Wooden children’s toys are made with wood from sustainably managed forests, and coloured with water-based pigment, meeting the European Toy Safety Standard EN71. 

Almost all of the textiles nest offers for sale are ecological cotton, organic wool, and silk free from chemical processing.  This means that a high regard for ecology has been maintained through every stage of manufacturing - for example, in the case of the wool, this regard is evident from the land the sheep graze on and livestock management, to the dying and processing of the wool itself. 

nest participates in carbon offsetting to reduce the impact of shipping through www.summerhillgroup.ca.  You will also find many locally manufactured items in our shop, from right here in Ottawa to our nearest neighbours in New England and Quebec.

We offer customers bamboo paper bags, plus wrapping and tissue paper with high post-consumer waste recycled content.
