I had my daughter make the wipe solution this weekend. (We use kissaluvs diaper potion concentrate). I explained to her what a concentrate was...it was a science lesson and "green" leeson all-in-one!
NEAT! This is so cute, my daughter would have much fun with these.

I think cloth diapers for dolls are a great way to teach your kids about cloth diapers!
I left comment on Product Focus Sew in Love doll diapers
Since I have two little boys that don't play with dolls, I have to teach them about not wasting things in other ways. Every evening my oldest helps take food waste to the composter, and he helps put things in the recycling bin. When it comes to cloth diapers, he does help me with the laundry - even puts his baby brother's fluff away for me.

Product Focus: Sew in Love Doll Diapers: left a comment
I will teach my kids about cloth diapering by leading by example...is there really a better way?
Getting the children involved in the activities we believe in (recycling, composting, cloth diapering, etc) has been the most authentic way to teach them! It just becomes natural... and since they already think it is easy/ fun/ THE way to do it, it will most likely become their belief as well!
commented in the product focus
We talk about how much money we save by using cloth ;) My oldest gets the concept of money & so it's nice to be able to sit down & have a chat with him about how much my sister is wasting on sposies & how much were saving by using cloth ;)
My older daughter likes to help pick out fabric and snaps for sewing her sister's cloth diapers with. She also get to help cut out wipes.

I have them help me out... stuff diapers, fold wipes, pick out diapers... it all gets them use to having cloth araound:)
Lilian is becoming more and more into her dolls lateley. I'm studying sociology and it really interests me. We don't have gender specific toys at out home and allow her to choose what she plays with, encouragin her to play with anything. I wonder if she's choosing dolls more frequently now to imitate me. If I win maybe changing a dolls diaper will help her let me change her diapers more frequently!! She hates diaper time! Although I bet she likes it more than she did when we used paper diapers!
I commented on ""Raising Crunchy Kids…"
I was a cloth diapered baby, and although cloth diapering has certainly improved since the 80s, my mother was always positive regarding her experience (you kids never had diaper rash, you both potty trained quickly and easily, and I changed you every time you peed rather than your brother's wife who waits until the diaper is sagging). Anyway, I think hearing those positive comments, even though I never saw her diaper anyone (I'm the youngest) and don't remember her diapering me, made me encouraged to try cloth diapering with my children.
I discuss with my preschooler how God gave the earth to us so that we will take care of it. Aidan knows that cloth diapers are better for the earth along with other choices that we make like recycling.

I would like to teach my children about being good stewards of our resources which includes cloth diapering.

I commented on,"Raising Crunchy Kids."
We also plan to start including cloth diapers in all of our baby-shower gifts. Hopefully I can convert another friend (already convinced one to start with her next baby!) and Nora will see more and more babies being cloth diapered as she grows.
I commented in "Raising Crunchy Kids…"
My daughter loves to do everything I do - including laundry - we have had to institute the policy that she can help me push the buttons to start the washing machine but that mommy needs to put the diapers in the machine by herself...

Andy is too little to learn intentional lessons so everything we're doing is just leading by example. In our lives we try to be frugal and efficient and not wasteful. He'll grow up sorting recycling and compost and will hopefully never so much as consider throwing anything away without putting thought into where it should go (or if it is even ready to be thrown away at all)
My son and I have talked about cloth diapering together and we diaper his stuffed animals while we wait for his sister to be born. 2 weeks!

Yesterday I had my 3 1/2 y/o help me with diapers, (he loves doing laundery and dishes, he is my dream child LOL)he asked me why I was putting the thing in the diaper and told him how it held Kylie's potty, he seemed very interested and it made me proud. I didn't think about it until this weeks question, but just the little everyday things we are teaching our children. It has inspired me to do more.
hi, i posted comment today on crusty kids.

I think the idea of leading by example is so important. Right now its small things like not wasting napkins and turning off lights when not needed.
ireland 241 at adelphia dot net
We try to talk to our children about why we use cloth diapers. And, in general, teach them about creating less waste, recycling, etc. I'm getting some good ideas about having the kids help with putting them together, away in drawers, etc. from other responses! It's great!
commented on Raising Crunchy Kids
another, less conscious, way my daughter will learn about cloth diapers is just through osmosis, since I surely talk about them a lot! It's a bit scary how much she is already observing the world around her!
I would always smell the diapers coming out of the dryer to make sure they smell clean and now as I stuff my pocket diapers my daughter pulls the diapers out the laundry basket to "smell" everyone.

I'm kind of "crunchy", and definitely want to teach my children how to live a greener life. My son is almost three, and he already knows about composting and recycling. He even helps with this tasks. AS for the CDing - he helps me with the laundry, and even puts away his baby brothers diapers after I fold/stuff them.
I commented on "raising crunchy kids"
As I posted yesterday, I decided to talk to my oldest son, who is 4 1/2 about why we use cloth diapers. His response was "we use them so we can use them again" I made me think about one of his favorite songs by Jack Johnson, "The 3R's - Reduce, Reuse & Recycle" He has even sang it at school in his music class. It was a great opening to the whole discussion and we even talked about WALL-E which is where I thought I was going with it to start with. Thanks for bringing up this topic to enforce the reason why we should talk to our kids about cloth.
DD#2 loves helping me load the washer (but only the CD!), a little weird but I'm not going to complain! My girls help me with so much, helping with the cloth diapers is just another thing they do. I love my "little mommies"!
commented on the "Raising Crunchy Kids…" post
Mostly we teach by doing- through our example- with some pointed discussions to illuminate our reasons. They've also overheard my several convincing discussions with our friends- 2 cloth converts so far!
my comment for today hmmm i let my older boys take turns picking out which diap Ry is going to wear ;)
We just teach by example, letting our older kids help as much as they can to change our baby's diapers.

