If you tend towards natural toys for your kids, you’ll want to consider Mama K’s Aromatic Play Clay, now carried by our sponsors at Bella Luna Toys. This natural play clay is made from gluten-free flour, Kosher salt, and extra virgin olive oil. The colors are vivid and beautiful, the consistency soft and elastic for young hands.
But the big surprise of Mama K’s is the fragrance. Each color is naturally scented with an essential oil, and each oil is selected based on the premise of aromatherapy, promoting such things as soothing, uplifting, easing anxiety, etc.
Originally created for use with autistic children who benefit from the calming and tactile activity and wonderful scents, the Play Clay is ideal for children ages 3 and up. I personally found it rather therapeutic and relaxing after a day of manic typing, and I think we can all recall countless hours of play with such doubt, crafting animals and figurines, smashing, creating, imagining. Indeed a staple of childhood play, Mama K’s sold at Bella Luna Toys offers the natural alternative with a fragrantly therapeutic twist.
Want to win your own? Bella Luna Toys is giving away one Mama K’s Aromatic Play Clay set ($23.95 retail) to a dkM reader!

The thing I learn every time I visit Bella Luna Toys is that its owner, Sarah Baldwin, is as real, natural, beautiful and nourishing for children (and parents!) as all the marvelous things she sells there. This is pure joy to all her know her and who visit her website.

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.
I learned about Waldorf education principles in which these toys are based – being based on real life activities and in a home-like setting. Sounds like a great educational philosophy!!
I learned that Bella Luna has a big collection of silk toys and dress-up clothes.
On the website I found out that they offer Flat Rate Shipping of
Just $5.95 in the US. Thanks for the great giveaway:)
I learned that Sarah Baldwin, founder of the site, worked as an actress for 10 years in NYC before realizing children were her life.
Princess
“An exciting fantasy game giving thoughtful and imaginative play experience. Our Princess is a sturdy little girl in the castle who needs to be rescued from a mean guard and fierce dog. It’s not going to be easy — and besides, darkness is coming!
Off we go through fields, woods, mountains and villages in search of things magical and practical needed to free the Princess. We’ll do some sharing, help each other to remember where special things are hidden, and together think our way past the obstacles.”
This would be my pick…how refreshing to see a princess game that doesn’t involve tiaras and jewelry.
