Outdoor living is always a part of our lives in the South. Whether we are watching our nieces and nephews or children play outside or cleaning up in our garden, we are enjoying nature and the kids’ enjoyment of being outdoors. However, when we are outdoors watching our little ones enjoy the sun, does it ever question our minds on the items kids are playing with?
For instance, in our household, we are aware of black-owned products that we used. From our favorite black-owned soap to our charming handmade jewelry items, we often make it a priority to shop black-owned and why should it stop on the toys for our kids. There are plenty of black-owned business that specializes in coloring books, novels, and dolls, and are also a few that specializes in outdoor toys that kids will enjoy this Spring or Summer.
