Now that the stores are starting to display Christmas decorations, of course before we’ve even taken down our Halloween decorations, some of us are starting to think about holiday shopping.

I have a number of ideas for great eco toys this year since being involved with the Eco Toy Test sponsored by Eco Child’s Play and the Goddard Schools. We had over 50 entries from great green toys companies and because we’ve created a Facebook and Flickr, we have an excellent shopping guide if you’re looking for gift ideas.

Every one of these toys is eco friendly. They are made from wood or organically grown cotton or recycled plastic. They teach kids about nature or going green. Many of them I had seen before but there were a few that were great new ideas for infant gifts, toddler and preschool gifts and even some for big kids.

Pass the word along that Eco Child’s Play has a green gift guide site! You can find it on Facebook or Flickr – add your comments to help other parents with their green gift choices.

You can talk about it or follow it on Twitter with the hashtag #bestgreentoys
