It’s what Enfant Terrible are all about – helping the eco-minded parent find the good amongst all the bad when it comes to children’s products.  A great sentiment we should all keep in mind, but I somehow don’t see my little man giving up his new plastic electric guitar, no matter how much of a carbon footprint was left behind in its manufacture!

However, I do think he would like the Knitted Globe – beautifully handcrafted by a Bolivian woman’s cooperative, it is not only a great educational tool to interest your child in geography – it has all the continents labelled and more besides – it also doubles as a great soft ball to throw around indoors.  Approx. 30cm from Pole to Pole, you may decide just to use it for decoration in your child’s nursery and bring down for special occasions – such as pointing out places you are planning to travel to – you’re never too young to join the jet set.  Uh oh.. then you have all those environmental issues with travel.. A 21^st Centure conundrum your child will have to deal with later in life, for now, it’s a fun, unique and imaginative toy.

Knitted Globe sells for CAD $134 direct from Enfant Terrible’s Canadian website.  While there, also check out the stunning maple elephant designed by Kay Bojeson for Rosendahl.  Retailing for CAD $275, it will be destined to become a beautiful family heirloom with its patina only improving over the years in the hands of a child.
