Earth Friendly Educational Giveaway!

I have been thinking a lot recently about the importance of educating young ones about climate change, global warming, and the environmental crisis. As a teacher, I try to emphasize good habits in my classroom, like saving electricity, recycling, and not wasting food. However,with so many great eco-friendly friendly products out there I think it’s time to take it a step further.

With this in mind I created a giveaway basket with an assortment of items to teach young ones to care for the future of our planet in fun and creative ways!

Here’s a peek at what’s inside:

Hello Treehouse Goods Recycled Hangers

The idea for a giveaway came to me when the creator of Hello Treehouse Goods reached out to me to collaborate. They make baby and children’s hangers that are 100% recycled and recyclable and made locally in Raleigh. Because they are made with recycled paperboard you can also customize and decorate them! What a fun activity for a baby shower or to do with your child! You can write on with sharpies or other art materials!

Two board books by Little Green Books

I included two adorable books to read with your child. Don’t Throw That Away! is a lift-the-flap book all about recycling and reusing! It has some very cute and creative ideas for reusing old items. This is Our World is an interactive story about caring for our Earth by reducing pollution, recycling and more. The book includes nine double-sided puzzles! The best thing about these books is that they are made from 100% recycled materials, so you can practice what you preach!
