I had the great opportunity to visit Green Toys at the NY Toy Fair a few months ago. So when I was contacted to do a giveaway of one of their fun toys for Earth Day- I was really excited!
I like toys (and companies!) on a mission!
So, what does Green Toys believe?
“We believe the world would be a much better place if everyone said “please” and “thank you”, cell phones didn’t ring during movies, and all toys were fun, safe, and made from environmentally friendly materials. Since it’s probably no use holding our breath for those first two, we’re concentrating on the toys.
Green Toys Inc. makes an awesome line of classic children’s toys constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials. This helps reduce fossil fuel use and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improving the overall health and happiness of the planet.”

LOVE IT!
While I didn’t see this particular toy at Toy Fair, I did see lots of others, and they were both fun and safe. I love the bright colors, the sturdy-ness, and the knowledge that even if your kid plays tough, these toys will play back! What I like best is knowing they are safe for my kids and that they are made with good decisions for the planet. GO MORALS! These classic toys made tough for today’s kids, are also made to last. Since you can hand it down, you won’ t need to keep buying more, more, more! Yay for less consumption. So, I’d say Green Toys covers the 3 Earth Day “R’s”

Reduce- toxins, emissions, fossil fuel use
Reuse- you can hand it down
Recycle- made from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials.

One of you will win this great Flatbed & Race Car, pictured above.
