As vegetarians, we struggle to find gelatin-free vitamins for our kids. I was so excited when I discovered these ones from Rhino. My kids take them willingly, and they actually taste pretty good. I know this because they were the only vitamins I could handle during the height of morning sickness. Each bottle is roughly a month’s supply. You can purchase one for $9.99 at VeganStore.com. CVS drugstores also carry a store-brand that is similar, all-vegetarian, and a little cheaper.

I was actually searching for a set of pajamas for my 4 year old when I stumbled upon these toddler vegan classic tie shoes by Soft Star. They caught my eye because they’re not flashy or oddly colored like some eco-friendly shoes for toddlers seem to be. These could be worn as dress shoes or as casual shoes, and look quite comfortable.

These shoes are handmade in the USA of all-Vegan materials, simulated leather made from polyurethane. There are many other styles and colors of Soft Star Vegan shoes available at WildDill.com, including a pair of very comfortable-looking sherpa moccasins. The Classic Ties shoes come in sizes fitting ages 2 to 6, and sell for $34.

My longtime commitment to vegetarianism leads me to buy non-leather shoes for myself, but my one cheat has always been shoes for my kids.  I have just encountered so much difficulty trying to find quality non-leather footwear that will support their growing feet.  That’s why I was so excited to stumble upon this line of toddler shoes from Soft Star.

I love these sandals, which clearly have a foot-friendly design.  The soft soles are perfect for foot development, and they look airy and comfortable.  I love the contrast between the blue and pink.  The shoes are hand-made from simulated leather.  You can purchase a pair for $46 at wilddill.com.
