In keeping with Earth Day and trying to be more green, I am pleased to share what I think are the best play dishes ever. Green Toys sent us a dish set to review and they are a big hit in our house. I like them because they are made in the USA from 100% recycled milk cartons, are sturdy, have great gender neutral colors and are safe for the dish washer. Oh and they arrived packaged in a simple card board box, without all the stupid twist ties and plastic windows that so many toys come in! The kids like that I actually give them real food on them because they are BPA free and food safe (and the bowls are the perfect size for ice cream). We have other play dishes that are made of a hard brittle plastic and they aren’t holding up so well (many have chipped and cracked including a well played with tea pot). I am thinking of giving those dishes away and ordering the kids the other sets that go with these new dishes. They also sell a tea set, a chef set and a cookware & dining set. The chef set is really cute, the little ladle and the lidded pot have me sold!

In addition to the kitchen sets, Green Toys makes some really cute trucks (see the recycling truck below), blocks, tug boats and more! Another big thing for me is that the Green Toys products are very affordable. Its so nice that there are more and more green toy alternatives, I hope its a trend that lasts!

*Oh I just saw these on the Today Show after I wrote this post, how cool but they didn’t tell you the name or how to buy them.
