In my last post Fair Trade Toys- A Great Choice for Kids Play Part 1 I introduced why fair trade toys are an excellent children's toy choice. Here are some more great reasons!
Made of Natural Materials
When buying fair trade toys you don’t have
to worry about dangerous chemicals or toxins that could be lurking inside. Most
fair trade toys are made from natural materials and fibres such as wood, wool,
paper, cardboard, fabrics, etc.

Fair trade toys are environmentally friendly.
Most fair trade toys are made of natural materials and there is usually no
wastage, everything is used. In fact in some cases the artisans use remnants from
the production of other products. It is also common for fair trade products to
be made of reused or recycled materials, which of course meet strict hygiene
and safety standards.

Promote Cultural Understanding
Children playing with fair trade toys will
learn to respect and appreciate cultural diversity. Many fair trade toys
available are often made in traditional ways using the style, colours, shapes
and patterns used by the race/culture of the artisans.
