Do you love eco-friendly toys? As someone who cares deeply about the environment, I spend a lot of time researching toys before I give them as gifts. With how quickly children outgrow toys, I want to ensure they won’t just last but can be enjoyed repeatedly. The last thing we need to do is more toys going to landfills. With Earth Day being right around the corner, I thought this would be the perfect time to share some of my favorite eco-friendly toys and brands with everyone.
