Given the amount of toxic teethers out there, we were ready for some eco options that also incorporate aesthetics. Finn+Emma’s teething rings are made from untreated sheesham wood and include achingly cute attached rattle toys. Currently, they offer a cat, a mouse, a dog, and a bear, all of which were hand-knitted from organic cotton and filled with 100% sheep’s wool. Finn+Emma work directly with a small group of fairly paid Peruvian women to create the rattle toys and are currently helping to set up a supply program to provide for the workers’ children as well. These teethers are adorable enough that they may end up doing double duty: as baby’s lovey and a smooth, buffed teething tool!
