It contains lead? That's really really bad. That's a great guide for PVC-free school supplies. I will let the parents in my neighborhood know about it. Thanks.

I don't have a lot of time and would like to get these for my daughter... The only bad part is some schools take all the supplies and put them in a pile and redistribute so kids aren't fighting over Hannah Montana crap... I know that's a poor way to do things, but it's happening in Houston. -Sylvia Does anyone know where you can just buy pvc free school supplies that isn’t on the internet?

This particular post scared me like no other. Having been a student for the last four years, I never once thought how my binders can be affecting other's health, and my health. <br /><br />I'm even more terrified because I will soon have a nephew. I'm doing a massive raid of my brother's house so that when the new baby arrives he and his wife (a phd student) is more conscious of their life style for his sake. Her piles of plastic binders can be substituted with these new ones hopefully. I just started reading your blog recently. This particular post scared me like no other.

Oh – what people will offer kids!
My daugher's preschool had a 'magic show' which sounds like it consisted of a lot of wierd polymers – they sent her home with 'snow' – a dessicant granulated 'gel?' that puffs up when you add water and also a superball that she somehow molded and gelled it together by holding it in her hand in a glass of water (??##!!)
Uh, I can't believe these people encourage children touch these things – why do they think it is so safe?
Just had to share that – I posted earlier I don't worry about my 4year old chewing on toys but she did want to eat the dessicant snow for some reason – she argued with me that they said it was snow and she wanted to eat it. Yikes…

Thanks for all of the info,
Emily
