I love the simplicity and the use of picto which makes it easier for kids to identify with. I like the food in red very appealing and green ads the enviro aspect of it.
i like the bright bold type, its effective and memorable!
and i love the plate as the O in toy, great use of a simple line to illustrate an object!
the tomatoes seem a little cliparty for me? what if you did orange for FOOD and used oranges instead of tomatoes? or would that be too creativebits for this logo, haha.

Ivan, I've been thinking about your design and realized earlier today (whilst driving in a horrendous rain storm, mind you) that what bothers me is that it's a little static, in the sense of immovable. Perhaps if you raised up the second little tomato?
I'm inclined to agree with the point jHouse made about the semiotics of red= stop, green = go. This could fight the message.
The reason why I would stick with these fonts is for the kids, i believe that using a kiddish font may be hard for kids to read where these look like the letters we had as kids that had magnets-easy to read.
Doesn't look "fun" to me... maybe a rounded off font would work better for a kid product?
Have the food or utensils doing something would be good too. Right now the tomato and plate are just chillin'.
Creativebits is a blog about creativity, design and Macs. We also have a critique section where you can post your work to get opinions and a forum to discuss any design related topics.

Thanks for the ideas, I also thought to use a less blocky font with more curved edges.
Does look a little sleek for kids. I would like to see something a little more fun and unconventional for the font.

Nice and simple, maybe slightly tilt and move some of the letters to give it a more kiddish look.
You could also try handwriting the tag line with the hand that you don't usually write with for a unique look. I know mine looks kid-drawn...
Nice start, Ivan.

Otherwise, I think it's absolutely charming.
