Sure we all want to see a cleaner planet, better the environment and make green choices, but most of us just aren’t sure how we can make a difference. Could I really change the planet by changing my choices? Will anything I do really help?
Well, here’s something to think about ‘If every American gave up just one paper napkin a day, we could save a billion pounds of paper waste from going to landfills each year’ ~ Elizabeth Rogers, the Green Book
hmmm…so maybe one person can make a difference, and if we all pitched in we could make a huge difference!
Joyce and Paige are two moms who were both committed to packing “waste-free” lunches for their school-age children but had trouble finding cute cloth napkins that weren’t too formal or too big. Ultimately, they decided to create their own, and Fabkins was born.
Fabkins are 100% organic cotton napkins for kids that come in a variety of colours and fun designs. I knew right away that my little monkeys would adore the African Safari theme! We were sent a two pack (yes, I know, can you hear the fight starting?? 3 kids, 2 fun napkins….) of the jungle related characters, the Monkey and the Giraffe. The embroidered animals came on a bright yellow cloth that was the perfect size for them -13″ square. We included the fabulous Fabkins at our family Easter dinner and the boys actually preferred to use them as placemats, which worked perfectly fine for that use as well. They seemed quite proud to have a fancy spot at the table, like the adults.
Caring for the Fabkins is super easy, just toss them right into the wash and tumble dry low. The tag also has a spot for writing your child’s name. So it is easy to slip these into your child’s lunch for school without them getting lost.
For a special occasion like our Easter or a birthday party, these make a real hit and kids feel really special using them, but go ahead and use them for everyday use too. You can save on paper towels and help protect the environment in the process- Plus you will be doing it in style!
