New Toys For Toddlers

Toddlers have a way with toys. They take them out, play for a few minutes, and then move on to the next great thing (without putting the first toy away – but that's another story). Keeping these busy bees in one place for more than a minute requires skill and planning. Adding a few new toys to their toy box can be all it takes to stop them in their tracks. Like the infant toys we've already shared, these five new items will add some spark to your next play session.

Scrub, a dub, dub, get phthalates and BPA out of the tub!
by babysugar

Scrub, a dub, dub, get phthalates and BPA out of the tub! Many bath toys are made with plastics and rubber containing hormone disruptors that are ingested once lil ones get their hands (and mouths) on them. We've rounded up some goods that are safe for splashing around.To protect the goods from mold, clean the toys with an eco-friendly cleanser or homemade solution.

Ecotot: Green Tea Set

My daughter is obsessed with tea parties.
by babysugar

My daughter is obsessed with tea parties. I love watching her gather her stuffed animals around the table and serve them cups of her finest brews, but I've been hesitant to buy her an actual tea set because the only ones I've seen are made with questionable paint sources and plastic.

The eco-conscious company Green Toys makes a tea set that will leave the worrisome mother gleeful. Crafted from recycled milk jugs, moms can rest easy knowing that the "green" tea their tot is steeping is phthalates and BPA free. For $25, the cheery hued plastic finery serves up four cups, saucers and spoons, a tea pot, creamer and sugar dispenser.

Toy Box: Green Toys Sand Play Set

Summer and the beach go hand-in-hand.
by babysugar

Summer and the beach go hand-in-hand. Since there's been so much fuss about the greening of toys, I was excited to come across Green Toys’ Sand Play Set ($22) at Giggle the other day. Since providing my tot with her own shovel, rake, bucket and sand mold, I have the peace of mind that the products are made from recycled plastic milk containers and are environmentally safe and phthalates-free.

All of Green Toys products are made in California, from milk jugs discarded by the state's residents so there is no need to worry about overseas plastic regulations. According to the company, every pound of recycled milk jugs used in making their toys saves enough electricity to keep a laptop computer running for a month. And the set comes in recycled corrugated boxes that are 100 percent recyclable.
