Teether c/o Öko Creations
Straight to the mouth.
If you have a baby or young toddler, you know this is how they interact with the world. Everything goes straight to the mouth. It is no wonder why the majority of toys made for this age are a teether of some sort. There are a lot of teether toys out there, but not all are created equal. When it comes to something your child chews and sucks on for months on end, the materials it is made from become a concern. Which is why so many parents look toward more natural teethers, free of the brightly colored plastic coming from a questionable source. Our current global economy gives us more choice than ever, and one great eco choice is Öko Creations!
Öko Creations, founded in 2009 by sisters Marie-Noël and Melanie Beetz, specializes in the manufacturing and retail of Eco-friendly textiles. Each product is made with organic natural fibers or recycled polyester and low impact dyes to create a small environmental footprint. They use packaging from recycled materials and even keep the inter office supplies as Earth friendly as possible. Öko Creations are truly green creations. Their products are all made in Canada and include bibs, wipes, blankets, nursing pads, cloth menstrual pads, wash clothes, and more.
An Öko-teether has a organic cotton cloth ‘tag’ and a wooden ring made of maple. The maple has been smoothed and coated with beeswax, so no splinters, no worries. The ring attaches onto the cotton tag via a terry cloth loop.
The hard and soft contrast offer the best of both worlds. Baby can chew the soft fabric or the hard wood, depending on her preference at that time. The fabric makes the teether easy to grasp and hold. The colors are bright and attractive. Not to mention, you can simply detach the wood ring and wash the fabric in your washing machine when it gets dirty.
Teethers are offered in a variety of cute patterns and retail for $16.99 (Canadian currency). The fabric patterns available are the same options in the bibs and blankets, so you could get a matching set for a great gift!
Cute and earth friendly is a win-win. With durable stitching, this teether will last as long as you need it too. Visit Öko Creations to learn more and see all their adorable handcrafted options!
