Imaginative Toys Made From Recycled Milk Jugs

1 by Karen MacKay on February 16, 2012

Green Toys Inc. unveiled a new line of toys this week at the American International Toy Fair.

Made 100% in California, Green Toys products are manufactured from recycled plastic milk jugs. Not only are the toys eco-friendly, but they are packaged in recycled corrugated boxes which require no additional plastic parts such as cellophane or twist-ties. Containing no traceable amounts of Pthalates or BPA, and manufactured with no external coatings, these toys are healthy and safe for kids. They're dishwasher and food safe as well. Utilizing local production and recycled materials makes Green Toys a leader in environmentally friendly products for kids and an easy choice for parents.

Adding to their extensive line of fun and educational products, this week at the American International Toy Fair, Green Toys announced three new additions: a 20-piece salad set, a new line of mini-vehicles and a 44-piece Build-A-Bouquet set. They have also released many of their existing products in new colors.

I recently had the chance to check out a few Green Toys products during my last visit to California. I have to say the toys were sturdy, easy to clean and fun. Not to mention that they seemed to be a favorite among both the parents and the child. To see their full line of products click here.
