Going Green with your Toy Choices
Choosing the right toy for your kids this season shouldn’t be a hard task, but choosing a better and eco-friendly toy should be just as easy. Here are a few to keep in mind for that special child on your Christmas list this year.
• ABC Blocks: These blocks are made from basswood and come in a hardwood wagon that keeps them all in one place. They have a four letters sides and each block is 1 3/4-inches. Made in the USA ($50)
• Duck Pull Toy: This pull toy is made of Bavarian beech wood, elm wood, or even maple wood. Made in Germany and has a bright red painted beak and wheels with a yellow top. It is made uneven so it “waddles” as it is pulled. ($28)
• Bamboo Organic Blankets: These blankets are hand-woven and made of bamboo and cotton. They are eco-friendly and made from a sustainable source. Colors come in blue, pink, lemon, celadon and are fair trade as well. Made in China. ($85)
