Here are some fun facts about Green Toys:

• Made in California – Keeps the jobs locally in our country in a time when most manufacturing are outsourced overseas.
• Great Packaging – Simple packaging with recyclable materials that doesn’t require mom and dad to drag out their tool box to open
• Eco-Friendly materials – We think it’s incredibly cool that they are made of recycled milk jugs + we are extremely impressed with how durable the toys are!

Recently, a film crew from CBS went out to the Green Toys factory in California and shot a feature. You’ll hear from the founders Robert von Goeben and Laurie Hyman about how their toys are made.

It’s a really cool insight about how Green Toys are made!

Safe Mama on March 24th in Green Toys at KangarooBoo:

Turn pretend play, planet friendly! One of my favorite online shops KangarooBoo is now selling Green Toys, a line of toy sets made of recycled plastic (like milk jugs).

Cool Mom Picks on March 12 in Eco Friendly Dolls That don’t Look Like Eco Friendly Dolls (If You Know What We Mean):

There’s an extensive collection well beyond baby dolls (and well beyond white baby dolls) at one of our favorite toy shops, Kangarooboo. And the prices are way, way more reasonable than you might think at $31 and up. Whichever you love, you’re getting an heirloom doll with a bit less of an eco footprint.

Sara’s Toy Box on March 7th in Store Review: KangarooBoo:

Every time I take a look at the KangarooBoo website, there is something new. A few weeks ago, it was wooden toys from Estia. And then, there were beautiful French dolls from Petitcollin. This made deciding what to write about tough.

We are very excited to announce the arrival of Green Toys! After waiting since last year, Green Toys finally started making their first shipments recently, and we received ours this weekend!

Green Toys are truly green. Its line of classic toys are made from 100% recycled milk jugs! Their packagings are also 100% recycled materials. Not only are the products eco-friendly, but the entire process and logistics have been very well thought through. The products are made in California, where the laws regarding environmental and toys are the strictest. It not only creates and preserves jobs in America but it saves a lot of energy and reduces greenhouse gases by not relying on so much back and forth transportation to/from other countries.

And the toys are great classics that children enjoy. A sand play set, garden set, cookware set, and tea set. We can’t wait for the weather to be warmer so we can play outside with these Sand Play Sets and Garden Sets.
