If you read my
'Having a hoot' post, you will know that a few months ago Rio was chosen to be one of the AmBEARssadors for Minnies Macaroon. This company was founded in Yorkshire, and being from Yorkshire ourselves, I was not only delighted that Rio was chosen but delighted to be supporting/ promoting a local business too. Especially when I read that the fairtrade octopus toy that I had previously ordered for my other little boy Niall, was made by someone affected by the Tsunami. By buying these unique gifts you enable these women to have flexible, local and fairly paid work. And I don't know about you, but I personally think that that is amazing!
When we unpackaged Stegosaurus, Rio's exact words were "I love him".
A friendship was made and an adventure had begun!
Stegosaurus is knitted, machine washable and suitable from birth.
As you can see, although knitted, the toys and the whole range in fact are really quite durable! I did worry that because we're an outdoorsy family we'd have to be select as to where and when these products got used, but that really isn't the case at all. And because they are suitable from birth I don't have to worry about Niall getting hold of them either.
"Goodnight Rio, Goodnight Stegosaurus"
