Green parents want to know just how environmentally friendly their kids’ toys are, and they want to know which ones are safe toys, because they care about the health of both their children and the planet. With this in mind, the Goddard Schools and EcoChildsPlay Eco Friendly Toy Test is accepting submissions from toy makers which meet the following criteria: the toy is eco friendly, the toy is affordable (under $25), the toy encourages creative, social, and engaging play activities, the toy is interactive and lends itself to child-initiated play, and the toy is appropriate for preschool to early elementary school-aged children. 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.
