Why Natural Matters

At Three Little Leaves, we believe children deserve products that are safe, durable and kind to the planet.  That's why we carefully select materials like food-grade silicone, stainless steel, wood, bamboo, and organic cotton.  These natural, non-toxic materials avoid harmful chemicals, which can disrupt hormones and pose long-term health risks, especially for growing children.
