Reuse, reduce, and recycle for a more eco-friendly lifestyle. The new Recycling Dump Truck from Green Toys teaches all these concepts by example and through play.
The Green Toys Tea Set is a favorite of ours and Green Toys has rescued more treasure from the trash heap with its new action toys made from recycled milk jugs. Check out this video tour of the new line of Green Toys we previewed at Toy Fair 2009…
Just find one way each and every day to make a small difference–even little actions add up!
Many responsible toy retailers are now highlighting products made from eco-friendly materials. Consider buying locally when possible–saving the fuel required for shipping is even better than buying organic, another smart move. And while you are showing your respect for the planet, don’t forget its people: when you purchase items from around the world, look for fair trade products.
We hope you’ll enjoy our Earth Day Guide…
With the Eco Town from Plan Toys, your kids will find a new earth-friendly surprise around every corner.
We played with a set that includes a play mat with plenty of green set, an eco home, train station, vehicle charging station, and more–and all of these toys teach about sustainable development. Clean energy is spotlighted in this earth-friendly town.
For two years I was spoiled by the amazing variety of cute clothing for little girls–in every imaginable style and hue. Now that I have a baby boy, I admit I actually get excited when I see affordable and cute clothing for baby boys.
Check out the new baby boutique collection from Old Navy: Under the Sea. I especially like the Baby Boys: Sea Creature Graphic Tees for Baby in Tangelo.
This puffer fish is puffing his way right into my heart…
For Mother’s Day, how about an eco-chic gift that also helps women in impoverished areas avoid or overcome slavery?
The Emancipation Network (TEN) is an international organization dedicated to fighting human trafficking and modern day slavery. Through Made by Survivors, TEN provides survivers of slavery and people at risk of being trafficked into slavery with an opportunity for a sustainable income, education and help reintegrating into society.
They had me at saving women from slavery…
I just bought a cute climber with a gift certificate from my aunt–wish I had this coupon code!
Babies R Us coupons are always popular with our readers…so here you go!
Darling little Maddie. You were taken from this world much too soon. I wish I could play with you and cuddle you and know you for the sweet little girl you are. More than that, I wish I could hand you to your mommy and daddy so they could hold you once more and forever.
I cannot imagine the burden of their sorrow at losing you.
Since my wish is not to be granted in this lifetime, I will wish instead that your legacy will be one of hope for other children.
The Spohr family is asking that, in lieu of flowers, we donate to March of Dimes in Maddie’s memory. The March of Dimes works to ensure mothers have healthy, full-term pregnancies.
Children are natural ecologists. They love to play outside and appreciate the joys of discovering rocks, plants, and animals along the way.
What they need a little help with is conservation–learning to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Shutting off the lights, taking shorter showers, and opening a window instead of turning on the air conditioning are all ways that even the littlest person can make a difference.
The Plan Toys Green Dollhouse aims to introduce children to sustainable living through a concept dollhouse. Every aspect of the Green Dollhouse helps children learn how people can co-exist with their environment in a more eco-friendly way…
