Something I'm super passionate about, as most mothers are, are the products I use in my home. It's amazing the chemicals that are hiding in our products, and one that shocked me the most was toys! You'd think that something meant for our kiddos was safe. Unfortunately some companies definition of "safe" isn't nearly as safe as they should be. As most of us already knew. 

The next post I will go more into detail about WHY you need to be careful when purchasing a new toy for your child, but for today I'm going to do a review on one of our favorite toy companies!

Green Toys!

Their toys and other items are manufactured in the US and are made entirely out of post consumer plastic. Products made from recycled milk jugs!! How cool is that?! 

These days it's pretty rare to find a company not only committed to helping the environment but also one that cares about our children's health and safety. 

Our Green Toys are played with every single day. I've been so impressed with their quality and durability. 

They are also pretty cute to look at! 

A bonus, these toys can be cleaned in the dishwasher!