My 3.5 year old son helps me take out the recyling and helps with sorting/stuffing diaper laundry. He knows that each of these are good for the Earth. He doesn't play with dolls but my soon-to-be one year old daughter already has a large doll collection thanks to relatives.

Although we don't have play stratigies in place yet (Nora is only 6 months), I know my dollies never went a day without a diapered behind! I can only expect the same from Nora...and since we don't buy disposables in this house, those diapers would have to be prefolds, hankies and dad's old tee-shirts! Now I know about the Sew In Love doll diapers, so they will make a very fashionable addition to Nora's dollie wardrobe!

I keep forgetting to comment! UGH!
I love teaching my daughters everything cloth, bfing, and bwing!
My son and I have been discussing cloth diapers and diapering his stuffed animals while we wait for his sister to be born.
I left a comment on "A house full of girls, a house full of dolls"
Still hoping to win one of these weeks. We really need to get out of the disposables, just cant afford them. The 30 would be a great start I could pick up a couple of diapers with that and add my diaper allowance for the month to it and hopefully have enough to get started. My son would LOVE to use the doll diapers on his cookie monster.
I feel like I should win this contest, I've been pretty determined! My laptop broke and I've been having to find places to go and enter every day!!

I didn't CD my first daughter but we are making every effort to use cloth on our new baby. The older one is still nighttime potty training so we are switching her to cloth trainers. She thinks her new nighttime "panties" are really cool and loves helping with diaper changes for her little sister!

I'm not at all what I'd consider ecologically aware. I am making an effort to do better. While my decision to CD had nothing to do with the environment (only my baby's allergy), I am pleased with the reduction of trash I'm sending to the landfill. Hopefully, my girls can learn with me what we can be doing to reduce our footprint.

Another way I plan on encouraging my daughter to consider cloth diapering, breastfeeding, and babywearing is to have her help me pick out the baby shower gifts for our friends. With all the babies constantly arriving, it's great to be able to encourage our friends to think naturally. Even those who don't cloth diaper appreciate natural baby products and organic fabrics!
what are you doing to teach your kids about cloth diapering?
I as showing my daughter (5yo) how it dosent have chemicals that might get into the body and having her help me wash :)

Leading by example I think is the best way you can teach your kids about cloth diapering and other natural ways of living. Having boys, and no dolls around the house, cloth diapering isn't as big of an issue as say, recycling, or using cloth grocery bags. Those are things that my boys can more relate to. Walking to the store vs. driving is another thing my oldest likes to do. He just thinks its great exercise not realizing that it great not to pollute the air with our car too :)

I am kind of "crunchy" and really want to pass this thinking along to my boys as they grow up. Even at the tender age of three, my oldest son is well aware of composting, recycling and my use of cloth diapers.
I have a link to the Fluff Fridays contest on my blog! :)

Another way I will teach my daughters about CDing is to provide them with opportunities to use CDs on their own dolls and stuffed animals. My toddler, just yesterday, put a prefold (ones that I'm not using since our newborn never fit our newborn diapers) on her "baby tiger." She helped her bigger tiger (Mama Tiger) change the baby's diaper. Hee hee hee.
commented on: "A house full of girls, a house full of dolls"
I let my kids help out with the proccess; stuffing, picking them out or folding wipes.
Well if win these doll cloth diapers my daughter can play with them but if not I guess I'll have to make my own. :)

I have 3 boys who have all used cloth diapers. It is what they are used to and know. I've talked about how we can reuse them compared to disposable that go into the garbage and waste space in a dump. I think my 4 1/2 year old gets it because he'll ask why I use a disposable when I do.
Just as they think BFing is the natural way for a baby to get its milk, they've learned CDing is the "natural" way to diaper... by following their loving momma's example!
We recently switched to cloth diapers for our infant and toddler, as well as our babydoll "Abigail". My 4 year old daughter immediately took one of the cloth diapers and put it on her baby. It was so cute that I took a picture of the two together. (Toddler's CD's had not arrived at pic time). She would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have some CD's for her own baby!!!! Great idea, and she wont have to compete for her brothers' CDs.

My son knows that cloth diapers are better for our planet since you wash & reuse them instead of making trash. He enjoys helping sort the diapers & inserts after they are washed/dried. While he doesn't have any dolls, my baby girl already has several so these doll diapers would be great!

I am excited to think what will be available for my daughters, now ages 1 and 2, in the CD world once they have children of their own. I'm sure it will make our diapers look old-fashioned.

I tried making Kylie's doll a diaper (she is 7 mths so doesn't know the difference), it didn't turn out so good, so if I don't win I think she will need a doll cloth diaper before she notices how bad the one on her doll looks.
I am hoping to teach my son all about cloth diapering by winning one of these great weekly give aways.
I guess my next comment is a more obvious one in that, she wears cloth diapers and so will her future younger siblings so she will grow up knowing cloth is a very real diapering option.

today i will have to say im teaching my boys how to live frugal. They know the meaning of money & how every lil penny counts. Tray will even ask how much something is before he asks to buy it & they all know that using cloth is cheaper & planet friendly
