Recycled Plastic is Endless Fun with Green Toys (enter to win!)
We are very excited about Green Toys, a new line of recycled plastic toys that actually meets every item on our check list: good for the environment, safe for children, not manufactured in sweatshops, and really, really cool.
These sturdy toys will withstand whatever your little whirling dervish can dish out. I was really impressed by the strength and thickness of this plastic. But what we love is how eco-friendly Green Toys are. Green toys are made from recycled plastic, utilize minimal packaging materials, and every step of the manufacture occurs in California–saving the energy required for shipping toys from overseas.
Plus, even if you have a baby who puts everything in her mouth, no worries–these toys are all BPA-free and safe for contact with food.
These toys are just like the everyday household objects toddlers always want to grab–but far more durable. Green Toys is offering our readers the chance to win their Indoor Gardening Set, a wonderful opportunity to promote an inquisitive and nurturing spirit in your child. I’d like to have the whole collection for my child.

I like the tea set the most as my girls are always having tea parties
Besides the set above I love the Tea Set! Darling! I love that they are made in the USA which saves energy and that the packaging in environmentally friendly! Thanks!
This might be lame, but the gardening set is my favorite!
I love the gardening set.
I would like the tea set for my grand daughter.
Given that we’re working on our garden right now, it would have to be the gardening kit.
I loved the Indoor Gardening set with the Tea set coming in a close second.

Recycled plastic. ;-) Thanks. Made in USA!! Sand Play Set for summer.
My granddaughter and I love tea sets!
I really like the garden set, but the cooking set is just beautiful. Excellent stuff. Sam – delectrolux [at] hotmail [dot] com
I would love the Indoor Gardening Set. Made in the USA–no lead–and zinnas are one of my favorite summertime flowers.
my daughter would love the tea set.
It was a tough decision but I’d have to say the cooking set is my favorite. What a great idea for recycling. I can’t believe it’s taken this long to get a recycled toy that was actually worth the recycling, based on the amount of energy used to make it. Glad someone is thinking about our future!
What great toys and I love all of their environmental points but especially that they strive to use less packaging. I hate excessive packaging and kids toys are SO over packaged.
indoor gardening set
I really like the indoor gardening set. I like to have flowers/plants in my home, but also gift them, as they are a gift that keeps on giving! Thank you.
I LOVE that little tea set! Too cute! I’ve been looking for a durable tea set for Zoe’s 3rd birthday in a couple weeks. This would be perfect! I think that gardening kit might be a great “party favor” activity too!
Tori
I LOVE that Green Toys are good for the environment due to their limited, all recyclable packaging. Packaging can be really overdone by companies, and I like that they considered this as part of their company/product. Yay!
the tea set is adorable! thank you for the contest!
I like the idea of getting toys for my baby that I don’t have to feel guilty about concerning the materials and processes used!
If plastic is going to last forever lets make something fun of it!
I also love the tea set.
Very nice I would love to win this
I like the gardening set
Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway. I love both the gardening and the tea set. Both are great ideas that I know my children would really love. Thanks again and please enter me.
I’m totally loving the cookware set, but they’re all pretty awesome!
I love it that these toys are from recycled plastic…and they are adorable! I love the gardening kit! (One of my grandsons just got a new sandbox so I guess I’d have to consider the sandbox toys also)
Hi, I love all of these emerging new environment friendly companies! I like all of their sets, but the dining one is really cute. Please enter me in your drawing. We could have a lot of fun with the gardening set. Thanks,Cindi
The Indoor Gardening Kit- We live in a condo and don’t have a yard to have our own garden. I love that this is such a fun, earth-friendly way to teach kids to value recycling, and a bit of science in a fun way, and it’s even better to find a company that makes lead-free toys!
the girls would love the tea set
this would be great for my daughter and i
the gardening kit
I love the gardening set, because I love to garden in my spare time. I think eco-friendly toys are a more fun and educational way to help our children become more aware about the enviroment.
I love the sand set! Cute and good for the world!
Honestly, I know my kids would love all the Green Toys, but I am especially fond of the muted color palette featured on the tea set and cookware. Such a nice change from princessy pink, pink, pink.
Love the sand playset
My daughter is huge into gardening right now, she’d love this.
Sand play set for sure! I am a 4 yr old digger!
I love the fact that green toys are made from recycled material, so that less is going to the dump, and endangering our environment. More and more companies could take notes and learn a thing or two from those who take the initiative and do things like this.
How fun.
i love the little tea set. i think its great to have a PLANTING set that is earth friendly, it just makes sense!
My daughter would love the gardening set!! Thanks for the contest!
avery, being all little girl, dainty and sweet, would love the tea set
I like the sand play set!
Love the sand play set. My boys love playing with sand.
I love that these are made in the USA and that they are tested for safety!
gardening kit would be my choice
My favorite? The “Environmental Packaging -
Green Toys environmental mission even extends to our packaging. We strive to minimize packaging, and all of our boxes use as little material as possible. All Green Toys products are packaged in recycled corrugated boxes with no plastics, cellophane or twist-ties, and are 100% recyclable. So, not only are they earth-friendly and ready for your recycling bin, they are really easy to open for those little fingers just itching to get at the toys!!”
Easy to open toys? No plastic, cellophane or twist ties? LOVE IT!
I think I like the tea set the best!
I love the gardening kit the best, but I like to look at *all* the sweet sets. Thanks for the contest!
I love the tea set and love the fact that it is good, too!
Very cute!
Oh I love the tea set. great giveaway, thanks!

