It’s Easy Being Green!

While I was in NYC this weekend for the Hot Blogger Calendar Shoot, I managed to get in a little shopping (I’m sure you’re totally not surprised). I did go to some stores for me, but I of course had to stop off at this little place you may have heard of — FAO Schwarz — to look around for a little gift for my sweet little girl!

When I was there, I found these rather awesome toys made entirely from recycled milk containers — they are called Green Toys. They are completely BPA and Phthalate free, and they are adorable! Even the packaging is “green” and I love that! Little AG is just getting to the stage where she wants to be like mommy, so she can play for a good 30 minutes with a bowl and a whisk. Really, these toys are perfect for the age she is now, and I get the feeling they will hold up for “pretend” play for years to come.

We love the Tea Set, and it’s perfect for Little AG because she can serve “tea” to all of her stuffed friends! My other favorite is definitely the cookware set — good for boys and girls alike! What about you — what is your favorite toy from Green Toys?

You don’t have to live in NYC to enjoy these awesome toys! They are available nationwide in Toys R Us and Whole Foods stores as well as some other smaller boutiques! I think these would make a great Christmas gift, plus it gives you the opportunity to teach your kids about being responsible consumers!
