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 Tegu Explorer Set is a 40 piece block that features a variety of block sizes including angle blocks to allow for gravity defying building possibilities! Made, like all Tegu blocks, from sustainably forested hardwood, safely hidden magnets and water-based, non-toxic coatings.
About Tegu:
Tegu began with the notion that the founders wanted to help Honduras and its people, and they quickly discovered that Honduras could be home to beautiful, sustainably-harvested tropical hardwoods. In the course of observation and ideation in a kindergarten classroom, they discovered that kids use toys to tell stories, or to help them better express the wonderful narrative at play in their heads. In that process a winning idea emerged, which evolved into Tegu’s magnetic wooden blocks.
When it comes to wooden toy design, Tegu is all about creative play that stimulates a child’s mental growth, imaginative capacity, and physical dexterity. Tegu is creating classic toys that serve as a foundation for exploration of all sorts for years to come.
Tegu products are completely safe for the children (and adults!) that play with them. The wood is obviously natural, the magnets are safely enclosed inside the wood and the coatings are water-based and non-toxic.
Tegu is dedicated to treating every employee with with respect and dignity, from the Honduran toy maker to the American marketer. They have sourced hardwood from sustainable foresters and every time a Tegu product is bought, they either send a child to school or plant a tree.
What Raspberry Kids has to say about Tegu:
Who doesn't love to play with blocks? And we love that Tegu has taken blocks to the next level. Beautifully made, Tegu caught our eye and we have been eager to bring them on board ever since. We highly recommend watching the video (click above on the Video tab!) outlining Tegu's efforts in Honduras. Heartwarming is an understatement!
