Sprig Toys Giveaway!

By

We love our Sprig Toys! We reviewed a selection of the new Sprig Hollow Eco-Friendly Nature Toys for toddlers and preschoolers and they were a big hit at our house.

These adorably cartoonish toys are made from recycled wood and reclaimed plastic. “Sprig Wood” is easy on the earth, durable, and child-safe, too. Kids can play with Sprig Toys in the dirt and the water. Sprig Wood even smells fresh and woodsy. And each toy comes with a seed paper flower, which you can plant and watch grow–a perfect way to explore nature.
