Top eco toys your kids will love this Christmas
Our little eves are very much like Christmas Elves. They have sharp eyes and dextrous fingers, creating beautiful clothes and toys all year round. They also deliver goods all across the globe thanks to their pockets packed with elf dust! The main difference, however, is our elves are based in New South Wales rather than the North Pole, providing only organic toys and gifts. Eco toys have become more popular in recent years, for a multitude of reasons:
- Safer to play with
- Robust and long-lasting
- Promote social interaction
- Boost fun and imaginative thinking
- Unique and beautiful
- Many eco toys are suitable from birth
- Lovingly made — not just another number on a conveyor belt
It’s a sad truth, but many mass-produced dolls and other soft toys are manufactured of dangerous fire-retardant chemicals, as well as other forms of polybrominated diethyl ethers (PBDEs) — many forms are banned in Australia, UK, Europe, Canada and several U.S. states Unlike plastic toys, gifts made of organic materials connect your child directly to the natural world, and we have a huge range of options to choose from. Below are just a handful of our most popular children’s gifts for Christmas 2020.
