There is a lot of concern over the materials used to make children’s toys, especially ones made using PVC. PVC contains phthalates that are added as plastic softeners and also considered carcinogens by the EPA. Phthalates are also suspected as endocrine disputers that can affect hormonal activities in laboratory animals.
Our children put their toys in their mouths and snuggle them close to their faces – this alone is the perfect reason to find a green alternative. Green Toys, Inc. is a California based toy company that is a leader in the safe and environmentally responsible production of toys. All of their toys are made in the U.S.A. locally in California. Since the toys don’t have to travel long distances overseas, all of their toys have a smaller carbon footprint. Their toys are made from 100% recycled plastic milk containers which saves energy and reduces the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. The toys are packaged in recyclable corrugated boxes that are free of twist ties, plastic and cellophane.
Green Toys, Inc. has a beautiful line of classic toys that holds up against the roughest kids. My favorites are the indoor gardening kit and the recycling truck. I love the recycling truck because it is the perfect way to introduce the tiniest of tots to recycling and the gardening set is a great toy to share your love of gardening with your children. We received the gardening set from Green Toys, Inc. and Eben is so excited to be able to garden in his bedroom window.
