Eco-Kids: All Natural and Handmade Art Supplies
Eco-Kids is the brainchild of mother and former nanny Cammie Weeks, who launched the company in 2008 after her recipe for "eco-dough" (handmade, all-natural Playdough made with household ingredients like flour, salt, organic rosemary oil, and plant and vegetable extracts) became a big hit at farmers' markets across California. The collection now includes other art supplies like colored pencils and art pads, as well as gluten-free versions of the eco-dough and the eco-paint.
A reviewer at Cool Hunting wrote that her two-year-old "loves her eco-dough and eco-paints... and the naturally vivid colors please the eye and make clean-up time easier. The organic-rosemary-scented dough (to keep it fresh) stays malleable without being sticky like other brands, and comes in a gluten-free version for kids with celiac disease or special dietary restrictions."
Prices range from $12 for the eco pencils set to $30 for the eco-dough set. Everything is safe to eat as well, and comply with the CPSIA standards.
