Halloween is a great time to introduce children to crafts. As we know, crafts teach them many things ... patience, dexterity, sharing, and the gift of time. Spending time with them is one of the most important gifts we can give our kids.

Wee-Organics have seen some great articles on crafts and more for Halloween in grandparents.com.

Have fun and stay safe.

What does ORGANIC really mean?

What does ORGANIC really mean?

The word "organic" is an adjective that "describes and relates to foods produced without the use of laboratory-made products." [Webster]

It was used originally to "relate to living things, natural." Farm products grown without chemicals and pesticides are known to be "organically grown."

Now, as we are a more concerned community, we want healthier more environmentally friendly organic toys for our children. WEE-ORGANICS products enhance the ecological balance of natural systems by only using natural non-toxic wood, stains and FDA approved oil for finishing. Our toys reduce the threat of allergic reactions and other serious conditions sometimes attributed to petroleum based plastic products.

Wee-Organics, no toxic chemicals, no carcinogenic pesticides ... just NATURAL!

grandparents-growing old together

        Are you tooooo busy with grandkids these days. i have just spoken to Don, my good friend from high school, "Eddie, we are so busy with the grandkids schedule we have no time to see our friends". Years ago when Sharen and i were growing our family , we lost touch with our old friends. As the kids grew more independent we rekindled our friendships. Now we find ourselves in the same positon: scheduling our lives around grandkids activities. NO, we dont regret or resent it, we are having a blast...but we find that we have to sometimes say "NO, cant do it , we need time for ourselves" I feel it is ok to say "no" once in a while. If we dont then we might begin to lose our own lives "growing old together" .         grammie and grampy            are still            Sharen and Ed

your opinion please--natural or painted

wee-organics uses the finest natural oil to finish all our products.This finish is hand rubbed and it exceeds government safety standards. It creates a beautiful wood finish and has an heirloom appearance. Some of you have been asking for more "painted" products and we would like to know your opinion. Our paints, or stains as they are called, are water based non-toxic and again exceed regulations.
So, what do you think? Should we continue adding the wood finish products or should we add some "stained" products?
thanks so much for your input. WEE just want to be the best for you.

wood toys we painted while it rained

Oh, it rained in the Berkshires the last few days and we had three kids,, 15 months,Spencer, Colton, 5, and Mae 7. So what do grammie and grampy do with this group. Well, we started at 6;30 am with breakfast and some cartoons. We had a slight break in the weather, so we got out for a walk to the beautiful waterfall close to our room. Spenc wanted to walk so thankfully that took more time. The two older ones were so attentive to him , it really was cute.
We went inside when it rained and got out some WEE-ORGANIC toys. They painted them--they decorated them with sequins and glue. We recommend to grandparents:never go anywhere with the kids without and bundle of tricks if it rains!!
