Green Toys: Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed with 299 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ chani!

So I've talked about green products such as water bottles, hair care, household cleaners, but what about toys for our children. Shouldn't we be concerned about what our children play with? The answer is YES and Green Toys creates amazing toys constructed from recycled plastic and other environmentally friendly materials. This helps reduce fossil fuel, gas emissions and improves our beautiful planet.

Here is a bit about this company from their website:

"We use recycled milk containers as the main ingredient in creating our toys. Yes, the exact plastic milk jugs that you and your family drink from every day. When you finish your milk and toss the container in the recycling bin, these milk containers are collected at your curb by a local recycling company, who then sorts them from all the other types of plastic. Next, the milk containers are reprocessed into super clean fresh plastic. For you plastic geeks, the plastic material we use is called high-density polyethylene (or HDPE). This material is considered one of the safest, cleanest plastics around."

I was sent their super fun Tea Set. Oh goodness it's cute! This adorable set meets all FDA specs for food contact and is dishwasher safe. For ages 3 and up, this tea set is sweet and simple.



The 17 piece set includes:
  • Tea Pot with Lid
  • Sugar Bowl with Lid
  • Creamer
  • 4 Cups
  • 4 Saucers
  • 4 Spoons

My daughter loves it and wants to have a tea party with anyone and everyone! Green Toys has some of the best looking toys I've seen in a long time. Their Tool Set looks awesome and their trucks look like a load of fun! All of their products are made right here in the USA.

Green Toys would like to offer one lucky reader a Tea Set!
