It’s never too early to start being concerned about the environment. Whether it is on a global scale or on a smaller neighborhood scale, every little bit helps. In the trendy neighborhood of Lincoln Square, there’s a quant, little children’s boutique helping parents make better decisions for themselves, their families and the planet. As individuals turn to “greener” alternatives and eco-friendly choices, the Little Green Baby is providing a wonderful array of children’s clothes and toys that not only look terrific but also make you feel like you are making a difference in the world.

The Little Green Baby is located steps away from the Rockwell stop on the Brown Line in Lincoln Square. This unique, store is perfect for purchasing eco-friendly baby gifts, showering your child with the latest organic clothing, or just a great alternative to the mega-chain stores. My favorite item is children’s t-shirts with “Lincoln Square” proudly display across the front in cute letters. It is made from 100 percent organic cotton and uses low impact environmentally friendly dyes. What’s not to love about giving your child a cool and hip wardrobe while making an environmental statement at the same time?

When going to Little Green Baby, bring the children along. One corner of the store is dedicated to keeping kids entertained. There is a small table and chairs with books, toys and a dry erase board. Feel free to browse while you can keep an eye on what the kids are doing. Not only do they have clothes, shoes and wooden toys to purchase but they also have strollers, jewelry, eco-friendly cleaning products and a little bit of everything to adorn your children. Wednesday mornings during the school year is a dedicated a story time session where children and parents can gather for a book or two.
Buying eco-friendly baby clothes and toys may not exactly stop the ozone layer from expanding but it will give you a sense that you are doing your part to make a greener change for everyone’s future. Every little bit helps when it comes to the environment. The Little Green Baby is making a difference locally and providing some wonderful children’s products in the process. The Little Green Baby is located on 4654 North Rockwell. For more information and store hours, log onto www.littlegrenbabychicago.com or call (773)505-2066.
