Tips to Keep Your Kids Wardrobe Organised
Lots of families struggle with keeping their wardrobe, well, relatively tidy. We’re not talking about Instagram influencer-level tidy, just, you know, enough that you can dress your kid without a headache. So we did the research for you. Here’s three easy tips to keeping your kids' wardrobe tidy. Declutter Before you start tidying, free up your kids’ wardrobe by getting rid of stuff that your kids no longer use. This includes clothing, toys or just random stuff they’ve received as gifts but secretly hated. Remember Marie Kondo’s decluttering technique? You don’t have to talk to each item (although personally I...

Team Junico Kids visits Victoria Avenue Public School to introduce the concept of preloved fashion as a way to reduce the environmental impact of fast fashion.

Some people ask if it’s okay to wear secondhand clothes, particularly for kids. Personally,...
5 Sustainable Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids
Kids love Christmas because they associate it with holiday, food and presents. But buying gifts for the sake of gifting is not such a good idea for the environment. Research shows that we create 30% more waste during Christmas from all the unwanted gifts and excess food we feel obligated to share. We would like to remind you that it doesn’t have to be this way! Receiving (and expecting) a gift is not something that kids are born with. Rather, it’s something that our culture reinforces over and over. And while the act of gifting itself is great, sometimes we...
