eco-kids started as a family run business that produces all natural art supplies. It began simply, as all good things do, with the molding dough recipe Cammie's mom made for her as a child. After incorporating natural ingredients into the recipe, the dough was transformed into eco-dough, rich in color, soft in texture, with a delicate aroma like no other. In 2008 Cammie and Kip began selling it at farmers markets. From there, Eco-kids evolved. This woman owned business lives by the mantra — creative play the natural way. Products are developed with this belief in mind. From using non-toxic, natural ingredients to the unique packaging, Eco-kids works with environmentally friendly companies from around the United States to bring you fresh ideas in the world of art supplies. The kids test and ensure the art supplies are fun to play with — after all, that's what it's all about.

Shupaca products are crafted by a variety of artisan groups within the indigenous communities of the Andes Mountain region of South America. We are committed to supporting the social and economic advancement of the artisans & their families in these small communities through fair wages and direct incentives. Shupaca offers high-quality designs and unique products that you are guaranteed to fall in love with! We are a family-owned, dedicated brand with a focus on making a difference! ECO-FRIENDLY & SUSTAINABLE We specialize in Alpaca fiber! Alpaca is quickly becoming one of the world’s most renowned sustainable & eco-friendly fibers. The alpacas are sheared once a year in spring and the fiber is spun into yarn. Superior to wool, alpaca fiber is extremely soft, light-weight, and amazingly warm with its' naturally insulating core. It does not contain lanolin, making it hypoallergenic- the perfect combination for cold weather accessories!

How To Care For Your Alpaca:

Giving proper care to your alpaca means getting to enjoy their luxurious softness and warmth for decades. 

• Alpaca isn’t a high maintenance fiber. It does not pill and is water-resistant. More importantly, it has the ability to self-clean naturally. Its hollow fibers resist the absorption of dirt or odors. This means they do not need to be washed often! Simply air them outdoors after use. 
• It is better to hand wash alpaca to help preserve their shape and construction. Always use a gentle, non-abrasive soap such as mild detergent or baby shampoo. 
• Do not use hot water or even varying degrees of water temperature since this will shock the fibers, causing them to mat together or weaken. No need for fabric softeners as well.
• After washing, place the item on a flat surface or on a dry towel (to help absorb extra moisture). Do not hang to dry, and let it air dry away from sunlight or other heat sources like radiators. Do not use dryers which can cause the throw to shrink

You may use a washing machine, but it is recommended to only use those with adjustable settings. The setting you need is one that is designed for washing delicate wool items. This type of washing actually mimics gentle hand washing.  Use these tips when using this setting:

• Select cold temperature
• Only use a spin speed that is low or slow (alpaca can’t be spun, wrung, or heated)
• Use a mild soap to help preserve the fiber’s color, texture, and durability.
• Do not use the dryer. Simply lay it flat to dry.
• To store your alpaca, keep in cool and dry places away from damp conditions. You may seal them in breathable pillowcases, paper bags, or shirt boxes. This will allow air to keep circulating through the items while keeping them away from insects and moisture. 

Our handmade, one-of-a-kind, alpaca stuffies are probably the softest thing you will ever experience! Made from natural alpaca fiber, they come in a variety of natural colors.

I began sewing when I was younger and in 4-H. When I decided to stay home with my kids and leave my Special Education teaching position, I wanted something for some “me” time. That quickly turned into a small business sewing items for locals and then eventually on Etsy. I love creating small batch items for my customers. I strive to create items that are unique and become something special to those who receive them. I am a one woman shop. I pick out the fabrics, cut fabric, sew, take photos, ship, create content and more!
