Green Products for babies and children were another hot commodity at this year's DC Green Festival. Parents could take in a talk by green baby guru, Dr. Alan Greene, then head over to the exhibition hall to outfit their little ones with the newest in eco-kid trends.

The most clever and stylish exhibitor in this category was Speesees, an organic cotton baby wear retailer. The company's eco-cred is thorough, from their fair trade, sweatshop-free cotton and low-impact dyes to their donation commitments to an elementary school in Zari Pada, India, where the clothing is manufactured. The product line consists of clothing such as bodysuits, t-shirts and shorts, as well as accessories for baby's bed and bath activities. Highlights include an adorable and toddler-chic teddy bear jacket ($46) and a spiritually-minded dandelion kimono ($24). However, the baby yoga pants ($22), were cute, but a tad unnecessary.

Baltimore-based Solar Publishing is looking to break into the booming $3.3 billion a year children's books industry. They would like to do so with publications that create "a sense of connection to nature and humanity." Starting in the fall, all releases will be printed on wood-free or recycled paper.

Solar's catalog currently consists of only two books priced $9 and 13. The first, Mbutu's Mangos, is about a young boy's experience as the season nears for his favorite fruit. The second book, called My Mom Hugs Trees, features an eco-friendly mom with some funny habits. A new book, My Mom Eats Tofu, is coming this fall. One can only assume that My Mom Does Yoga and My Mom Drives a Hybrid are in the pipeline.

Amazing Grass, an organic drink powder company, also has a product aimed at the grade school market. Mixing one scoop of chocolate-flavored Kidz Superfood with milk or water gives your half-pints 3 servings of fruits and vegetables from 33 sources in only, yes, half a pint. A container with 33 servings is priced at $24.99. Although it certainly contains a who's who of organic ingredients such as wheat grass, barley, alfalfa and so on, you might be skeptical about the claim that it has a " flavor your kids are sure to like."
