#1: Eco-Toys

From pouches made from Barbie clothing scraps to battery-free flashlights and bamboo cars, this year, "green" toys were everywhere. We saw some really cool kid-powered toys, like a penguin flashlight from Russimco that you pump to power, and this car made from reclaimed plastics by Sprig Toys that tells a story when you push it. Packaging is going green too as companies like Plan Toys and Russimco use more earth-friendly inks and biodegradable boxes.
