Crochet Onion
https://luisfernandocastro.com/lbqrwglmu9d This is the last video in my crochet salad play food series, the crochet onion. This just might be the easiest part of the whole salad! Check out the crochet lettuce, and the crochet cherry tomato if you missed them. If you keep scrolling down there is a video and a free crochet pattern for the play food onion.

https://boxfanexpo.com/p3msxdb9 “Think about it. Plastic toys often contain PVC (Polyvinyl chloride), Phthalates , BPA (Bisphenol A ) which is an endocrine disruptor that can mimic the body’s own hormones has been known to leach. Many synthetic and even some organic cotton based soft toys are filled with petroleum based polyfill which children sleep with and often suck on when teething” Melinda- Ecotoys.com
https://marcosgerente.com.br/e3qym4m Our home isn’t plastic free by any means, but we are trying to be really careful about everything we buy from this point on. One of the easiest places to start is with younger children. They haven’t watched enough TV to know that they want a Barbie Doll, or a Power Ranger action figure. They can grow up thinking your toys are “normal” and cool.
https://www.thoughtleaderlife.com/tkgf09f The more we try to keep plastic out of our lives, the more simple our lives become. Birthdays don’t have to revolve around buying a big pile of plastic toys. Choose to buy or make toys that will last and encourage your child’s imagination. We still have legos (because my kids LOVE to build things) but we also have Lincoln logs, and building blocks.

go to site I hate to burst your bubble… acrylic yarn is as much a product of petroleum as the polyester fiber in polyfill. (although either might be better than hard plastics)
https://www.thoughtleaderlife.com/ow6v34bl I have a wide assortment of yarns (most of which I’ve inherited for free) and I try not to spend money when I don’t need to 🙂 As for the plastic content I don’t disagree that there’s some of that in there but I’d still rather have my baby chewing on that than a plastic lead paint toy as I watch the hands and feet of the action figures disappear over time 🙂 You make a good point though and it might be worth it for people to spend the extra money on cotton wool or bamboo yarn if they want to make absolutely certain it’s plastic free.
