Green Toys

With the holidays coming up, parents are starting to wonder what the next big thing is for their kids this year for Christmas. One company stands out to us, and that is Green Toys Inc. This is a company that sells toys for children that are made from 100% recycled plastic milk bottles and other environmentally friendly materials. Green Toys Inc has already been recognized by Parenting Magazine as one of their 2008 Toys of the Year and Dr. Toy’s 2008 Top 10 Best Socially Responsible Products.

The toys that are made are fairly simple but are also classic toy designs including the Tea Set, Indoor Gardening Kit, Sand Play Set, and Cookware and Dining Set. These toys are sold through a variety of retailers, from Target to Amazon.com, and you can find a complete list of retailers here.

I found this company impressive because not only are their products green, so are the boxes that they use to package the toys, and ship the toys which are made out of100% recycled cardboard. Green Toys Inc. manufactures all of their toys in a factory in Santa Clara, CA, because they believe it is more environmentally friendly than outsourcing production in another country. This video from CBS Early Show has one of the partners of Green Toys Inc passionately talking about his company and the toys they product:

I love to see these kinds of companies because not only are they focused on being environmentally friendly; they are continuing to spread awareness of the green movement.
