Holy Smokes, was I happy when my sister bought our son your recycling truck for his 2nd birthday recently. I had just finished my daughter's birthday party and was ready to lose it after dealing with all the plastic, made-in-China-out-of-who-knows-what, completely overpackaged, sub-standard, poorly-designed 'toys' she got. Some of those packages took me more than half an hour to get unpackaged, through the layers of plastic, zap straps, twist ties, and garbage, and then trying to find any of it that could be recycled took me much longer (trying to separate the minimal amount of cardboard and paper was a daunting task). And then, something miraculous happened ... from beneath the pile of garbage and off-gassing crap, a light shone ... a recycling truck appeared. I opened the cardboard box, took out the truck, gave it to my son without worrying if it was going to harm him, and put the box in the recycling. How easy could it be?
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. Please make more toys that make me and my kids feel good. (My son insisted on taking the truck everywhere for most of the week).
You have the best toys! I bought my daughter your tea set about two years ago and we love it! Since then I have purchased the Sand Play Set, Cookware and Dining Set and the Indoor Gardening Kit. I am so impressed with your products! I love that they are made in the USA and that they are just excellent quality. Thanks for making such great toys. It’s hard to find good ones these days. Keep up the good work!
I purchased the recycling truck for my daughter’s birthday; so far it's her favorite Green Toys' toy. Frankly, it's one of her favorite toys altogether. I love that you thought to include "recyclables" on the box. I cut them out for her and she loves "recycling" everything, but I must confess she's into commingling, rather than separating!
Anyway, I just wanted you to know that you have loyal customers in our family and we appreciate the great toys you've produced. Keep them coming!
Just a big thank you for making great quality products here in the US. I purchased the dump truck, the tool set and the recycling truck for my son's xmas gifts. Keep up the good work…it’s been a long time since I have been pleased with a toy and yours hits all the mark, quality, responsibility, and value.
As a parent, I can’t begin to tell you how much I LOVE your products. My 3 year old has your Dump Truck, Recycling Truck, and Cookware set. I’m so happy to be able to buy a product that he enjoys while being able to stay true to my environmentally conscious beliefs. In addition, your dump truck recently went down 5 flights of stairs in a parking garage and came out perfect- not a single scratch or break. Amazing!
I am looking forward to seeing your new products…Thanks again for making a great product!
I am a father of four children, and your toys are a lot of fun for them. We own your sand play set and recycling truck, and my niece will be getting the tea set for her birthday. I like the look and quality of your toys, but I think the efforts you've made to design and make these toys in the US is the most commendable aspect of your business. I really appreciate the good you're doing for your community through employing your fellow citizens. It feels good to buy a safe, fun toy and know that 100% of the money I spend goes back into the community through wages or taxes at all levels. I look forward to your upcoming products.
Wanted to drop a quick note of how high I am on your products and mission. I first noted Green Toys when my dad purchased the Green Toys tea set for my daughter's birthday. Everything you do and stand for exemplifies what a company should do and exactly what I value with my purchasing power: made in USA, recycled material and simplistic and efficient packaging. I have long made comments to my wife of wanting to buy "made in USA toys" and how wasteful toy manufactures are with trendy and colorful packaging. It's really neat to see a company take a leadership step in doing what's right. I will definitely be purchasing Green Toys in the future. Thank you for doing what's right; I think it will catch on. Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Hello Green Toys!!!
I just love your company and I think that you should make ALL U.S. toys! Pretty, safe, energy-saving and durable toys, that we as parents do not have to worry about containing lead or other harmful pesticides. Please, please, please make more!!!
Sincerely
I just ordered the cookware set for my niece for her birthday and two gardening sets, one for my son and one for my niece for Easter, and am really excited. I can't wait for you guys to expand your product line. I am going to forward your website to everyone I know!
I bought your tea set for my daughter's 2nd bday, then for a friend, then I told my sister to buy it for her 3 year old. My daughter loves it and we have a tea party every night before bed. So congrats on a great product and I hope you make more toys!
My mother-in-law just sent the Tea Set to my 2 year old for her birthday and we both love it! :) Eco-friendly, made in the USA and cute, too! I love your product. We will buy more. I am eyeing the sand castle kit. I will also send an e-mail to all my friends and co-workers about how wonderful you are with a link to your site. I hope you become bigger than Mattel! People would start recycling so their kids could have more toys. :)
You and your company just get better and better. I expect you'll have a lot of new customers in the New York City area soon! Thank you for adding "great customer service" to the list of reasons to recommend GreenToys.
I love all your stuff! My sister bought our girls the tea set for Christmas and now we’re collecting everything. We just purged all our stuff ‘made in china’ and replacing them with just about the only thing we can find made in the US that’s eco friendly. Green Toys is a diamond in the rough!
Proud supporter,
My 2 year old daughter just received your cookware and tea set for her birthday and we could not be more delighted with them. The colors and shapes are safe and fun. The weight is just right (hey, she's 2, they throw things at that age so the idea of giving her a metal cookware set was terrifying). Out of all the presents she received, the only presents that she demanded be opened immediately were her Green Toys sets. She has not stopped playing with them since. She fixes me breakfast every morning! Every friend who sees them asks about them and I am proud to tell them about a non-toxic plastic toy they can purchase for their child made from recycled material. Please don't stop now. Make more! …A milk jug made from milk jugs-how brilliant would that be? …Anyway, whatever you create next, we are anxiously looking forward to it and she'll definitely be getting the garden set and the beach set this spring.
Thanks again,
Today I spent some time doing some online browsing looking for gift ideas for my children for the holidays this year. I had seen a blurb about your toys in Parents magazine and decided to check out what you had to offer. All I can say is WOW. What a wonderful idea. The lesson of recycling is on going in my household and I can't wait to give my daughter your tea set and help further the connection in her mind of an environmentally conscious and friendly lifestyle. And as a side note, what you had to say about your packaging had me cheering!
"All Green Toys products are packaged in recycled corrugated boxes with no plastics, cellophane or twist-ties, and are 100% recyclable. So, not only are they earth-friendly and ready for your recycling bin, they are really easy to open for those little fingers just itching to get at the toys!!"
I wish every toy manufacturer would go this route at least in packaging!!! I HATE the twist ties and screws I have to undo on chirstmas morning to get at my kids toys.
Thank you for doing all you do!
Thank you for making these toys!!! It is about time a company makes American made toys I am so tired of this china stuff! it has taken me two years to completely get all of the china toys sorted and out of my house now we only buy American made toys and they are VERY hard to come by and now to have some sold in a store near by so we can see before we buy is GREAT! …and to have them eco friendly is another +. I bought the tea set and cookware and dining set for my daughters for Christmas and their aunt is buying them the garden set and sand set for Christmas.
Thanks,
a Loyal Customer,
I love your products! What a wonderful way to recycle! Just bought the cookware set … for my little boy who loves to steal his sisters' dishes. ;) I hope you'll add more products soon…I love that your packaging is all recyclable too and none of those awful twist ties!!
Thank you!
