Idbids

Scout, Lola, and Waverly are a cloud, flower and water drop, respectively, and they're the debut Idbids, plush toys made of organically grown cotton that come with storybooks printed on recycled paper, all wrapped in eco-friendly packaging. Their mission is to teach kids that "iddy biddy steps" like turning off the water while you brush your teeth and using both sides of the paper when you color can make the Earth a greener place. Environmentally aware kids can earn a "green certificate," accessible online.
