alligatorLooking for a clever and environmentally sound way to make learning the letters of the alphabet fun for your kids? Pick up an alphabet tee or two from bioME 5, an eco-friendly apparel company focused on using fashion as a tool for learning. bioME 5, which takes its inspiration from the earth’s biomes, produces a line of 100% organic alphabet tees each emblazoned with a single letter, superimposed with a wild animal representing the letter (’B’ for bear, ‘J’ for jaguar, ‘O’ for octopus…). The animal name is cleverly printed upside-down below the larger letter on the shirt, giving the child wearing the shirt the best vantage point for reading.

The shirts are tagless and pre-shrunk; online orders are packaged and shipped in ‘green film’ biodegradable plastic bags that take only nine months to biodegrade.

The website alone is worth a visit. Simply click on one of the letters of the alphabet and listen to the museum-quality animal sound representing each of the 26 featured animals. Check out the Links area for a list of environment-friendly websites.
