Simply by playing together, parents can help babies work toward reaching important first year milestones like holding their heads up, reaching for objects, and rolling over. Babies' first toys should be beautiful, soft, and most of all safe.

Sckoon is a fantastic company that sells products made with 100% organic cotton that are manufactured under 100% fair trade conditions. I am in love with their Happy Lion toy. Not only is it adorable and safe for baby, it is also easy to care for. Just throw it in the washing machine, and it actually gets softer with each wash! Sounds like a fair deal for moms, too.

You can find the Happy Lion and other Sckoon toys for babies on Amazon.com. - Sara I.
