Forget The Fidget Spinners, Give Me Safe Toys!

I received a sample of this item from the company to facilitate a review. I was not paid for this article and all opinions are 100% my own.

If you have children of, well almost any age, you know what a fidget spinner is, right?
When my kindergartner came home a few weeks before school let out for summer, and said, "MOM, I really want a fidget spinner" I began to do some light research.

Often, I entertain these whims, as long as it doesn't cost a fortune.  However, in this case, I really didn't see any benefit for my daughter in using this toy, so I held out. 

I'm so glad we did, because now I'm reading more about how some of the cheaper versions of fidget spinners are being made with toxic materials and unsafe paint for children

It makes me thankful for companies like Pebble, that make ethically and environmentally safe toys, like this Rainbow Bunny Rattle (pictured below).  Their toys are made from 100% cotton (+polyester fill) so you don't have to worry about your child's safety if they happen to munch on it. They are totally safe, and can be thrown in the washing machine afterward!






Here's my little peanut at naptime, cozying up to her new Pebble Rainbow Bunny Rattle, which I kind of want to steal borrow from her. The texture of the crochet feels so nice for kids who need some sensory exploration.  

One touch, and you can tell it was made from very talented artisan craftworkers

Pebble toys are guaranteed fair trade and made in Bangladesh, and their production centers provide 100 jobs per community, not to mention offer preschool and daycare for the moms who work there. 

So, instead of paying for silly toys like fidget spinners that are potentially made with toxic paints that could harm your child, grandchild, niece or nephew - check out Pebble and help provide a family in rural Bangladesh a future. 

You can find Pebble products at over 800 retailers, including:

  3. Nowadays every person is using a smartphone and definitely they will have the world’s most popular chatting app WhatsApp. Besides WhatsApp, there is an enhanced version of this app called WhatsApp plus. Which allows more features than WhatsApp. Before the time, people used to chat by sending SMS messages and that was a classical way.

  4. Unlike other multi-messaging apps like Trillian or Beejive, you can only choose one account for sending messages. This is because tm WhatsApp uses your Google Voice number as a unique identifier between all of the services. It’s also still listed as an experimental app, so there could be bugs or other problems with it.

  5. Many of the leading brands such as Traeger, Camp Chef and Pit Boss along with other smaller brands. Now, to determine the best pellet grill under $500 I’ve been researching models that get as close to that price point as possible. Hence, all of the models below are between $400 and $500.
