kaufMOM Crush: Green Toys
Green Toys just made every day Earth Day. The company is my new favorite in-home amusement park, eco-chic must-have, weekend babysitter, earth doctor, and meta millennial masterpiece. Green Toys are the new “Green Juice” and my whole world just changed.
Mother Earth just texted me about this epic find. And from one mother to another, she made playtime half as wasteful.
My kid is the future. And his new Green Toys toys totally have that in mind. Our apartment is now filled with colorful submarines, racing cars, recycling trucks, pool toys, and board books that were 3D printed in 100% post-consumer recycled plastic.
A few facts behind this company and bonafide #kaufMOMcrush:
1. Green Toys have recycled 81 million+ milk jugs to date
First of all, Green Toys are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic milk jugs.
Second of all, I’m pretty sure my son has consumed at least half of those milk jugs himself. So I’m pumped about this multi-purpose plastic that makes me rethink our entire family’s carbon footprint.
2. Green Toys surpass international and US safety standards
They’re not only sustainably made but also 3D printed without any harmful toxic glues, dyes, screws, or paints. And they’re morally, ethically manufactured in the USA.
So if your child is anything like my 1-year old shmoo, who finds an excuse to chew on every object within reach, you can relax. Green Toys are safe to slobber on.
3. Green Toys let you recycle too
Each recycled green toys box saves one gallon of water.
The arguably award-winning packaging features cardboard and soy ink (a natural, renewable resource that biodegrades 4x faster than alternatives).
So I can unwrap my eco-friendly fun and recycle it again too. I don’t have to throw anything away when we just want to play.
4. Green Toys are freaking fun
These toy cars speed race across the floor in flying colors. So you’d never know they were all hybrids with limited carbon emissions.
And the ferry boats are fun to float even if you’re more of a subway or highway commuter.
Meanwhile this recycling truck teaches a lesson in sustainable living and entertains for hours.
But the submarine might be my pookie’s personal fave. Because there’s just nothing more divine than eco-friendly bath time.
NOTE: Most Green Toys are suitable for children 1-year+.
