Quality assurance is paramount for Raspberry Kids and we are very pleased to carry several high quality ranges from our neighbors to the south. Colette Kids t-shirts and onesies, Green Toys and the charming playtents and aprons from Lucy and Michael are all proudly made in the USA.
This icon is self explanatory but definitely worth a mention. With so
many consumer products being made off-shore, we wanted to highlight and celebrate our home grown talents and products. From the award winning Ringley Teether to the newly launched and innovative products from Messie Jessie. Sprig Toys are just hitting the scene with their amazing (and eco-friendly) toys made in a Canadian factory.
Our signature raspberry classifies products that are exclusive to
Raspberry Kids in Canada. We have scoured the globe to bring you a unique set of products and we are most proud of our exclusive finds such as Little Chipipi, Colette Kids and Kuki Kids, a brilliant high quality collection of baby and toddler clothing designed by an Australian mom who now lives in Hong Kong. Several other products we carry have very minimal retail presence in Canada such as Dante Beatrix and their adorable little kid back packs.
G'day mate to our dear friends from down under. We are pleased to carry a few Australian designed products such as For Walls and Little Chipipi wall decals.
A budding sprout signifies organic, sustainable or eco-friendly products. Help promote the kind of world you want to hand down to your children and your children's children by shopping responsibly. Examples include the Wee Go Glass Baby Bottles, Bamboo Creative Collections E-Racers along with any of our organic clothing options. We also carry MiYim organic plush and Econtronic kid powered toys (Great packaging and no batteries required).
Several of our products are made by moms, for moms. It is a wonder why when moms above anyone else know what they need and want for their kids and are responsible for creating so many of our exceptional lines. Check out Sweetpea Baby gorgeous accessories, the extensive and versatile line of Redfish Kids Clothing and the funk-a-delic Ubi-baby change tables.
We like to give credit where credit is due and several of our products have won awards including a number of books we carry as well as Canada's very own Ringley organic teether.
Products that display this icon are those that are ethically made using fair trade practices and/or contribute to charities or give back to the world community in some way. Kenana Knitters donates portions of their sales back to the women in Kenya who lovingly made these pieces. As members of 1% of the planet, Boon is another great example of a company that is making a positive difference.
We have amassed a collection of products we are very proud of and have used or would use for our own children but we are constantly seeking out new products to bring to our valued Raspberry Kids customers and when we do, we will use this icon to let you know.

The Comiditas El Mercado Fruit and Vegetable Set is a special set of fruits and veggies for two reasons – first, it has the most pieces of all the Comiditas sets (24 fruits and veggies), and second, it includes unique pieces that are sold ONLY in this set and can not be purchased individually.
So, El Mercado is a great way to start your play food collection. El Mercado means “marketplace,” where you buy your produce, but it is also the term for the act of shopping for fruits and veggies.
The set consists of 1 artichoke, 1 whole cauliflower, 1 mango (peel-able!), 1 apple, 1 yellow squash, 1 potato, 1 orange, 4 strawberries, 1 avocado, 1 eggplant, 1 peach, 1 persimmon, 1 carrot, 1 zucchini, 1 pear, 1 chayote, 1 green bean, 2 cauliflower florets, and 1 tomato.
Comiditas products are hand-made of washable, acrylic felt. The purpose of using this fabric has to do with the ease in which to work with it, the variety of colors and the safety of cleaning of the toys.
About Comiditas:
Comiditas is a small business who seeks to create meaningful toys to play with and learn from.
They support toys that are simple but not dull. Toys made from fabric tend to be simple, as they don't need batteries, make noise, or have lights. And without these distractions, they offer an open door to a world of creativity and learning.
For example, the toys are made for both boys and girls. While playing with food has traditionally been a girl’s game, we know it is also interesting and engaging for boys. Experimenting with the texture and colours of the food through play is a wonderful learning experience for boys and girls alike.
Playing with your food is an invitation to learn about different fruits, vegetables, and food combinations. Comiditas encourages curiosity about food, and we can take advantage of that curiosity to promote good nutrition.

Washing instructions:
Since all pieces are hand-made, washing has to be a careful process. Comiditas strongly recommend that you wash each piece by soaking it in soapy warm water and let it sit for about 1 hour. Rinse thoroughly without pressing too hard. Let them dry flat on a towel for several hours.
