This week features a very special day, Earth Day, a perfect time to bring some green, eco-friendly goodies into the house. But it doesn't need to be Earth Day, these 5 green gifts are good for any occasion. They celebrate play as much as our dear old Mother Earth.
Green Toys Recycle Truck (above)
Forget
the regular old construction trucks, what’s way more appropriate these
days is a very green recycle truck. This push toy is made 100% from
curbside-collected recycled milk jugs and it’s safe with none of those
icky phthalates or BPAs. You can pick up one of these trucks by Green
Toys for $23.70 from Amazon here.
Sprout Your Own Sweet Scents
Seeds for your little sprout, this mini-garden kit has everything you need to create some sweet spelling plants. And perhaps the plants won’t be the only thing to grow, a green thumb might also be in your kid’s future. The kit includes a 32-page booklet, 3 biodegradable plastic planters and drip trays, 3 seed packets, 3 peat pellets and sticker sheet. This is appropriate for ages 4-12. Just add water and in no time your kid will be smelling the sweet life. You can pick one up here for $18.99.
Organic Fruit Basket Teething Toys
Young babies won’t get the whole ‘Earth Day’ thing, they’re too busy putting stuff into their mouths. But to combine those two things, you can pick up this organic fruit basket that features safe, non-toxic teething versions of a watermelon, pear, small banana and grapes by Under the Nile. Each fruit is made of 100% organic Egyptian cotton. You can pick up the set here for $24.89.
Idbids: Waverly Eco-Friendly Starter Kit
Waverly is one of three environmentally friendly characters, the idbids, that teach kids about our home, planet Earth. Waverly is handmade from organic cotton and comes with a storybook about the Idbids, a field guild with 10 “doable iddy biddy steps” to make the world a better place, and an organic cinch sack backpack to carry the new member of the family. You can pick one up from Progressive Kids here for 40% off! They regularly sell for #29.99 but you can pick one up here for $17.99. 
Sprig Rally Racer
This extremely sturdy and durable racer by Sprig is made from some magical eco-friendly material called Sprigwood™. This lightweight resin like material is made from recycled wood and reclaimed plastic. They also managed to not use any decorative paint in the production process, the packaging is totally minimal and the people at Sprig made sure to partner only with ecologically responsible manufacturers. Yeah, they care.
The Rally Racer is kid-powered and as push and pump action is made, electronic features reward the kid’s play with lights and sounds. And since it’s ‘kid-powered’, no batteries are needed. You can pick one of the Rally Racers here for $27.50.
