How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Little Artist Giveaway

in Lifestyle on 08/20/10

Stortz & Associates Inc. is Canada’s leading distributor and importer of Eco Friendly toys. They have become my “go to” company if I want to find unique, fun and award winning toys!

I am thrilled to be able to offer another giveaway to Canadians courtesy of this special company.

In our house we do a LOT of arts and crafts. I’m not the structured kind of arts and craft gal, I’m more the here you go girls…look at all this fab stuff, create! Then let them go at it type. My approach has clearly worked because these two girls see potential art projects in every box we recycle and every leaf we pass by.

I was excited to discover Clementine Art Products. These products are not just non-toxic, they are made from natural ingredients, with no added chemical dyes making them extra safe for the most special people in our lives. Our children. image

Clementine Natural Paint. My girls loved the bold fresh colours all packaged up in these beautiful containers. The paint and marker colours were “real” colours, earthy if you will, and inspired some truly gorgeous work.

image Clementine Soy Crayons. Oh beautiful soy crayons, where were you when my daughters were younger?? I recall panicking as I realized the indents in my daughters big chubby crayons were teeth marks freshly made by those drooly toddler teeth. More then a couple of times I picked bright blue and red wax from between those pearly whites….and I was watching them I swear I was, but toddlers can be quick! An all natural crayon would have been one less thing to worry about. Not only that, but look at the shape of these crayons! They encourage proper grasp at a very young age and make it easier for little ones to hang on to. Brilliant.

I was also given the chance to review a toy from ImagiPlay. Their mission statement is inspiring:

ImagiPLAY is committed to the development and distribution of open-ended educational toys and children’s accessories that inspire their imaginations, introduce them to the wonders of the natural world around them, and nurture their sense of discovery. We are equally committed to producing only high-quality products using materials and processes that show respect for our planet and all the people and creatures upon it.

Every toy we produce is earth friendly, child safe and people kind. That is our commitment to our children and their planet.

So much fun to colour a puzzle that then becomes uniquely your own. There is a wide variety of “Colour Me Up’s” available all made with the same quality products. ImagiPlay also has some of the most durable and unique puzzles known to man. We have a set that is over 5 years old. There are some pieces missing at this point, but the colours are still bold and my girls remember it as one of their favourites.

Thanks again to the generous people at Stortz & Associates I am able to offer an incredible giveaway which will include:

1 ImagiPlay Kit-Color Me Up Panda (not shown)

1 Set of Natural Markers from Clementine Art

1 Set of Natural Crayons from Clementine Art and

1 Set of Natural Paint

Totalling a prize valued at more then $50.00!

      I think green toys will be a good addition. I am now a grandma & have major concerns about what my little ones will be inheriting
