Giant Stuffed Plush and Selling Toys around the World With giant stuffed plush toys, sometimes having stuffed animals that are much smaller in size, becomes insignificant. That's not to say smaller soft toys are no longer just as loved as they once were, but when giant plush toys come onto the scene, they inadvertently make everything else pale in comparison.If it weren't for the export of toys around the world, who knows what would have ever happened to the very first stuffed animal as we know it today – the teddy bear. Before the mass manufacturing of toys was ever established in the United States and Britain, the birth place of the teddy bear – Germany – was producing a trade catalogue called Hieronymus Bestelmeier. It was first published in 1792 and went on to continue being published for 60 years after that. It was this very catalogue which helped develop toy exports to the U.S. and Britain.In 1803, Bestelmeier's black and white catalogue was chock full of illustrations of mechanical toys, balancing clowns, toy rifles and pistols, joke toys, miniature houses, garden layouts with fences, watering cans, gazebos, small cooking stoves with pots...more

Aromatherapy and Children In my experience as an aromatherapist, I have found that most children take amazingly well to aromatherapy. They are refreshingly honest in their opinions and will quickly tell you if they don't like a particular aroma! They also respond quickly to the benefits of the oils. It is as if, because they have not yet been subjected to the many toxins and chemicals that most of us have been exposed to for years, their bodies have a clearer and quicker reaction.But there are some cautions that apply particularly to children and should be borne in mind to keep our precious little people safe.Never leave any essential oil where a child can get to it. They are best stored in a locked cupboard out of reach. A cool dark place is also best for the oils themselves.Always buy essential oils in bottles with an integrated dripolator, rather than an eyedropper. A dripolator will restrict the rate at which essential oils can come out of the bottle even when the cap is off, whereas once an eyedropper cap is removed the top of the bottle is fully open. Always refer to a reputable aromatherapy book written specifically for treating children or consult a...more
