Little Cherry eco-friendly party supplies  

by Ruby Speechley

Little Cherry party bags are made with recycled fabric or off-cuts where possible, but this doesn’t mean you’ll receive your toys in a piece of old rag – far from it! I found it hard to keep my son away from the ‘horrible monster’ patterned drawstring bag that rattled and crunched with its hidden delights. 

The contents were not disappointing. The gifts were good quality and ranged from a spinning top, a car with a clown’s head and a whistle (also with a clown’s head.)  

All the toys Little Cherry supply are made from sustainable timber and painted with non-toxic paints. The only problem I found was when my son played with the car – after only a few minutes, the tiny bell on the end of the clown’s hat had come off. Not necessarily a problem for a five-year-old and most of the products do warn that they are only suitable for children over 36 months, but be aware of it if you do have younger children around. 

The pink gingham bag aimed at girls is also reusable; perfect for a pencil case or keeping hair accessories

in. The contents were just as gorgeous: an elasticated bracelet, hair clips and a pencil with an articulated fairy on top. Again, each piece is wooden and brightly painted; so much nicer than many of the plastic toys our children are used to. These gifts will be treasured long after the party has finished. 

Prices are surprisingly low, starting from as little as 99p for a clown pencil. Filled party bags can be purchased from £3 each.
