I am so excited about this review and giveaway. I am so thankful to be given two items from Green Toys to review and they are amazing.
A little information about Green Toys:
(from their website)
- All Green Toys products are 100% made in the USA. To be more specific, they are produced in California, a state known for strict toy safety and environmental laws.
- Our toys are truly local creations. Every step in the process, from milk container recycling to toy production to final assembly, occurs in California. Our raw materials and toys aren’t shipped from overseas, which saves a lot of energy and reduces greenhouse gasses. It also guarantees your toys won’t get seasick before they get to your home! (hehe, that is funny)
- Green Toys environmental mission even extends to our packaging. We strive to minimize packaging, and all of our boxes use as little material as possible. All Green Toys products are packaged in recycled corrugated boxes with no plastics, cellophane or twist-ties, and are 100% recyclable.
- Green Toys products are tested by nationally recognized, independent, third-party labs (located, yes, in the USA.) They contain no traceable amounts of Phthalates or BPA. They are also designed without any external coatings, eliminating the fear of lead paint.
For full information on how Green Toys are made or additional information about testing, energy or packaging, you can check out their website yourself. Please do that actually. You won’t be disappointed!
The box arrived at my house. I opened it and was immediately in love with these toys. They feel good. They aren’t the slick plastic I am used to. They are sturdy and not flimsy at all. The boxes are clean and informative. This is what I saw immediately:
It was torture for me to wait until Johnny and Joley woke up so I they could play with the toys.
We were sent a dump truck and a tea set. Johnny drove me absolutely batty throughout dinner because he wanted to play with his new truck. He was so very excited about it. I pulled out the box and was greeted with the most amazing thing.
One of my biggest complaints at Christmas and birthday time are the amount of ties and whatnot to get to toys. It takes me longer to open the toy than the kid even spends playing with it. I know if you have kids you can relate to this. Well, Green Toys do not use ties or anything! I opened the box and Johnny was able to grab his new Dump Truck and go! How great is that???
I then pulled out the Tea Set. This is something I saw immediately and thought that both my babies would love it. I was certainly not wrong! Johnny immediately started playing with the tea set and setting it up. Shortly after, Joley realized that there was something new and crawled over to investigate. Let me tell you something wonderful about this tea set. It meets FDA standards for food contact and it is dishwasher safe! That means that if your little one wants to have a tea party, they can really eat and drink off these dishes. To me, that is wonderful. My kids put things in their mouths. It is such a relief to know that they aren’t ingesting horrible chemicals when they pretend to drink out of these toys. Green Toys are safe!
I am betting you are wanting to know where to buy Green Toys. I am here to help. Go here and enter your search criteria. You will also find several online retailers as well.
I am so pleased to be able to offer one of these amazing toys to you! Green Toys has generously offered one of my readers a Jump Rope!
