Green Learning Toys: Good for Kids and Planet

ChildTrek believes that the best toys are good for both kids and planet. They promote positive childhood development and are made under sustainable practices. To this end, ChildTrek carefully selects unique, eco-friendly children's toys. Most are made of natural, biodegradable, recyclable or recycled materials.

A few children's toys are made of cotton and polyester blends. Very little new plastic is used. Toys made entirely of new plastic are medical-grade. They are PVC-, BPA-, lead-, and phthalate-free. Completely free of the bad plastic stuff. Others are made of reclaimed or recycled plastic (i.e., milk jugs, margarine tubs) using environmentally-sound practices.

The learning toys you'll find here are finished with vegetable or other natural dyes, polished with beeswax, painted with water-based and non-toxic paints, or retain their natural, unfinished beauty.

Rest assured that all the children's toys and books you'll find at ChildTrek are safe and non-toxic.

Unique, Eco-Friendly Toys for Young Children

ChildTrek carefully selects unique, natural baby and toddler toys that promote positive childhood development through play. The learning toys encourage children to think and use their imagination -- thereby stimulating their intelligence and natural curiousity. They encourage sustained playtime between child and parent. We do this because research finds that this is important in the child's emotional, social and intellectual development.

Safe Natural & Wooden Toys for Babies, Toddlers, Children

All of the natural, wooden and eco-friendly toys you'll find here meet, indeed often exceed, established North American and European safety standards. They are child-safe and non-toxic.

While many of the unique toys for babies and toddlers are made in Europe and the United States, ChildTrek uses objective criteria to select children's toys. ChildTrek fundamentally believes that this is far better than relying on the location of facilities alone to evaluate the safety and quality of kids' toys.

ChildTrek also proudly features green learning toys made under fair-trade agreements to support world prosperity.
