Review – Green Toys, Made From Recycled Material, Tools Chest

June 13, 2016October 15, 2021 Brittney

In elementary school a big blue garbage can marked with a circle of arrows showed up at my parents house. We talked about the importance of recycling and doing your part to reduce, reuse, and recycle. While I’ve been a recycler for as long as I can remember (sometimes to a chagrin of my husband who doesn’t want to waste time cleaning out a peanut butter jar if we are essentially just going to throw away) I started caring about it so much more since my kids came along.

I suspect many of us get that way. We’ll do what’s right because we’re supposed to, but we don’t really think or care about the broader picture until we’ve got someone who is really going to benefit or suffer from our actions. Anyway, there is my pitch for recycling. It’s a good thing, and you should do it.

So, after the hundreds of cans and bottles I’ve cleaned out and sent off I was very pleased to be able to see this recycled stuff come full circle (in a more interesting way that a paper box) with a company called Green Toys.

A company that takes recycled stuff and turns it into toys. How fun is that, and what a great way to motivate your own kids to recycle. I’m thinking a toddler would happily make sure a milk carton made it into the recycling if they knew it could become a tool set. Then I found exactly that. A tool set made from recycled milk cartons made by a company called Green Toys.

They take recycled material and refashion it into toys! I think it’s a great idea and a perfect way to encourage kids to recycle. “If you put this milk carton in the recycling it can become a toy car,” seem pretty persuasive to me.

Green Toys has some fun toys on their website that include play food, trucks, tools sets, play flowers, outside games and more. All of them are made out of 100% recycled material, and even the cartons holding the products are 100% recycled and recyclable. I love it! Plus all the products are from stuff that has been recycled and refashioned in the USA, saving on extra fuel emissions and what not. Bottom line, this is a fun way to play and a fun way to help save the earth.

Okay, so I was really excited to find a brand of toys that I could feel so great about promoting but I was curious about what the actual toys were like.

First they were packaged in a cardboard box (recycled of course) and there were no twisty ties or plastic bits to claw my way through, also as soon as I had my toys removed I could drop all the packaging right back into the recycle.

The tool set itself was great. The pieces have a rough texture like a milk carton, but it’s clear that that is by design. The toys were solid and well made. My son had a blast trying to screw the pieces into the side of the tool chest and hauling the whole thing around the house. It was the perfect size for his little hands and while the tools were solid they weren’t so heavy that I was afraid of him causing real damage by hammering things other than the provided nails. He probably spent 15 putting both the screws, nails and screw drivers in the little holes around the tool chest, and he had a great time playing with it.

Green Toys Pros:

Environmentally Friendly
Solid and Well Built
Hassle Free Packaging
Multiple Color Options (the tool chest, dump trucks and trains also come in pink)

Green Toy Cons:

Fairly Simplistic Toys
Not a Huge Variety
Fairly Expensive (the tool chest will run you a cool $28)

There are so many toys are made out of plastic these days, if you want to have plastic toys you feel good about check out Green Toys.

Touring Boston – Free Fun Fridays – Tons of Great, Budget Friendly, Ideas to Tour Boston During the Summer

June 8, 2016October 15, 2021 Brittney

Every year during the summer Boston does this thing called “Free Fun Fridays.” Each week they have a handful of museums and historic type things open for free for the day and it changes every week all summer long. This is the perfect chance to explore some of the museums and attractions that your interested in that might otherwise seem too expensive.

Touring Boston - Free Fun Fridays - Tons of Great, Budget Friendly, Ideas to Tour Boston During the Summer

We were lucky enough to go on Freedom Trail day. When my husband and I came to visit Boston before moving we had a brief exposure to the historic waking tours while we were touring one of the cemeteries. The actor leading the group was telling some really funny stories and we were intrigued, but didn’t end up going on a full tour ourselves.

Freedom Trail Tour Boston Capitol Building

Now that it was free we made the extra effort to check it out and we loved it! If you come to Boston I would highly recommend the historic tour.

I had to laugh at human nature when we were bought to the historic state house. We were told that about 50 years ago the city was going to tear down the building because they needed to widen the road. A bunch of people got together to try to raise money to save the building but in the ended didn’t raise enough so the city was going to demolish it. However, they were approached by some county in Illinois that was all for the widening of the road, but wanted to buy the state house and reassemble it brick by brick in Illinois. To which the city of Boston immediately replied with something along the lines of “You can’t have our historic state house! This is Boston history!” and the state house still stands in the middle of the city.

In any case Free Fun Fridays are everything the name suggests and you should really make an effort to check out some of the events.

Have you been here before? If so I’d love to know more about your experience and any tips or tricks you have in the comments section below.

Preschooler Letters – “L” is for “Leaf” Craft

June 6, 2016August 22, 2023 Brittney

Letter L Craft - Toddler/Preshooler letter of the week craft L is for Leaf with related craft, tracing sheets and fruits/vegetables.

Supplies Needed:

Colored Craft Paper
Letter “L” Cutout
Glue
Markers
Plastic Wrap

Toddler/Preshooler letter of the week craft L is for Leaf with related craft, tracing sheets and fruits/vegetables.

Set Up:

We started this craft by going outside and picking up a bunch of colorful fall leaves from the ground, which was a lot of fun in and of itself. Then we took our gathered leaves and glued them down to our letter “L”. When we had glued down all of our leaves we put a small piece of plastic over the top of our letter and put a book on top of that so that our leaves would be glued flat to our “L” (the plastic was so we wouldn’t get glue all over our books). When the glue was dry we glued our “L” down to our craft paper.

We finished by talking about different seasons and how some trees change during different times of the year.
