I like to support other mom-owned businesses.  For this reason, I am excited to introduce you to Kid Bean.  Kid Bean is an online boutique of earth-friendly, labor-friendly, vegan baby and children's products.  Not only does this boutique have beautiful products at reasonable prices, their website is easy to navigate and offers lots of valuable information on green living, baby-wearing, cloth diapering, sustainable living, and much more.
Kid Bean very generously sent me two toys to review.  One was this adorable New Native Organic Cotton Child's Doll Sling.  This was perfect for my girls because they are intrigued with baby wearing.  Now, they can wear their own babies (or stuffed monkeys). 
I was really impressed with this doll sling.  The organic cotton material is thick, so I know it will hold up well in the wash.  It is also simple to use with no rings, belts, or buckles.  It is designed to just slip on, so Gracen can put it on by herself.  This would be a great gift for a child with a new baby brother or sister.
The other toy I was sent is the D and Me Wooden Logging Truck.  From the pictures, you can see that it has been much appreciated.  Wes has enjoyed using the truck and 6 logs in conjunction with his unit blocks.  This truck was made with fair labor in the USA.  In addition, it is made of solid hardwoods from sustainably managed forests.  Definitely a toy you can feel good about buying!
 
For this giveaway, Kid Bean is offering these beautiful toys to two lucky winners.  One winner will receive the D and Me Wooden Logging Truck.  The other will receive the doll sling in the color of her choice.
