Review of Kleynimals: stainless steel keys that are safe for kids to put in their mouths! As most of you know, stainless items made in the USA are very, very tough to come by. It’s one category that I will compromise my made in USA mission for as I do feel stainless is a great choice & will go for stainless made abroad vs plastic made in USA, when it comes down to that choice. So of course I’m thrilled to be able to share this company with you. At 1st they just had the toy keys, but they now offer MADE IN USA BABY UTENSILS, yayyyy! http://kleynimals.com/kleynimals-toy-keys/
1st, about Kleynimals: “Kleynimals are Mom Invented Baby Products. I was inspired by my kids, as many parents are, and motivated by my own enlightenment about toxins. When my youngest son became interested in playing with my keys, I searched for non-toxic toy keys, but I never found anything that satisfied him (or me). In my own “green evolution,” I found that I felt most comfortable with stainless steel for water bottles, sippy cups, food storage containers, etc. It made sense to me that metal toy keys, that my son was likely going to put into his mouth, should be non-toxic stainless steel. And thus, the concept for Kleynimals was born. At heart, I am truly an idealist. I do not run my company in the way that I probably should… looking at the bottom line. Instead, I truly follow my heart and my personal moral compass to bring the best quality, most trust worthy products to you and your families in a way that positively impacts our environment, the American economy and individuals.”
And the above paragraph gets at what I LOVE about supporting others on the made in USA mission. It’s not always about the bottom line. It’s about ethics, morals, ideals. Finding others who are willing to live up to those ideals instead of only focusing on the bottom line warms my heart greatly!
My kiddos were already past the interest in toy keys stage of their lives when I received these, so I passed them on to my nephew at Christmas time. He’s now 8m old & my Sis has reported him enjoying playing with the keys. I think these would be an excellent gift idea & you can feel great knowing you’re supporting a quality, made in USA product! http://kleynimals.com/product/kleynimals-clean-key-animals/
My kiddos use the same flatware as we do, but absolutely, positively if you’re in the market for your babe’s 1st utensil set, check out what they have to offer. No, $35 for a set of utensils is not cheap, but that is the price to bring a made in USA stainless steel utensil set to market, and that is why it is so rare to find it made here. I’ve read that making a stainless steel water bottle in the US would put a $50+ price tag on it… Here’s the link to the flatware: http://kleynimals.com/product/kleynimals-3-piece-baby-flatware-set/
