Over the past year or so, my children have grown to love Green Toys, and so have I.
Of course I like the idea of Green Toys--they are made from recycled milk jugs and are made in the USA, thus reducing energy use because they aren't transported from say, China. And you don't have to worry about their safety because they are BPA-, lead paint-, and phthalate-free.
But what I really like is the quality of the toys.
My children have the Tea Set
and the Recycle Truck
and they look as good now as the day we got them. And they get so much play time. Both my son and daughter like the tea set. My son is an excellent guest at the best tea parties served by his hostess of a sister. And he even likes to pour a cup of tea for his grandma. (Read my reviews of the Tea Set and Recycle Truck.)Both my son and daughter play with the recycling truck. In fact, if a small toy has gone missing, it's likely that it's in back of the truck!
Another plus is that you can literally take them out of the box and start playing with them. No pesky twist ties to wrestle with and no excess, unnecessary packaging.
Green Toys sent our family the Dish Set
and Chef Set
to cook and serve up a few meals in our "kitchen." As with all the other Green Toys, these sets are of the utmost quality and look as durable as the other toys have been for us. I love that the kids could play in less than 0 to 60 since I could open the box and take the toys right out.The dish set includes 24 pieces: 4 plates, 4 cups, 4 bowls, and 4 place settings (fork/knife/spoon).
The chef set includes a stock pot with lid, skillet, ladle, and spatula.
These two sets can also be purchased together (at a discounted price) as the Cookware and Dining Set
.
I have to say that even if Green Toys hadn't given me toys to test drive, I would be a fan. In fact, some of the other toys that the company makes will likely appear under our tree courtesy of Santa. I know my son will be receiving a shiny new Green Toys Dump Truck
which I am purchasing from our local toy store. Shhh, don't tell.This was written by Leighann who can be read at Multi-Minding Mom where she dishes about family, food, foraging, frivolity, and more!
Please read our disclosure statement. Green Toys provided me with the dish set and chef set for this review as well as other toys in the past. We are HUGE fans!