My son (6) wants to be a chef when he grows up so I like the cookware and dining set! Great products! Thanks for the give away!
Though the tea set is awfully cute, the indoor gardening set is my favorite!
The tea set is our favorite here, we have “tea” time here every day!
Green toys are so great because they really do teach kids from an early age to make good choices about the environment. I really think that if you start early enough with toys, that their decisions will become unconciously good towards the environment.
I LOVE the indoor gardening kit! My little guy is started to get interested in the garden. GREAT giveaway!
My husband and I love vegetable gardening, so I think the Recycled Plastic Indoor Gardening Set is really neat.
my daughter says the tea set
I love the tea set and I love the fact that it is made in the USA!!
Since my daughters love playing in their play kitchen I will have to say that the Cookware and Dining Set would be perfect for them.

I was first and most attracted to the gardening set.
Gardening set or the cooking set. Very interactive.
garden set
my little chef would love the cooking set but it is definitely a tie with the gardening at this time of year. less footprints for all of us-recycled,lean packaging and pba free what more can you want
My favorite is the tea set. My 6 year old is torn between tea & garden though, lol. My fav thing is the Green Toys products are tested by nationally recognized, independent, third-party labs (located, yes, in the USA.) They contain no traceable amounts of Phthalates or BPA. They are also designed without any external coatings, eliminating the fear of lead paint. Even though they are all great reasons to buy!
I think that the gardening set is my very favorite, and the tea set is cute, too. Thanks!!
I’d have to say the gardening set is my favorite and the tea set would be my second favorite.
Honestly I like all of them but I would have to say the tea set. WHat a great idea! Hopefully they will add more soon.
The gardening set is my favorite.
I love the gardening kit. Green toys is such a great idea. I also like that they are made in the US
I love the tea sets. As a child I had three sets one was my grandmothers and her sisters as children, one was my mothers and sisters and one was mine and my sisters. It was a great to think of.
I look for online site that do not use Fed Ex Ground… If i wanted to pick up packages I would go to the store and shop.
My favorite is the Tea Set. It’s so charming!

Marissa :)
Honestly, the gardening set. I’m not just being lazy! :) I like the tea set too…
I like the gardening set the best too, but I did look at the four choices and the tea set is cute too. I also love the fact that they’re lead and BPA free. I just switched bottles and started to worry about every plastic toy I see my son or daughter put into their mouths.

LOVE the gardening set for my granddaughter!!
I used to have little girls, now they are big girls. Since we’ve had little brother Jan Ewan, our toy box has gone from pretty and pink to rough and wheels. Of all of our girl toys, I now really do regret giving away our dishes. Until recently, he is now 4, I had not realized how much fun a boy could have with them. I love the set shown above, the perfect set for a boy!
Wow that is truly a great idea. I have 4 grandchildren and I am sure any one of them would love this set.
My kids would love the cookware set. They have so much fun playing with their kitchen set.
With all the recalls on childrens toys - it’s nice to see one that is safe AND made in America! Plus it’s really cute and would get much use at our house!
I love the tea set!
The tea set is adorable.
Not to be cliche but I loveee the gardening kit!
The Garden Kit helps teach children where food comes from and All Green Toys products are 100% made in the USA. That means alot to my family in order to keep jobs here.

I’d love the cooking set, my boys love to help out in the kitchen. And they use minimal packaging which helps with excess waste and is environmentally friendly.
My favorite recycled toy from Green toys is the Tea set. Very cute. Also, My favorite reason Green Toys are good for the environment is that using other items to make new toys will decrease the amount of things ending up in our landfills.
Thank you for hosting this giveaway. I’d love to win!
The TEA SET is about as cute as it gets!
The gardening kit is exactly what I want actually, though the tea party is pretty darn cute too.

Oh my! What great toys!! =) I LOVE the cookware set - my budding chefs would have a ball playing with that. And since this will be a year we start a garden, well, the garden tools are pretty darn neat as well!! I am just so excited to see these toys!! =)
WoW finally recycled toys! There such great color. I love the idea. What a great way to spare the land fills and have quality toys. so many things are made so cheaply so you end up buying more & hence throwing out more. The gardening set it great my daughter would love that. She autistic and is very concerned about the environment. I stopped taking her to the public park cause she would passionately yell at people about their pollution. lol She will love this ideal to. Excellent!
I’m a recyclist. Have been for 10 years. Always love to hear what they make from my efforts. I thought they were all cute, but I guess since I love gardening the flower pot set. If everyone recycled it would be great. I have a 14 , 15, and a 20 year old sons at home. They do their share of contributing to the toys. They go thru a gallon of milk per day, which all are recycled. Please let me know what else is made from milk jugs.
thank you
It is hard to decide, but I like the tea set best.
I like the Indoor Gardening Kit. I love that the toys save energy.
