Katan Children

Creating a Green Community

 

We strive to provide children with natural materials that are manufactured in a sustainable fashion. We seek companies that provide minimal packaging, non toxic finishing, and wood from sustainably farmed forests. Many of our toys are hand made eliminating the need for machines driven by oil and energy consumption. We work with local non profits in a variety of ways to make our materials more accessible to all children.

Why Buy Eco-Friendly Open Ended Toys? 

Materials are recycled, recyclable or biodegradable, reducing the impact on our environment.

Wooden toys provide children another way to connect with our natural environment.

Eco-friendly toys are often heirloom quality providing years of use.  You will not need to buy as many toys and this will impact the environment in a positive way.

Eco-friendly toys are nontoxic for your child’s health.

Open ended toys stimulate brain development. When children play with open ended toys they are active participants in their play and are provided opportunities to think flexibly and problem solve.
