These Small Businesses Are Leading With Compassion

Shopping small brands is a great way to support everyday people. It’s also important for us as parents to put our money into companies that share our values—such as compassion for all living, feeling beings. That’s why these vegan small businesses are perfect for your family to support. They make products that are not only awesome for kids but also kind to animals. Check out some of our faves:

Clever Coconuts

Mom and creator Rebecca Connolly really knows how to make play food eco-friendly, fun, and compassionate. She’s created vegan wooden food playsets for kids, because who wants to play with toy animal-derived foods?
