To save my sanity I have always loved toys that have no batteries, flashing lights, carnival sounding music, or annoying high pitched voices. Toys that my kiddos have to use their imagination with.....and that don't drive us absolutely bonkers from all of the noise.
As a mother of two very active boys, I want them playing with things that will help their imagination to blossom and grow. Monkey does learn new things with battery powered toys......but these days with video games and movies sucking kids in, a lot of kids don't even know how to use their imagination and play with a simple non-noise making car without getting bored in two minutes.
I have worked with EcoMom a few times before and am excited to work with them again. I love how they are concerned about keeping my family safe with what they sell instead of only being concerned about lining their pockets. Everything that they carry in their store is free of dangerous chemicals, all of their food is organic, skin care that is safe for the whole family, their toys are all safe and chemical free, and much much more.
I love Green Toys vehicles that EcoMom carries!! Especially their new Flat Bed Truck. Monkey thinks they are so much fun and will play with them for a long time! My favorite thing about their toys is that they use recycled milk jugs as the main ingredient in creating all of their toys. Since all of their toys are made from recycled plastic, those milk jugs that you throw in your recycling bin might just end up being turned into a toy that can be played for many many years to come!
Green Toys are really an incredible concept. All of the toys that they make are made out of recycled milk jugs. Their packaging is all eco-friendly and made with recycled cardboard packaging without any anoying plastic wrapping or twist ties to get off before the toy can be played with. With every pound of milk jugs that is recycled the saved energy equals to 3000 AAA batteries and saves enough electricity to run a laptop computer for a month!
""Gentlemen (and ladies) start your environmentally responsible engines! The Green Toys™ Flatbed Truck with Race Car is on the move. This sturdy blue truck hauls our sleek red hot rod on its back, and has a flatbed that tilts up to allow the car to roll off. These eco-conscious vehicles are made in the USA from 100% recycled plastic milk containers that save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. No BPA, PVC, phthalates, or external coatings."
The thing that I love about green toys products is the fact that they are so sturdy. The plastic is really super thick so you don't need to worry about it breaking (unless you run it over by a car......but any toy would break from that) They will survive many trips down the stairs, being left outside, being thrown across the yard, played with in the pool and so much more. We all know all of the abuse that kids give their toys!! With all of the pounding and banging that it is going to get with two little boys I know that it isn't going to break.
I love that the flat bed truck actually comes with something to tow on it and that the flat bed part tilts down so that the car can roll off. The race car is very sleek and speedy looking and is built to last just like the flat bed. Monkey is sort of vehicle crazy so the more cars we have the better. When the set arrived at out door he was bouncing off of the walls wanting to open it and be able to play with it. He especially loves playing with the flat bed and zooming it around the house and dumping piles of toys off of it around the house. The race car usually get played with by baby D. He doesn't have a clue what he is supposed to so with it, but loves it none the less!
If you are looking for extremely durable eco-friendly toys that are super fun these are the ones to get! Head over to EcoMom and check out all of the other toys that they have for every age of child.

We totally agree on the importance of imagination and pretend play! Sometimes it's better to dial down the tech toys. In this case, simple is better! Thanks so much for your review!
ReplyDeleteMelissa and Doug Products could use some work..We bought the shape sorter for christmas and not 2 weeks later the top split. Now there is no top and 3 blocks are basically useless. Also the paint on the blocks doesn't stay on very well. We ordered about ten differen M&D products and really aren't happy with quality, size or construction. The paints on most of their products is already coming off or chipping away. The wood on some has broken or splintered away. Now I must say our daughter is 11 months old and not rough on any of them.
