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. Click here to read more

Reminiscent of our childhoods, building blocks are the quintessential child’s toy, providing a safe and creative way for small children to develop mental agility and a sense of fun.  To that end, the Uncle Goose Alphabet Blocks have revamped the classic look of these toys with something a little chicer and greener.  Their blocks are crafted from domestic Basswood, meticulously embossed with numbers, letters, and animals for learning, and then lightly painted with non-toxic inks that meet strict U.S. and European safety guidelines.  Whether your child decides to stack them or chomp on them, there are no hidden dangers lurking in these eco-friendly toys.  Find out why Uncle Goose blocks have won numerous accolades, such as the Parent Choice Awards and Dr. Toy’s “100 Best Toys” award by buying a set for your little tyke.  Find a local retailer near you at www.lindenwoodinc.com.
