Green Ideas: Recycled Toys from Green Toys

Happy Earth Day! In honor of the day we're showcasing a few new picks from Green Toys. Can it get much greener than a recycled recycling truck?

 
 

We really like the design of this truck and it even has labels to teach kids about the different kinds of recycling.

Also perfect for the warmer weather- a recycled jump rope.

Put them to work with this life-like recycled tool set!

All of the toys from Green Toys are made from 100% recycled milk jugs in the USA.

Green Toys is the company and their products are GREAT! My niece has the sand box set, and the tea party set. The tea party set is FDA approved for food.

Nice to know about the tea party set. I never thought about a set needing to be food-safe.

I have been trying to purchase that recycling truck but it was sold out everytime I looked. The design of that jump rope is not quite right though. :-/

I also have the sandbox pail, shovel, and rake set from Green Toys; however, I am not that impressed with the truck. It's great that it's recycled. Sprig makes some cool construction vehicles, though.
