**Giveaway from This Whole Family sponsor Dragonfly Toys**

Dragonfly Toys offers beautiful toys that inspire creative, open ended, imaginative play. Dragonfly Toys is the love and effort of Linda and Tracie who have six children between them. They believe children are often bombarded with ‘toys’ that overwhelm the senses and stunt creativity. It is their aim to provide toys that are beautiful and enchanting, strong and safe, environmentally friendly and fairly traded


Tracie and Linda have also founded the Kokonor brand- which produces gorgeous pieces in a small tailoring workshop in India. The workshop is ethically run and employs Tibetan refugees living in the Indian Himalaya. Not only does Kokonor make beautiful items for Dragonfly, but it also acts as an ethical production unit for other independent labels who are attracted to the service by a shared loyalty to fair-trade principles, unstinting commitment to quality, and low minimum orders. I have been personally admiring the Kokonor Patchwork Quilt for ages. The Koko Button and Baby booties are perfect gifts for baby showers and new Mamas. 

Dragonfly Toys commitment to ethically made products can also be seen in their support of the adorable brand, Papoose. Papoose create gorgeous toys from 100% pure wool felt. Each toy is designed in Australia and handmade in Nepal using fair labour and fair trade.


Today Dragonfly Toys is generously offering a lucky winner a Papoose Sandwich as well as the choice between the Felt Bento Box, Fish and Chips, Lamb Dinner or Breakfast Set.
**They are also kindly offering ALL 'THIS WHOLE FAMILY' READERS 15% off of ALL Papoose products for one week including felt food, felt craft kits and animals**! 

To enter simply leave a comment below. For an additional entry 'like' Dragonfly Toys on Facebook to get up to date information about new products and to view insightful and inspiring links handpicked by the staff from Dragonfly Toys. ** Please leave a separate comment for each entry **

Entries close Saturday morning, March 10th and winners drawn that day.


AND THE WINNER IS #15 Trish.  Please email meagan@thiswholefamily.com to claim your lovely felt toys!!
