Babies 1st Birthday: Green Toys Recycling Truck Review & Giveaway

I love Green Toys and we have many of their toys in our collection. 


Here is all about them on their website. All Green Toys products are 100% made in the USA. To be more specific, they are produced in California, a state known for strict toy safety and environmental laws. It's cool to buy USA, but also think about this: transportation is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gasses. We all know driving less is good for mother nature, but did you ever think about how many miles a toy logs before it ends up in your local store?

Our toys are truly local creations. Every step in the process, from milk container recycling to toy production to final assembly, occurs in California. Our raw materials and toys aren't shipped from overseas, which saves a lot of energy and reduces greenhouse gasses. It also guarantees your toys won't get seasick before they get to your home! 

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. 

We tried out their Recycling Truck and it retails for $27.99.

Sort bottles, cans, and paper or just have a blast! Your eco-conscious little one will learn recycling basics while playing with this super cool recycling truck that has a movable recycling bed and open/shut rear door. The awesome eco-design has no metal axles.

This is a very sturdy and nice toy. My little man took it away from me as soon as he saw it.

The back opens up and you get a good look of the inside of the truck.

The back raises up and you can dump out your trash. After I took this last photo this track was taken and he started playing with it.

One lucky TTGG follower will be winning a Recycling Truck of their own.

Green Toys Green Toys™ Stacking Cups Review & Giveaway

Today's review is coming from Green Toys. I was sent their Green Toys™ Stacking Cups which retails for $10.99.

Six graduated cups, dozens of possibilities for bath and play time. Scoop and pour water, build towers by turning upside down, or just sort sizes to nest. The My First Green Toys™ Stacking Cups are colorful and fun, and teach basic counting and math concepts. Each cup is numbered on the bottom from 1 to 6 and is volumetrically accurate.

Classic Stacking Cups with a Twist
The safe, durable Stacking Cups from Green Toys Inc. are made from 100% recycled plastic and are perfect for home, classroom, outdoors, or the tub. The six numbered cups with wavy edges nest easily inside each other, or can be turned upside down and stacked over tall. This super-safe toy contains no BPA, Phthalates, PVC, or external coatings, eliminating the fear of toxins and lead paint, and also meets FDA standards for food contact, making it safe for teething babies to put in their mouths.
Fun and Learning All In One
The My First Green Toys™ Stacking Cups are colorful and fun, and teach basic counting and math concepts. Each cup is numbered on the bottom from 1 to 6 and is volumetrically accurate. Fill cups 1 and 4, for example, and it will equal the volume of cup 5, as will cups 2 and 3. Kids love to pour from one cup to the other in the bath tub, the pool, or the water table at recess. The Stacking Cups are also dishwasher safe, making the great for both indoor and outdoor play, even the beach!

Fun, Safe, and Way Good for the Earth!
Like all My First Green Toys™ products, the Stacking Cups are manufactured in the USA with a tight, local supply chain that minimizes transportation emissions and supports the domestic economy. Made from 100% recycled plastic milk jugs that save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, they are packaged using only recycled and recyclable materials with no plastic films or twist ties, and printed with soy inks. What's In The Box?
Six assorted Stacking Cups (2 blue, 2 purple, 2 green).

Love the star shape and the colors. They are made of great quality and I have a few Green Toys items and I love them all. Each cup has a number inside of it to also help with counting.

One lucky TTGG follower will win the same set as shown in this review.
