Green Toys For Boys And Girls Are Made In the U.S.A. And Environmentally Safe.
Are you a parent or grandparent concerned about the safety issues, recalls, and warnings associated with many of today’s toys-particularly those produced in some foreign countries? Whether it is a lead paint issue or another component that makes a toy unsafe, parents and grandparents are looking for environmentally friendly and child safe alternatives they can trust for their kids and grand kids. And U.S. toy companies are responding!
Enter Green Toys Inc., a California based company that specializes in creating high quality children toys that are safe and fun but also produced in environmentally safe ways and from safe, environmentally safe products. This toy company is quickly becoming a favorite with both grandparents and parents!
Perhaps you are already familiar with the production of polyethylene, but if not, here’s a quick primer. Polyethylene is a safe, clean, high density plastic product created entirely from recycled milk jugs. And this is the material Green Toys uses to produce their high quality toys.
Green Toys products also help the environment by saving energy. Did you know that by recycling one pound of milk jugs saves enough energy to power your laptop computer going for one month? It is also equivalent to saving 3,000 AAA batteries. That’s a lot of batteries, which translates to a lot of toxic waste in our landfills. By purchasing child safe green toys, the environment is staying safer for the next generations.
What other factors should be considered when purchasing green toys? Thinking about the amount of emissions from gasoline, ideally the products should be made in the USA. This eliminates transportation across the world and saves gas while lowering the price that would have to factor in to international shipping. All Green Toys products are produced in Northern California.
When buying Green Toys, you will notice that the packaging is also eco-friendly. Made from recycled cardboard, the entire process makes these child safe toys completely green – from the plastic, to the packaging to the transport.
Green Toys offers favorite toys both girls and boys will love and their selection is expanding as the company grows. These toys make wonderful gifts, but they are also a great way to teach your child how they can make an impact on their world by recycling. You can show them real examples of products they can relate to made from recycled materials.
Girls may be interested in the tea set, which is made from completely recycled materials. When little girls set up a tea party, green toys are safe for the kids to eat food from. With the quality testing that these green toys undergo, not only are they dishwasher safe, but they actually meet FDA food contact standards. The set includes an entire set-up for your little girl, including tea pot, creamer, sugar bowl and four cup, saucer and spoon sets.
In keeping with their commitment to recycling, Green Toys has introduced a recycling truck for little boys. This toy lets boys discover the fun of recycling at playtime as they load “recyclables” into their truck, play with the movable recycling bed, and open and close the rear door of their toy truck. It’s a great tool for teaching environmental awareness. And this toy has a unique axle design that eliminates the need for dangerous metal axle pieces.
There are also great green toys suitable for playing in groups or having family fun-like jump ropes and flying discs. What could be better than combining eco-friendly toys with old-fashioned play and family time?
Before a toy can be considered truly safe, it must undergo a lot of testing. All of the Green Toys products meet the rigorous standards set by the Consumer Safety Improvement Act and Safety Standard. They also pass FDA testing for contact with food and the California Prop lead and cadmium restrictions in addition to other international and voluntary testing.
Green Toys assure that you are not only buying child safe toys, but that you are doing your part to protect the environment with the added benefit of keeping Americans at work.
