Pocket Disc is a Fair Trade toy that is fun and supports local artisans abroad #PocketDisc



The Pocket Disc is the most versatile disc on earth.  It is colorful and fun. I love that it is all cotton and very packable...you can have fun anywhere and anytime from music festivals to backyard bbq's. It is the ultimate travel toy...who wouldn't love to join you in playing with this colorful disc? I know people love playing anywhere from music festivals to indoors with their kids on a rainy day.  They are so soft so you can feel good about using them with little ones too. Dogs love 'em too and owners will appreciate that they won't chip their teeth or cut their gums with the specially designed Pocket Disc.  The company doesn't advise that you leave it out as a chew toy but as a play toy the Pocket Disc will last for years for you and your best canine buddy.

The Pocket Disc is a Fair Trade item. The Pocket Disc had a humble beginning as a child's school project and it evolved from there into a Fair Trade flying piece of art. Each one is hand crocheted by Mayan villagers in Guatemala. You can read more on their website....it is a truly touching story.  Six years later and over 1 million discs sold, the Pocket Disc company now helps support over 500 artisans.  They have installed water filtration systems in their villages and the work is enabling the children to stay in school longer, enhancing their education.

The best part of all is that the Pocket Disc is truly fun and an item you can feel good about buying for yourself or as a gift for a friend.  Each Pocket Disc comes in a wide range of beautiful ethnic patterns as well as team color combinations.  You can use the discs for a wide range of peculiar and practical uses  and games. You have to check out their website to get all the details.  The Pocket Disc is simple but inspires creative play and a diversity of games spring forth from children and adults alike.

The company also offer a nice array of support items including 4 styles of Pocket Discs, kicksacks (aka hacky sacks), pet collars, headbands, and more.  You can pick up this Pocket Disc online for easy shopping anytime.
