My Summer Wish List:



OR





3) Green Toys Dump Truck (Red/Yellow and the Pink/Purple one)

 

 
 




I posted these things because I was searching Amazon and thought, what things could help us to have a Great Summer? I came up with these MUST HAVE items for our family this summer! Especially with another baby arriving, these items could help our kiddos get some energy out and sleep well since there won't be any school for 8 or so weeks.

Green Toys (Eco-Friendly Toys) Review!


We don't own many toys in our home that require batteries for four reasons:

1) Batteries are expensive!
2) They don't require kids to use their imaginations.
3) Batteries are not good for the environment.
4) Most toys aren't Eco-Friendly.


These are only some of the toys you can purchase from Green Toys! I think that my daughter and son are getting the Dump Trucks from Santa this year! They love Big, Chunky vehicles to play with! We own probably around 6 or 8 of them already, but they play with them the most. You can even purchase Tablewear that your children can use when eating real food! It's nice to know that we can purchase products for our children to eat off of and with, and they are one hundred percent Safe. There are many products not shown above, including Pretend Food Playsets, a Tea Set, Sand Toys, Teethers, and more!

I really love Green Toys! All Green Toys products are made of 100 percent recycled plastic! Even the package of light weight cardboard that the toys we reviewed came in, were made of recycled materials! ALL Green Toys are made in the U.S.A.!!! There are NO trace amounts of Phthalates or BPA in any of Green Toys products . They are also non-toxic, designed without any external coatings, eliminating the fear of lead paint. Purchasing Green Toys Saves Energy!



Green Toys use recycled milk containers as the main ingredient in creating their toys. Yes, the exact plastic milk jugs that you and your family drink from every day. When you finish your milk and toss the container in the recycling bin, these milk containers are collected at your curb by a local recycling company, who then sorts them from all the other types of plastic. Next, the milk containers are reprocessed into super clean fresh plastic. For you plastic geeks, the plastic material they use is called high-density polyethylene (or HDPE). This material is considered one of the safest, cleanest plastics around. (Mostly Copied from Here.)


My family and I had the chance to review the Tugboats from Green Toys! They are very durable and cute! I love that they float without tipping over. My children love holding them down into the water and filling them up with water, so that they can poor the water out over and over again! Both of my children, my three and a half year old son and my two year old daughter, LOVE their Tugboats! After they are dry, both of my children want to play with them outside of the bathtub and their pool. The handles on the Tugboats make them very easy to hold and take along anywhere! We are taking a road trip later this year, and the Tugboats will be going with us because they are so versatile. All of the products from Green Toys are Dishwasher Safe.




Buy It:
