Spread the Fun with Natural Cotton Toys

Give Your Little One Something to Smile About with Cuddly Cotton

When it comes to caring for your child, you choose only the best in natural cotton for them–from their clothes and undies to bed linens and plush bath towels. So, shouldn’t their toys be cotton as well? Cotton is such a versatile fabric that it is the natural choice in providing a safe and enjoyable playtime for your child. Here’s why…

Why choose natural cotton toys for your child?

Natural cotton toys are durable and easy-care, which makes them the natural choice for your child to play with at any age. Plus, cotton toys are fun, soft and safe! Here are some practical reasons why cotton toys are the natural choice for the little ones in your life:

  • • They’re durable. Unlike most toys on the market, natural cotton toys will always bend, but never
           break! They might even save you a few bucks in the long-run.
  • • Cotton toys are easy-care. Most cotton toys can be cleaned by simply popping your child’s toy
          into the washer. In addition, any rips and tears can be mended with a needle and thread.
  • • No hard surfaces or sharp edges. Natural cotton toys are as safe as they get! How about that for
          peace-of-mind?
  • • Above all, they’re cute and cuddly! Nothing beats a soft and squeezable cotton toy for your child
          who is even more adorable than his plush cotton friend.

    • Selecting the perfect cotton toys

    For younger children, start them out with small, manageable cotton toys-rattles are perfect. Any cotton toy that is very plush and snuggly will make your child happy, especially those from the animal kingdom (which is likely to become an instant favorite). A sure hit with babies and older children are balls. The best are usually those that make a funny sound and are colorful. Balls are also perfect for worry-free, playtime tossing.

    Caring for your child’s cotton toys

    Just as important as your child enjoying their cotton toys is their proper care. Many children have a favorite cotton toy that they carry with them everywhere. It is important to properly maintain these special objects for your child.

    First, check the manufacturer's label to ensure that the cotton toy is machine washable. If so, sew up any rips and tears, and then place inside a pillowcase. Tie closed. Place two bundles at a time in the washing machine or add some cotton towels. Having one on each side will keep the machine balanced. Agitate for 1-2 minutes on a gentle cycle. Rinse well. Tumble dry, fluffing periodically to prevent lumps from forming.
