We are big boon fans here at Casa Crafty Garden Mama. Not only do we like the design aesthetic of this company, but we also like their efforts to be a green and safe company for kids. We first found boon products when we were doing Tomato’s baby registry at Buy Buy Baby (an incredible chain store that actually carries a large number of green products). The first product that caught my eye and said, “Please buy me. I am cute, modern and BPA, PVC and Phthalate free!” was the Grass drying rack.
It comes in two sizes, Grass and Lawn. I love the names and it works wonderfully. This has been where my pumping accessories and cups have been residing for the last 12 months. It also pops easily into the top rack of your dishwasher to be cleaned itself. It’s a great product that is both chic and functional in your kitchen.
The next great boon item that we have is an Odd Duck. Don’t you just love the names?! This odd duck is also BPA, PVC and phthalate free. So, while Tomato plays with it in the tub and puts it in her mouth, I am not worried about it.
Plus, he’s adorable and a little left of center. Perfect for us and our house. I love the bright colors and pictured below are the other unusual suspects in this line.
We also have their Scrubble squirter toys for the bath and the Trace bath appliques. Tomato loves playing with the squirters, but doesn’t yet have the dexterity to make them squirt. She also enjoys putting the appliques on the side of the tub and taking them off. It’s the best to watch her then try to put other toys on the tub surface and wonder why they don’t quite work like the appliques.
So, where do we keep all of these bath toys? I have spent too much time in the last year organizing to let them just sit around the bathtub area. Enter the Frog Pod.
He sits on our shower wall and not only holds everything, but you can take the carrier out to scoop and rinse all of the toys at once. When we put him up a few weeks ago, I thought that he officially heralded the presence of a child in our home.
The other area of our lives for which we have purchased boon products is for the pool. We are lucky to have a town pool, to which my sister belongs, and we have visited the baby pool a few times over the summer. For the pool, we have two great toys. We bought the Splat floating ring toss and the Water Bugs.
Tomato loves them both and chases them around. She is starting to realize what to do with them and other kids at the pool enjoy playing with them as well.
We looked at the boon feeding dishes and spoons and found that while stylish and safe, they were just a little too modern for us. Hence, the OXO purchases and review . Overall, we have found boon to be a great company with a fun aesthetic and a mind towards keeping kids safe and healthy. Their products are available at Buy Buy Baby, Babies R Us, Amazon and Target, among other online retailers and boutique shops like Nurture. Have fun shopping!
