Under the Nile Organic Cotton Watermelon

Educational organic cotton watermelon baby toy

A fun, organic watermelon toy with green organic cotton jersey for the skin, a white strip for the inside layer of the skin and red organic cotton jersey for the fruits centre. Formed in a segment shape and reminiscent of warm summer days! Sewn on eyes and a smiling mouth adorn both sides of the slice!

Made with organic cotton for the outer fabric and filled generously with organic cotton for the filling too, this toy represents fantastic value for such great organic and ethical credentials!

As an easy to hold natural teething toy for babies to cuddle and chew, this is a fun way to encourage and promote healthy eating from a young age.

This slice of organic watermelon makes a fun and educational toy for babies but can still be enjoyed by older children as play food.

Machine washable on low temperature and gentle wash.

Under the Nile's statement on ethical working conditions for the workers who make their toys:

"We are proud to be part of a project contributing to the development of independent and self sustained communities.

The "13 Villages Project" is a campaign co-conducted by Under the Nile and its farm in Egypt (Sekem). It takes place in 13 rural villages in Sharkeya, Egypt. Through vocational training and infrastructural development, the project is improving the health, skills and overall well being of the village inhabitants. We provide excellent health care as well as education on dental and over all physical health. We begin by educating the villagers on how to make their fruit and vegetable toys. Each village receives an advance for their work and the materials needed to produce that toy. Upon completion, we pick up the finished goods and pay them fair wages for their work.

We are very excited to see the end result. Happy, educated, and healthy human beings."
