All sorts of products for gardening with kids, even a special section for products suitable for teens.<br />
From the <span style="font-size: small;">National Gardening Association, h</span>as a health/ community/Earth stewardship intent.<br />

Also- a soil test kit is <a href="http://www.hometrainingtools.com/soil-test-lab-kit/p/BE-SOILLAB/" target="_blank">here at this site</a>.<br />

For your teen or grad who will be leaving the nest, here is a great idea!<br />
<br />
<br />
Buy eco <a href="http://www.ecobags.com/Our_Products" target="_blank">shopping bags</a> and then include perhaps:<br />
<br />
<br />
Recipes of yours for easy, healthy meals (familiar foods stand more chance of being prepared)<br />
Cookbook<br />
Membership to<a href="http://www.coopdirectory.org/" target="_blank"> local food co-op</a><br />
<a href="http://www.localharvest.org/csa/" target="_blank">seasonal produce subscription </a><br />
A few healthy staples or treats. What about dried nori seaweed or some organic <a href="http://www.chocolatedecadence.com/" target="_blank">chocolates</a>?<br />
Cute fridge magnets<br />
<a href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/gift-cards" target="_blank">Gift card</a> to someplace they can only buy healthy food<br />
<br />
I got this idea from<a href="http://www.greendeals.org/green-gifts-for-grads" target="_blank"> greendeals.org</a><span style="font-size: xx-small;"> Image is from Eco Bags</span>Catherine Wesley, Bibliogoblinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01526029908954776852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146069168029204932.post-21821951548097714152009-07-21T14:36:00.000-07:002013-07-21T14:40:13.839-07:00Acorn Naturalists<a href="http://www.acornnaturalists.com/store/images/centerl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="http://www.acornnaturalists.com/store/images/centerl.jpg" width="320" /></a>Environmental education products. <br />

This site is mostly geared towards weddings, but if you are looking for an unforgettable party for someone who enjoys butterflies you must take a look. How does a butterfly release at the climax of the party sound to you?<br />
They also have plantable wildflower paper invitations for baby showers and other parties. Plantable confetti, too. There are live butterfly growing kits and other products for kids. I
won't mention the beautiful butterfly cookies because you don't want to
know about sugar
cookies, right?

Because each child is different, and if ill there will be special needs and things to avoid, it's probably best if you can put together a gift basket yourself. (Keep in mind that some medications can make it difficult to read or focus on a task).<br />
<br />
The following could be included in a basket or other container (many of these would be great gifts in their own right):<br />
play set with lots of little <a href="http://www.stubbypencilstudio.com/product/BCU_SAFARISET/Safari-Animals-Eraser-Set/" target="_blank">figures</a> (the <a href="http://www.compare99.com/compare.html?q=eco-expedition&ort=Eco-Expedition-Sale&adid=iaCkp56nxqBfeNnSyJWbp8rR0Vehnp6nxqBfeNnSyJWbp8rR0VelcMjD2KRYlsnD1W6X&ad=2&gaa=AK&gclid=CJKM35emobgCFWXZQgodUXMAsw" target="_blank">eco expedition</a> sets are nice, but not of eco materials as far as I can tell), books, approved-for-patient snacks, stuffed animal, cute animal slippers, colorful socks, lip balm, <a href="http://store.barefootbooks.com/whole-world-eco-fun-activities.html" target="_blank">activity book</a>, craft supplies or <a href="http://www.barefootbooks.com/kids/arts-and-crafts-activities/" target="_blank">arts and crafts project with companion book</a>, or Spa Comforts aromatherapy warmth or cooling <a href="http://www.highlandsdayspastore.com/spa-comforts.html" target="_blank">comfort critters.</a> What about a little <a href="http://www.tinydeal.com/eco-toy-ant-workshop-color-assorted-p-59312.html" target="_blank">ant farm</a> or a <a href="http://www.growingtreetoys.com/product/worm-farm-eco-system-kit" target="_blank">worm farm</a>? <a href="http://www.tinyfootprinttoys.com/toys/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=46" target="_blank">Travel toys</a> can be appropriate in bed because they are a little easier to handle. <a href="http://mommosttraveled.com/coolest-eco-friendly-travel-toy-tegu-pocket-pouch/" target="_blank">Here</a> is an especially nice magnetic toy. (If child is in hospital, make sure magnets will be OK.) <a href="http://www.moolka.com/Puzzles" target="_blank">Moolka</a> has a good selection of affordable puzzles. Consider size if they need to fit on a bed tray. This <a href="http://www.growingtreetoys.com/product/critter-clinic-toy" target="_blank">animal hospital</a> set has a few (perhaps familiar) medical instruments which the young child can use to treat toy animals. Tiny lightweight <a href="http://www.inhabitots.com/miniature-lille-huset-dollhouses-are-cute-and-customizable/" target="_blank">doll houses</a> could work well on a bed tray, and also double as a craft project. Include some stickers and supplies for decoration. If these houses aren't affordable for you, what about making your own? Older kids might like <a href="http://www.shop.mybestwoodnthings.com/category.sc;jsessionid=EEECE425277FD5F70BFC5EFD3850453B.m1plqscsfapp05?categoryId=2" target="_blank">brain-teasers</a>. Check my Little Gifts category for lots more ideas. <br />
It might be fun to have a theme, such as the favorite animal, but it's not necessary.<br />
<br />
If you are unable to create your own basket, you can order a custom-made gift basket. At <a href="http://www.basketsbyrita.com/Specialty-Gifts-_c_23.html" target="_blank">this site </a><br />
you can order an eco-friendly children's gift basket. I recommend <a href="http://wellbaskets.com/" target="_blank">this site</a>, where the baskets include healthy food and you can order based on circumstances of recipient. This includes special diet, vegan.<br />
For vegan or non-dairy, there is also <a href="http://www.veganstore.com/category/vegan-gift-baskets" target="_blank">this</a>. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Image by George Hodan is from <a href="http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/view-image.php?image=27435&picture=old-teddy-bear" target="_blank">publicdomainpictures.net</a> </span>Catherine Wesley, Bibliogoblinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01526029908954776852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146069168029204932.post-35239263760895438322009-05-16T21:10:00.000-07:002013-06-20T20:24:08.861-07:00Green Party Goods<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Homemade or purchased, this is fun and art in the wind.<br />

Here are some places to go buy a kite. I couldn't find a store that sells only kites made with eco-friendly materials. Any suggestions??<br />

Unfinished wood trucks, trains, farm equipment at reasonable prices. Leave unfinished to enjoy the natural beauty of the wood or apply a finish that YOU feel comfortable with. No nails used.<br />
Mid-sized toys have detail, all have pleasing design.<br />

OK, this is a bit of a stretch to include this site in a list of green sites. But it is such a <span style="font-style: italic;">cool</span> site, I just have to share it with you. This is especially great for kids that are technologically oriented.<br />
Take some time to look around the site, you'll find some fun items that may be that "something new" you're looking for.<br />
<br />
They do have a few things that actually are somewhat green - the Sneaky Books, for instance, include recycling and conservation techniques.<br />
<br />
"The Kill-A-Watt allows you to connect your appliances and assess how efficient they are."(Find that in Essential Gear).<br />
<br />
They have solar powered items. (Type 'solar' into their search field.)<br />
<br />
Also, a t-shirt that says, "Think Globally. Act within local variable scope." <!-- Bulleted portion of the description, if needed --><br />
<br />
This is a great place to look for imagination-promoting toys, science stuff and cool puzzles, too.<br />
