Eco Friendly Gift Guide for Kids

In this eco friendly gift guide for kids I’ve searched through all of my favorite brands for the perfect items. I know as busy parents during the holiday season you don’t have time to do all the research on the toys you get for your kids, but you also don’t want more plastic junk contributing to landfills. For the eco-conscious and sustainably minded parents out there I hope this will be a good resource for you this holiday season. ,All of the items I include in these gift guides are either:

non-toxic
made from sustainable or recycled materials
from brands focusing on ethical production methods
designed to last for many, many years!

Eco Friendly Toy Brands You Can Get on Amazon

The convenience of shopping on Amazon can’t be ignored, so I wanted to share a bit more about some of the sustainable and eco friendly toy brands in this guide that can be found on Amazon. These companies are using sustainably harvested materials and non-toxic and chemical free dyes/paints so you can feel good about the toys you bring into your home.

PlanToys

Their toys are made from rubber trees and sawdust called “PlanWood” which is made from surplus sawdust and wood chips. The toys are finished off with organic and water-based paints, incorporating non-formaldehyde glues, eco-friendly colors, recycled papers, soy inks, and a chemical-free kiln dry process. All of their toys are non-toxic, sustainable, and good for the communities in which they are made. The high quality of these toys ensure they will last generations.
