Hey — quick bit of honesty, because that’s how I’d want it done for me.

Some of the links on GrowingToddler are affiliate links. That means if you click one and end up buying something, I may earn a small commission. It costs you absolutely nothing extra — the price you pay is exactly the same — but it helps keep this blog running and the coffee flowing.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. GrowingToddler is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

What that means in practice

I only recommend things I’d genuinely tell a friend to buy. Most activities on this blog are built around stuff you already own — old pots, dry rice, junk mail — because that’s the whole point of this site. When I do link to a product, it’s because it earned its spot, not because it pays a commission. And when something isn’t worth buying, I’ll say so and point you to the mixing-bowl version instead.

Affiliate income never changes my opinion of a product. If a recommended toy turns out to be a dud, I’ll update the post.

Questions?

If anything here is unclear, email me at grace@growingtoddler.com and I’ll give you a straight answer.

Thanks for supporting GrowingToddler — every click genuinely helps a real parent keep this thing going.
