Green Stocking Stuffers for Kids

Since green toys can be a little more difficult to find, it’s wise to start looking now for holiday gifts for kids. Stockings are a fun holiday tradition, and kids like to find a toy mixed in with their candy and fruit goodies. So, onward to natural, reclaimed or recycled (mostly small) toys…

Walking Stick Toys features lots of wooden toys painted with non-toxic paint. I like their goat figure, but they offer plenty more of these tiny treasures for only $7. The wooden figures are 3 inches tall and made with organic Maple. Other animal figures include a panda, kangaroo, donkey, camel and ram. Walking Stick Toys offers lots of larger toys too.

Green Toys make a nice selection of recycled goods for boys or girls. I like their jump rope with 100% recycled handles and the awesome recycling truck toy! The recycling truck might fit in a stocking, but it’s too cute not to show you anyway. If you visit the Green Toys website, click the “Where to Buy” icon on the left to find out how to purchase their eco-friendly toys.

For other sweet little eco offerings, don’t forget the cate & levi collection. Though they are a bit more expensive, they’re still worth considering. My favorites: the cat cube made with reclaimed wool and the hippo wall art, also made with reclaimed wool and a natural frame. And the stuffed chicken is too cute to ignore!
