The Toy Retailers Asso tips for this year's top toys has been published- and amongst a list of 50 odd - no toy with any remotely green aspect made it into the list! Unless you count a recycling truck which can teach kids about recycling -but it is made of plastic so will spend hundreds of years in landfill....
I got really depressed seeing all the toys in the refuse site - so this year for March birthday I got me wee boy a cardboard rocket www.babybill.co.uk/products/ETOYS/Eco_Toys.html and it has lasted,and lasted, it gets played with, packed away, comes back and in a few months when it gets really tacky it will become an art project.
With Santa due to visit are there any more ideas out there for green tot toys?
Surely plastic ain't that fantastic?
