With Planet Pixies Saving the Planet is Child’s Play

planet-pixies-dolls

Finding the balance between a toy being educational and a toy being fun can be difficult. You’d love your kids to learn about the environment and what they can do to save it, but they’ll quickly lose interest if there isn’t an strong element of enjoyment. Most girls , however, will get plenty of play out of the Planet Pixies, and these dolls will help them get started on greener habits.

There are three “pixies” in the Planet Pixie line from I Love My Planet Toys and each is designed to teach kids about a specific region (as well as provide ideas on how to improve things for both that region and the rest of the world). Kayla, the Marsh Pixie, teaches about the Florida Everglades and the effects that pollution and over building have had in the area. Maia, the Tree Pixie, educates about the Amazon Rain Forest and helps young minds understand deforestation. Anyu, the Ice Pixie, highlights the North Pole and ensures that little ones learn about global warming and even the polar ice cap.

Whichever doll your child chooses, they’ll receive an eco-friendly playmate made from certified organic cotton, natural stuffing and non-toxic water-based dyes, and it will arrive in 100% post consumer recycled packaging that is 100% recyclable, meaning you won’t have to worry about pesticide and chemical use as these Planet Pixies were put together.

Once you’ve adopted a Planet Pixie, navigate your young one to the Planet Pixie site, where they’ve got a list of 101 ways to help the environment that’s easy enough for even the youngest to tackle and thorough enough that you’re bound to get a few good ideas too.
