Every parent wants the very best for their children. Weither it is the food that they eat or the toys that they play with, parents are always looking for the best alternatives to provide their children with safe lives.
Many children are more interested in branded, popular toys which appear regularly in ad breaks or are based around characters from their favourite television shows. Although many manufacturers are working to produce eco-friendly toys, those that appear on the shelves may not be. Taking the time to research the materials and the techniques employed in the production of a toy will insure that the purchase parents make will be in the best interest of their children.
So what is better about Eco-friendly toys? Why choose them over your child's popular, 'must have'?
The answers are very simple. Looking at the way in which young children interact with their toys will tell us a lot. As most parents know young children will put any toy them come into contact with straight into their mouths. Often children will out-grow a toy before it has lost its 'usfulness' and the toy may be passed down in families or relatives.
Eco-friendly toys are usually made with recyclable or biodegradable materials. When that toy breaks and is no longer usable, (if the toy can not be recycled), sending it to the landfill will not add to the pollution of the planet. The natural components of the toy will slowly decompose without adding any detrimental chemicals to the environment.
One is never too young to learn about taking care of our environment and eco friendly toys are a great way to teach children that we must look after the planet we live in.
Although it may not stop the yearning for that popular toy, having a discussion on the possible effects such a toy may leave on the planet, plants the seeds for a lifetime of eco-awareness.
Children will imitate their parents and showing the correct ways to care for our planet will encourage them to follow that example. Keeping our landfills free of pollutants is the goal. Purchasing eco-friendly toys is a great way to for parents and children to work to achieve that goal.
