Green Piece - Kids’ products special
If you?re bored of buying batteries for your all your children?s toys, here are some to give you, and the planet, a bit of a break.
First up is the wind-up radio that also works as a mobile phone charger, suitable for old and new Nokias as
well as Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Motorola handsets.
As well as relieving the planet from batteries, the radio also comes packed in bio-degradable packaging.
You can get your hands on a red football radio or a pink heart radio. Both are ?8.49.
Next is the Bat Torch. He requires no batteries and will never run out. All you need to do is squeeze him to operate the light.
He will also stand upright so that he can act as a nightlight. You can pick one up for ?4.99.
And here?s an interesting one. A women?s cooperative in the Philippines make these bags from recycled juice cartons. Seeing as the juice cartons use non-biodegradable foil on the inside, they would otherwise be sent to clog up landfill sites or be incinerated, so it?s a great way to reuse the cartons.
They make loads of different bags but as we’re all about little people today, these kids? backpacks are good and come in loads of different fruits and colours. They’re ?12.99.
You can find out more about the cooperative here.
If you’re looking for more normal toys, you can read toy reviews over on Reevoo to help you decide what to buy.
