Children today are bombarded with plastic, limiting toys that do not expand their imaginations or aid their development. Not only can plastic toys be harmful to children’s health, but the production of plastic toys further increases our dependence upon petroleum and leaves a greater carbon footprint than natural, wooden toys.

There are many companies that produce wooden toys; however, not all of these companies provide information about the kind of wood they use or their sustainability practices. In addition, many of these companies manufacture their toys in China, where constant monitoring is required to ensure dangerous substances, such as lead, do not accidentally enter into production.

Plan Toys is a company you can trust! Made in Thailand, this toy company’s ethics mean you can sit back and watch your child play safely with developmentally appropriate toys.

Although this cake set is not as fancy as other wooden ones, like [amazon_link id=”B0036IMSB2″ target=”_blank” ]Melissa and Doug’s[/amazon_link], it is definitely a greener toy! I trust Plan Toys. I would choose safety and eco-friendly over bling any day!
