Imagine a world where we have taught environmental sustainability as a fundamental concept to our children – just as we teach shapes, colors, letters and the importance of saying "please and thank you." Idbids are a plush toy on a mission to make that world a reality! Each 9" idbid is handcrafted of 100% oganic Egyptian cotton and colored with natural organic dyes.
In addition, 50¢ from each idbid purchase will be donated to help environmental conservation - and your child gets to be a part of it! Each idbid comes with a unique code. Have your child enter his or her idbid's code online to help protect the habitats of animal friends through The Nature Conservancy's Plant A Billion Trees campaign, Adopt an Acre® or Rescue the Reef® programs.
Meet Scout - the cloud idbid
Area of Expertise: The air we breathe
Interesting Fact: Scout's a bird watcher of great renown. (He runs into them all day, every day!)
Yes, he's a little out there. But that's a good thing. It gives him a "big picture" view of what's happening on Earth. (The reason he claims to be group leader - much to the chagrin of the others.) He's loyal, honest and a good listener. But fair warning, he can get a little cranky on the subject of air pollution.
Meet Lola - the flower idbid
Area of Expertise: Trees, plants and flowers
Interesting Fact: An art lover who draws, Lola collects pictures shells and loves bright colors.
She's pretty, a fact it is best not to forget. Happily, she also believes that "pretty is as pretty does." She has a lot of patience with the boys (which is particularly helpful when Waverly loses his focus). She is wise, sees both sides of an issue, is a natural mediator and offers well-reasoned advice.
Meet Waverly - the water idbid
Area of Expertise: Ocean, seas, rivers and lakes
Interesting Fact: Waverly is a fan of 60's music and is known to turn up the volume a little too high.
A little dreamy, very sweet and loves a good laugh. He even makes fun of himself - often saying he may be all wet, but he is certainly no drip. Of course, as an Idbid, he also has a serious side. Waverly is particularly - and deeply - concerned about protecting the Earth's water resources and keeping them clean.
The idbids also come in an Eco-friendly Starter Kit
Each Starter Kit contains:
One 9" Idbid plush toy –Scout the cloud, Lola the flower of the bunch or Waverly the bright blue water drop – lovingly handcrafted using 100% organic Egyptian cotton which has been colored with natural organic dyes – no two are alike, just like children!
Colorful photographic storybook introduces the Idbids and invites the child to go on a wonderful journey of discovery. By taking iddy biddy steps along with his or her Idbid, the child learns about our Earth and what he or she can do to make a difference. Printed on recycled paper with ecofriendly inks.
Official Idbids Field Guide includes 10 doable iddy biddy steps. The child can chart his or her progress as steps are completed every day. Printed on recycled paper with eco-friendly inks.
Organic cotton backpack for the journey, can be used to carry the Idbid and Field Guide, for school books or for storing a collection.
Online reward program recognizes the child with a personalized Certificate of Completion once the Field Guide is complete.
The kit packaging is made from recycled and eco-friendly materials and includes paper doll cutouts and a playland insert.
