Inca Kids, a project member of the Fair Trade Federation is carries many wonderful fair trade colorful toys that are both unique and didactic. If you want a break from the plastic orheavily marketed "characters" and would like to support skilled Peruvian artists, consider these products. I love their idea of hosting a Fair Trade Party too – all it takes is a minimum order of $100 of products. The finger puppets are 100% hand knitted in yarn by a group of Peruvian artisans receiving a fair wage and parents don’t need to worry about tiny plastic eyes or toxic materials. There are more than 30 characters available to choose from; from flowers to firefighters and from llamas to hummingbirds. An assortment of 10 puppets is only $20. For more information, click here. Price: $20
Look for a Inca Natural Fair Trade Toys & Finger Puppets on eBay - maybe you'll get lucky and find a great bargain!
