I’m lucky, because I have two children who love to play together with their toys. While they do love all kinds of toys, even super cheap plastic toys, I do have some concerns about their safety, as well as the environmental impact of some of these imported plastic toys.
That’s why I was thrilled to learn about Green Toys, which are made in the USA out of recycled milk jugs. I love to see that these milk jugs that we go through by the truckload are actually recycled into something that this useful! Not only are the actual toys environmentally friendly, the packaging is also green (and totally omits all of that hard plastic and those twist ties, which are is my personal nemesis).
We have the sand pail as pictured above, as well as the jump rope. They are high quality and fun for the kids to play with! I also love the cookware and dining set, as well as the tea set – because inevitably these toys will end up in the mouth, and I have lots of concerns about this happening with just any toy.

I love stuff like this — both made in the USA and green! This is where the future prosperity of our country lies, a better world for our kids.
Thanks so much for giving me a little hope in these dark days.
