Worried About Plastic Toy Safety?
Again and again in the news you keep reading about the ingredients in some plastic children's toys that contain lead and other hazards, one way to be sure that the toys you give your kids to play with are to do a little research yourself before you buy for either your own children or as a gift.
Green Toys is a company that has made their name selling environmentally friendly and safe-for-kids toys by using safe, recycled materials. A great example that will provide hours upon hours of fun play is their simple Sand Toys.
It consists of a bucket, a sand mold, a rake and a shovel. Getting your kids outdoors when the weather is nice is paramount and a sandbox is a great way to do it. Even better, if you live locally to a body of water, take a day trip to your lakeside or oceanside beach for the day and let your kids play the day away safely.
The Sand Toys set is made from recycled milk containers as the major ingredient and this set is made in the USA. Additionally, the set comes packed in an earth friendly container of corrugated boxes and there are no plastics, cellophane or even those annoying (and not very earth friendly) twistie-ties.
Take note of how "green" the toys your kids play with and if you don't already have some of the more simple, yet very green toys that instigate fun pretend play, indulge and get your kids into the fun of simple sand toys!
