The Hoppy & Poppie PinkCheeks books and toys are a line of educational products designed to set young children on a solid learning path toward high emotional intelligence (EI/EQ), which is exactly what children and parents need to thrive. The toys, books, and activities teach babies, toddlers and preschoolers skills in key areas including emotional and body self-awareness, emotion vocabulary, empathy, compassion and many more. The really good news is that this process for learning EQ fundamentals can begin as early as infancy and parents learn and benefit too! With the fun and engaging Hoppy & Poppie PinkCheeks books and toys, parents role model high emotional intelligence for their newborn or toddler during interactive play.
EarthBaby is the World’s First Compostable Diaper Service! Like all diaper services, EarthBaby delivers fresh new compostable diapers and wipes right to your doorstep. Soiled diapers are collected weekly, professionally composted, and turned into nutrient-rich topsoil in just 14 weeks. By using EarthBaby you can enjoy the convenience of disposable diapers without the negative environmental impact. We are committed to reducing the impact our children have on the environment by eliminating diapers and wipes from landfills. Did you know that the average baby will go through 5,500 diapers from age 0-3? Disposable diapers are the 3rd largest contributor to US landfill sites today. Unless compostable diapers and wipes are processed by a licensed commercial compost facility, they will still end up in landfills where even compostable materials cannot break down due to lack of oxygen, heat, and moisture. With your help, EarthBaby diverts more than 9 tons of diaper waste from Bay Area landfills every 3 days and converts it to reusable soil.
