100 Mile Child

100 Mile Child is a children's boutique on the Danforth that has been inspired by the 100 Mile Diet and shopping locally.

Shopping locally ensures that you support local small businesses and entrepreneurs as well as decreasing your environmental footprint.

Many of the items have the added benefit of being made from organic fabrics or recycled materials.

One of the first things I noticed when I was walking through the store was how many small Toronto brands were carried here.

 Lines like Cate & Levi, Babibu organic sleepers and dresses from Tiny Modernist; all brands made in Toronto.

I was particularly excited to see that Cate & Levi has branched out from their fantastic stuffed animals.

They are now making organic onies, wall decor and all sorts of great accessories for kids.

All items still use recycled sweaters in some way.

In addition to clothing there were Piggy Paints, non toxic, odorless and environmentally friendly nail polishes in wacky colours. 

There were also gorgeously made dress up costumes and books signed by authors from Toronto and Kitchener.

This is definitely a spot to keep in mind when shopping for birthdays or shower gifts, as many of these items are not readily available elsewhere in the city.

I guess what impressed me most about the shop was how many amazing children's brands can be found within 100 Miles of Toronto.

Its not just that many of these brands are socially responsible and educational, but that they are unique and fun for kids.
