2006 roundup #33: Kid toys of the heirloom (Automoblox) or recyclable (Ectopia cardboard fort) variety
Teaching your kids to think green starts shortly after they're born, but it'll be fun with options like Automoblox and recycled cardboard toys like the Fort from Ecotopia. They span both sides. Automoblox are heirloom quality and meant to really last, as well as provide a variety of options (you build the car out of the blocks, then drive it; when you get tired of the car you take it apart, and can then build a new one). Cardboard toys are meant to be disposable, so they're inexpensive, give your children a ready surface on which to express themselves, and can be recycled yet again when this life is over. [GT]
