Eco-Friendly Dolls Teach Children about the Environment
I discovered that these cloth dolls were Planet Pixies. The more I read about the Planet Pixies, the way they were constructed and their messages to help kids learn how to save the planet, the more convinced I was that we would end up adopting a trio of Pixies for our house.
Read on to discover more about these environmentally-friendly, organic dolls and eco-friendly toys that may help you raise more eco-conscious children.

Adopt a Pixie
All over the planet, Pixies are losing their homes due to pollution, deforestation, and global warming. Now these Pixies need good homes and friends that will care for them and for the environment.
Together you and your Pixie can learn about the environment and what you can do to protect it to ensure no more Pixies lose their homes!

* Recyle - When you recycle products like paper, (after we can no longer use and reuse them!) we prevent new trees from being cut down you are helping save the rainforests and other tree pixies like Maya!
