Tikiri Toys
Tikiri means "teeny tiny" in Sinhala, and the family-owned toymaker behind the name has been making baby toys in Sri Lanka since 1991. Its teethers, rattles and bath toys are made from natural rubber tapped from the Hevea tree and painted with non-toxic, water-based paints, with no PVC, BPA or phthalates. Each rubber toy is sealed with no holes, so water can't get inside and turn moldy. Tikiri's Bonikka dolls bring the same care to plush, with soft bodies sewn from cotton and, on many of the dolls, organic cotton. Every toy is handcrafted in Sri Lanka, where Tikiri employs more than 1,000 people and pays fair wages.
