Kid Powered Toys
Kids can accumulate toys really fast. After parents, grandparents and friends give birthday, Christmas and Easter gifts it’s hard to remember what came from who. And if your toys are like ours, they’re all running on semi-dead batteries, making that talking baby doll sound a bit like Barry White.
Well I came across these great toys called Sprig, by way of Treehuggingfamily.com. They’re not battery powered toys but kid powered, imagine that! The company describes their products like this, “kids power the fun which fuels their imagination! It’s where batteries stay out of landfills and kids get off the couch. …Active kids, happy parents, healthy planet.”
The line of toys include the Discover Rig, Rally Racer, Baja Scout and several little characters with headlamps that light up when put inside a vehicle.
Here are the main features of the toys:
- Push and pump action makes the lights and sounds work
- Made from recycled wood and reclaimed plastics
- Battery free (no more Barry White)
- Exapndable (mix different characters with different vehicles for new adventures)
I could totally see my boys outside in our gravel/dirt pit creating adventures for hours. I tried to get my hands on these early for my son’s birthday but no can do. They don’t come out until the Fall of this year. I’m so excited to see what else Sprig will come up with that encourages Nature For Kids.
