Vegetable Rattles, Set of Five

Ever wonder what that intriguing mystery mush is that the adults insist on shoveling into your mouth? You wouldn’t know it by looking at it but that puree started out as a lovely bag of produce, not unlike our hand knit carrots, eggplants, red peppers, heads of cauliflower and ears of corn. We’ve harvested a set of five vegetables for you, each with a gentle rattle hidden inside, and packaged them in a hand embroidered, drawstring bag.

Hillary Sciarillo started the Yellow Label Kids collection after leaving a corporate job in New York City for San Francisco, to become a full-time mother and part-time teacher. Inspired by her son and many students she began to look for an alternative to mass-produced, commercial toys and clothing. She was fortunate to connect with a collective of women artisans in Bangladesh, mostly mothers themselves, who earn real living wages from the handcrafts they produce which include our Vegetable Rattle Set.

This collective is overseen by a non-profit Fair Trade organization whose primary goal is to support health and education programs for these women and their families. In addition to facilitating the means for these artisans to earn a sustainable living they also provide literacy training, free healthcare, childbirth education, and for many the opportunity to work from home. Yellow Label Kids is a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation.
