Summer is going by much too fast—time really does fly when you’re having fun! And one way to make summer more fun for the kiddos in your life is with Green Toys®! If you’re not familiar with Green Toys®, this company creates super-fun, super-cute toys—all made in the USA and all made out of 100% recycled materials (mainly plastic). Isn’t that great? So not only do these toys provide loads of fun for kids, they help reduce waste in the environment.

These toys are so well made and designed, too. You need to check them out if you haven’t already—I think you’ll be impressed with what you see! I’m sharing some info about four fun Green Toys® that are great for summer playtime…check out the photos and information below!Pictured above is the Elmo Explores Outdoor Activity Set, which includes a bucket, rake, shovel, and an Elmo Explores Activity Guide that helps kids explore and learn about the great outdoors. With this activity set, kids can have fun learning about the world around them all summer long! Ages 2+The OceanBound Tide Pool Set is perfect for summer play at the beach, in the kiddie pool, or year-round fun in the bathtub! The set includes a starfish, scallop, abalone, snail, squid, and jellyfish, which all fit nicely in an ocean-inspired storage tote! Kids will have fun scooping and pouring water with these shells and learning about sea life. Another great thing about this toy set is that all the play pieces are made from 100% recycled OceanBound Plastic. Ages 6m+Have some gardening fun with the Elmo Watering Can Outdoor Activity Set. Kids can learn about planting and growing a garden with this set that includes a watering can, rake, shovel, two seed packets, and a Watering Can Activity Guide with fun games and coloring pages. There’s no time to be bored with this fun outdoor toy! Ages 3+Another awesome toy is the Ambulance & Doctor’s Kit! This is just too fun and cute! Not only can kids have fun playing doctor, nurse, or EMT, the kit may also help them feel more comfortable on doctor visits by making them more familiar with different equipment a doctor uses during a check-up. The kit includes an ambulance that doubles as a carrying case for the other items in the set—a stethoscope, reflex hammer, syringe, forceps, thermometer, otoscope, doctor notepad, and two sheets of stickers. Makes me want to be a kid again, just so I can have a cool toy like this! 🙂 Ages 2+
