What are they? Fractiles are special sets of colorful, magnetic tiles. Each tile is cut into a geometric shape and kids (and adults!) can arrange the tiles to create snowflakes, starbursts, spirals, spaceships, and much more! The possibilities are limitless.

Mila has a Fractiles travel set and has created any number of eye catching designs. It has been a great addition to our car activity arsenal – joining Wikki Stix as a top travel fave for us – but plenty of fun has been had at home, too!

Along with Wikki Stix, Fractiles are made in the USA.

Every Earth Mama Angel Baby product rates a 0 for toxins on the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics’ Skin Deep database; the best rating a product can receive.

Can’t say I’m surprised, we love using wraps and it was our primary carrier with Gael when he was a wee one.

You can find the full line of Moby Wraps at Milagros in Portland – Regular, Moby D, and the Moby UV wrap. We also offer a selection of regular Moby Wraps in our on-line store.

Tip – If you want to just pick-up an on-line order from Milagros, pick “ship to store” when you check out. There is never a shipping charge for this option.

Spring has sprung with Green Toys!

Just in time for that spring sunshine, Milagros now has earth-friendly indoor garden kits from Green Toys! The happy-yellow flowerpots are made in the USA from 100% curbside collected, recycled milk jugs. Every pound of recycled milk jugs used in the making of Green Toys saves enough electricity to power a TV set for 3 whole weeks!

The indoor garden kit comes with everything you need to cultivate flowers, herbs and your little one’s green thumb: three planting pots, peapod-shaped planting tray, trowel, soil, and an assortment of organic seeds. Just add water to the compressed soil pellets, and in minutes the garden is ready to plant with the included seeds. Easy-to-follow growing instructions are included, too.

Place your Green Toys indoor garden in a sunny window and you and your child will soon be enjoying freshly plucked organic basil, bright blooms of zinnia and cheerful teddy-bear sunflowers!

We have other great Green Toys at Milagros, too! Including wonderful cook sets and tea sets!
