The search is on for the Top 10 Eco Friendly Toys of 2009, and we need your help!

Eco-Friendly Toy Test

Goddard Systems, Inc. and EcoChildsPlay are proud to sponsor the Second Annual Eco-Friendly Toy Test, which will evaluate the best green toys for preschool and early elementary-aged children based on the creative, child-engaging qualities, the interactive qualities, the price, and the eco friendliness of the product.

As green parents, we want to know just how environmentally friendly our kids’ toys are, and we want to know which ones are safe toys, because we care about the health of both our children and the planet. We also want to know which natural toys are engaging to children, and which ones have the most potential for creative and social play.

The top green toys will be awarded the Eco Friendly Toy seal and listed in the Top Ten Eco Friendly Toys of 2009. In addition, preschoolers at participating Goddard Schools will get to play with the Top Ten and then name the “Local Preschoolers Picks” for the top kid’s choices.

    Awesome idea…kind of wish the contest was geared towards “handmade” and not “manufactured” though. Maybe they could do one in the future that is not only ecofriendly, but handmade in the USA too.
    Thanks for posting this!
