Carrying on with our green month, we wanted to introduce you to Idbids Eco-Friendly Toys!
About Idbids
Scout, Lola and Waverly
The delightful Idbids teach children ages 3 and up that it can be heaps of fun when you’re keen on being green. They do it through a wonderful storybook journey of discovery. By taking iddy biddy steps along with his or her Idbid of choice, the child learns about the Earth and what he or she can do to make a difference. (For example, if you turn off the water while brushing your teeth all week, you’ll save more than a bath tub full of water.)
After reading the book (for the first of many times), there is a Field Guide and simple check list to help children continue to take their own iddy biddy steps every day. Once the Field Guide is complete, the child – with the help of a grown-up – can come to this site to
tell Scout. As a reward, Scout will create a personalized Idbids Certificate of Completion that you can print to celebrate the iddy biddy steps the child took to help keep our Earth happy, healthy
and green.

The Idbids’ motto is “iddy biddy steps make a biggie big difference in keeping our Earth happy, healthy and green.” Idbids strives to make its products using organic, recycled and eco-friendly materials.
We love the idea behind the toys and the positive, healthy message it brings our children. Facing tommorows future, we want our kids to understand early on that what they do reflects on everyones future, espiecally their own. And as parents, it can remind US that our children are more imporant to us then the convienence of a lot of technologies and how we also need to preserve where we can.

Waverly the Water Drop is so cute! were really into the green thing we cloth diaper (thats a huge waste all those disposables) I use reusable shopping bags, re-use everything that I can safley! theres so much more
Lola the Flower Idbid Please. My daughter loves her.
Our family has really started to do our part. We recycle and then we also seperate our trash and burn the none toxic items. Which has cut our garbage output way down. About 80% of our trash is paper items. Think how much less goes into the landfills!
we would love the Lola the Flower Idbid pack!
we are starting to recycle more items and we are replacing all of our lightbulbs with CFL bulbs!
I really like Waverly. We definitley try to conserve water in our home by turning it off when brushing teeth, using less bath water, shorter showers, etc.
I would love the Waverly the Water Drop Idbid. We recycle, we use compact fluorescents, we garden and grow our own organic veggies, herbs and fruit, we use water saving shower heads, we carpool, and I am trying to make more meals at home instead of eating out.
We would like Lola the flower…my daughter would think she is cute. We use reusable bags whenever possible. We try and conserve electricity and water too. And we even get our 2-year-old to help out with recycling (she helps me carry the bags of plastic bottles, etc, to the recycling bins outside our home). And we donate items as much as possible.
I’d love to win Lola the Flower for Paige.
We’ve stopped using plastic grocery sacks, we buy green products, recycle, but I’ll admit. I hate the energy efficient light bulbs. The hubs replaces the old ones as they burn out…I don’t know if I will ever like them…but I’m trying…really trying.
i like waverly the water drop. we recycle everything! and try to watch electricity usage.
I would really like to win Waverly for my nephew. So I blogged here: http://contests4mommies.blogspot.com/2008/09/run-to-momdot-idbid-contests.html
I like the rain drop since we need rain so bad her in California. We have worked really hard to do as much as we can preserve our environment. We even started compost on our balcony in our small condo. My goal is to have children that grow up with these behaviors and thinking nothing of it. It won’t be “going green” to them it will just be the way they live.
The water drop is cute. We’ve started recycling our newspapers and plastics with our garbage each week. Now that we live on post, almost everything we need is within walking distance so we’ve been walking a lot more. It helps that parking is like a college campus and it’s just easier to get places when we walk because our house is pretty centrally located to what we need.
Is it considered conservation if I forget to shower for 2 days because I’m blogging?
I like Waverly the Water Drop Idbid.
We are slowly changing to a green home. I have been buying eco friendly cleaning products.
We recycle whatever we can and are in the process of not using plastic.

like lola- heck they are all cute but I guess the wateerdrop becuase we only use water when needed, shut off, short showers, etc
I think my kids would love Waverly the Water Drop.
Currently we have water saving showerheads, with filters to filter out the ‘gunk’ in our water. We reuse, recycle plastic containers we have (like butter), and use reusable packaging for their lunches (like the sandwich keepers and snack cups from Tupperware, along with reusable bottles for their drinks). We use cloth napkins instead of paper, we use CFL bulbs instead of regular. Gosh I could go on and on lol it’d be a novel
I think my kiddos would enjoy Waverly the Water Drop.
My DD has us on a strict 4 minute shower routine. *lol*
I like the Lola one.
We do our best to buy organically, leave our doors and windows open. And we drive a hybrid car!
I like Lola!
We grow our own veggies, and conserve water by taking timed showers!
I like Lola! We recycle at home.
I like Lola. Currently I’m working on reducing the waste in my daughter’s lunchbox. Less baggies & packaging.
