Eco Kids Toys – Eco Friendly Toys Are The Perfect Gift

Kids Toys that are sustainable are the coolest gift for your little one(s), but also the coolest thing you can do for our planet. It’s a win-win for your children and for our environment. This Gift Guide might help you to choose or to give you some inspiration, because before you know it, the festive season will be coming around again.

Our Gift Guide on Kids Toys 

We created our Gift Guide for eco-friendly kids toys. Perfect for the festive season or as a birthday gift. Don’t worry, we will make sure these kids’ toys do not leave the children disappointed. In our list we have compiled our picks for the best eco toys available. These toys will allow children to use their curious imaginations to run wild with imaginative play, protecting the earth while doing so. 

While recycling and buying second hand toys might be a better idea than buying a brand new (plastic) toy, we believe the main goal is to buy a natural product that is durable and that can last for generations. That is why we created this guide with some timeless gifts.

Why buy Eco-Friendly Kids Toys?

One of the reasons is because it is better for our environment, as you might already know. However there are more reasons why you should consider to buy eco-friendly toys: 

1. Toxic Additives. Did you know that there are plastic kids toys that contain toxic additives? There are certain products that still contain additives like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Bisphenol A (BPA). This can potentially make these toys unsafe for children to play with, especially if these toys go near babies mouths and noses. The best way to ensure there are no harmful effects would be to choose naturally sourced toys.

2. Reducing Plastic. If the world keeps going the way it is going at the moment, by the year 2050 we’ll have produced 26 billion metric tons of plastic waste. The sad truth is that almost half of this waste will be dumped in landfills and the environment. Replacing your children’s toys with sustainable ones might not seem as a big step to fight this, however every small step matters. The more people are conscious about this fact, the better it is for our planet.

3. Creating environmental awareness. Learning to take care of our planet can start from an early age. Telling your children about sustainable materials and how it helps our planet is an amazing way to educate them so they become more aware of the products they use and even the toys they play with. This doesn’t mean playing with these toys is less exciting, sustainable kids toys are fun too! 

How to Request Eco-Friendly Kid Toys?

Some Kids Toys are, unfortunately, trending, which makes it hard to say no when this is on your child’s wishlist. We know it is so hard to say no, and you don’t always have to. However, it is good to consider that there are other options out there that do consider the environment and that are timeless. 

Next to this, friends and family might give your children plastic toys. So if you would like to see more eco-friendly kid toys, how do you communicatie this?

If your child gets gifts from family and friends, we believe it is good to empathise with the fact that you are thinking about the environment. Open communication is the only way to tell other people about your thoughts. Without openly talking about this, they might not even know you prefer sustainable gifts. As straightforward as this sounds, it will help you to raise more awareness around the gifts your children receive. You could even tell them about the websites, shops or platforms like ecomersh. where you can buy these sustainable gifts.
