Hansel E Gretel


We all want to protect our children's health. For some, this means reducing exposure to synthetic pesticides, using low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) paints, and increasing our children's intake of fruits and veggies. Since we like to buy our fruits and veggies every Wednesday at the Motta Market, we have the healthy food diet covered. Now, we found a great place to shop in Acireale to purchase non-toxic toys. At Hansel e Gretel, they have toys made by Haba and Sevi. These are European brands that are safe, wooden, and lead-free. One of the most interesting toys is a scooter. Children (3-5 years old) would need to balance themselves. Some scooters have pedals, but most do not, so children would also actually exercise. These are a big hit in Germany right now. This wooden scooter is obviously different from our American gimmicky bling-y kid Escalades we see kids "driving." We are not against bling, but we are pro-healthy toys. The woman who works at the shop speaks English as she is from Australia. Want some other quick tips for helping your kids? Here's a blog we like from thelittleseed.com
