Green Toys

This year, I am finding that more manufacturers have been creating what they call "green" toys. Whether they are made from sustainable materials, organic cotton, bamboo or recycled milk jugs, you will see a slew of these on toy shelves and online this holiday season. We are busy testing these toys, fact checking their claims and making sure they offer cognitive, emotional, social and physical developmental skills. As we gear up to release our Annual Holiday Issue, sign up for our free daily toy tips so you can receive a toy review and report card each day and I look for my list of green toys coming soon!
