Choosing clothes for kids should be done with thoughtful consideration. As a parent who wants to inculcate respect for Mother Earth in your kids, you should lead by example and patronize products that are not only earth friendly but also protects the health of your children. While some parents go for fashionable and branded clothing for kids, there are actually eco-friendly clothing for kids that are both stylish and are made with organic materials.
Clothing made from pure organic cotton, soft sustainable bamboo or a combination of both these materials is a wonderful choice for your fashion conscious kids. These fibers are grown and harvested without using any genetic modification, chemical pesticides and fertilizers. You can be sure that your kids clothing are pure products and is safe from residual chemicals that are usually left on fibers. Conventional methods of farming use toxic chemicals which cause skin allergies and irritations in kids. It also harms the environment as these chemicals contaminate the soil and the ground water underneath. Aside from cotton, bamboo also produces biodegradable fibers for kid-friendly clothing. Growing bamboo for clothing is earth friendly because it quickly regenerates itself and helps prevent soil erosion.
Organic cotton is also a very comfortable material used for kid’s clothing. It is soft and breathable thus perfect for active kids to wear for those hot sunny days. Similar with bamboo, it is also durable and easy to care for. Organic clothing for kids are best for kids who have sensitive skin and have allergies. Bamboo clothing is considered hypoallergenic and it has anti-bacterial properties that keeps it clean smelling for long. It is also great for warm weather with its moisture wicking abilities and for cold weather as it provides warmth when used as base layer.
There is no better way of protecting your children’s health and help them develop concern for nature than by patronizing eco-friendly products and clothing that they will use. Organic clothing can be stylish yet comfortably wearable. These clothing usually have fun designs and colors which are nature-inspired. They encourage your kids to think more about the environment and make them responsible in protecting resources, energy conservation and make them more connected with nature.
