Why make sustainable gifts for children make sense
With many purchase decisions, we already take the factor of sustainability into account out of habit. Decisions that we make for our children should therefore be a priority.
Children's gifts as a mediation
The attitude formed in childhood shapes the behavior of children towards themselves and their co-environment for a lifetime. This process usually takes place implicitly and continuously through experiencing and reflecting everyday experiences. Above all, the values of the parents color on the performance of their children. This is done directly through behavior, but also indirectly about temporal and spatial designs. Playing materials are therefore not only used for playing, but also as a mediator between the adult and the child. When buying toys, pay attention to certain values, such as responsibility or sustainability, convey them to their children via the toy. Since children spend a large part of their childhood with games, they are particularly suitable for such values.Gifts in abundance
When choosing gifts, we often follow the interest and wishes of our children. But many of these wishes are constantly created by new trends and advertising. Children are given the feeling that they have to have more and more new things. This often creates an abundance of gifts and toys that are not used properly and will soon lose interest again. A valuable tip for parents can therefore be: Less high -quality, long -lasting and meaningful gifts bring a pleasant added value for the whole family.
How does sustainable gift work?
Beyond the choice of the actual gift, there are simple ways to make the gift of children more sustainable.Give together
Since the entire extended family often wants to make the children a pleasure, it makes sense to discuss and close together. Together, the investment can be divided into a high -quality and durable gift.Continue instead of throwing away
Used or no longer age -appropriate is just as suitable as a gift as new. A gift does not have to be unused to give joy! The demand from families or friends for such opportunities is worthwhile.Use instead of owning
You don't have to own everything yourself to be able to use it. We are enthusiastic about the new idea of renting high -quality game material. At this point we want to draw your attention to Nomadi. A company that campaigns for this: rent and then consciously choose a purchase. By the way, you can also get products from Stapelstein® rent and test. Curious? Here You can find details.Extensive gifts
There are many occasions for giving - through Christmas, Easter, birthday and many other festivities can quickly arise. There are therefore optimal gifts that have potential for expansion and offer more opportunities for use with every new occasion.Use shipping box for tinkering
Ordering gifts on the Internet is more convenient for many of us than going to full shops. But oversized shipping boxes and other materials are often incurred. It is a shame to throw this away because they can be used for numerous ideas. For example, our Stapelstein® Cardboard is converted into a small house or used for coloring and tinkering. Here, too, it means: to be a little creative and just get started!Make gifts yourself
Being creative and making gifts yourself not only gives the recipient joy, but also the one who gives. There are numerous options for great and creative ideas on the Internet that are easy. The trend "from old make new" gives some objects a second chance - according to the motto: "Diy - do it yourself".
