August Favorites! As a cruelty-free designer, I care about recommending products to my clients that are safe for the whole family! As we spend more time at home either working or home schooling our kids, I believe that you must design spaces dedicated for work and play. I put together this list of my recent favorites in preparation for the first day of “school” this August. This list is full of organizational office goodies that are for you and your kids. Keep scrolling to check them out!
You deserve to have a beautiful space from which you can work at home! This desk is handcrafted with reclaimed wood! And, BONUS, this desk plants one tree per unit sold as part of a reforestation effort with One Tree Planted. The shop’s current tree planting program has assisted with the reforestation of almost 100 acres destroyed by the Californian wildfires in 2018.
This beautiful & playful teepee is made of unbleached, cotton canvas without any toxic chemical treatment or flame retardants! It even comes equipped with a color changing LED light at the top which helps to create a fun atmosphere inside.
I love this floor cushion for kids especially because it’s safe & healthy. Both the outer canvas material AND the filling are made with OEKO-TEX certified materials. This means that they meet a standard that tests whether or not a material contains toxic chemicals. This floor cushion has been deemed SAFE for you kiddos!
This personalized wall calendar works as a family ‘command center’ or personal organization station. Each wall calendar comes with: 1 Set of standoffs in the color of your choice, 1 Wet erase marker in black & Easy to follow hanging instructions!
This fun play time mat is handmade from 100%, hypoallergenic cotton. It’s a great way to stimulate your child’s imagination & creativity while you’re hard at work in some other room of your home!
Since bean bags are so easy to move around, your kid can take this with them to any room of your home. This chair is a way to keep them comfy & focused at the same time! Plop this linen bean bag chair in their “study zone” with some noise blocking earphones & they’ll be set!
These wooden scoops, tongs and cups and pots simulate fine motor skills and sensory play, for more info contact Lofty PM. Toys like these a great at keeping your child’ attention for long periods of time AND, because they’re made from wood, playtime will remain a quiet activity.
