The award winning game and book, I Cherish Planet Earth by Focus Bloom, makes a perfect gift this holiday season. Both the book and the game are useful tools to communicate to your child of the importance of taking care of our fragile environment. The matching card game helps sharpen memory while stimulating the visual senses with beautiful rich artwork shown on each of the 100% recycled paper board cards. Any opportunity for my 5 year old to defeat his mother with his super power memory strength is a good thing. When we can squeeze in some learning while he’s doing that, then it’s a fabulous thing!

Our four year old has got recycling down pat along with turning the water off while brushing his teeth but I don’t think he really got the gist of why we do all this until reading one of the Earthwise books. The Earthwise Kids books and t-shirts are a great way to introduce children to the importance of eco-friendly living. Beautifully illustrated books with fun stories printed on recycled paper and soy based inks provide practical tips to help protect our fragile planet.  Matching unbleached organic cotton t-shirts are a regular reminder to respect this beautiful world that we all share. No need for wrapping as gift sets come already wrapped in a reusable/biodegradable jute bag.
