We all know that children are hard on their toys, regularly throwing, chewing and stepping on them. Finding toys that are durable enough to withstand childhood is a difficult prospect, but today we have the option of toys that are not only durable, but also eco-friendly.
Why choose ecological toys? Well, who wants their kid chewing on potentially toxic plastics? Children will chew, drool and handle their toys, so knowing that no PVC or BPA is added to the plastic means your child isn’t at risk of toy poisoning. These things are regularly found in normal plastic and vinyl toys.
Another great benefit of eco-friendly toys is that you don’t have to sacrifice ‘cool’ toys or cool colors. Today, Green Toys has a great line of cars, trucks, fire trucks, and even a recycling truck that are made from 100% recycled milk jugs. They also have dinnerware and kitchen sets so your budding chef can create the same way…safely. All of their products are made in bright, vibrant colors and are strong enough to withstand childhood and contain no toxic chemicals or external coatings that can lead to a variety of health problems down the road.
We all want our children to one day be responsible, environmentally friendly adults, so another benefit of giving them eco-friendly toys now is that you are planting the seed and teaching your child how important it is to use sustainable products and products that don’t. damage the earth more when they are older. Children are like sponges and simple ideas can be taught even to the youngest. They will see that their toys are fun to play with as you tell them how responsible toys are for them and for the environment.
Most eco-friendly toys also have limited packaging and/or use recycled packaging with no plastic ties, to further save on litter production. This also helps your child learn about recycling and waste reduction, which are great lessons to instill while they’re young and will last a lifetime.
Eco-friendly toys have many benefits over regular plastic toys and are great for children of all ages to enjoy, they stand up to anything kids can do and are toxin-free which makes parents feel good about giving them to them to his children.
