PLAY FOOD GOES GREEN, STACKABLE AND SUPER SAFE

Mill Valley, Calif.—Green Toys Inc. is serving up an earth-friendly feast for the imagination in 2011. With the uniquely stackable Green Toys^TM Pizza Parlor and Green Toys^TM Sandwich Shop, kids can “cook up” all kinds of meal-time scenarios. Like all Green Toys products, the new food playsets are made in the USA from food-safe, 100% recycled plastic milk containers that save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Also new for 2011 are the sturdy Green Toys^TM Flatbed Truck & Race Car, a Green Toys^TM Planting Kit and two additions to the My First Green Toys^TM collection—Stacking Cups and the Twist Teether.

“Our ultra-safe play food meets food contact standards, so parents can relax even when their kids pretend to take a bite,” said Laurie Hyman, Green Toys Inc. co-founder and mother of three. “Every piece looks good enough to eat and is designed to stack, which develops fine motor skills and minimizes frustration. Our toppings actually stay on the pizza slice!”

The Green Toys Pizza Parlor and Green Toys Sandwich Shop let kids play chef and server by taking orders, creating custom dishes and waiting on diners. These colorful sets feature realistic, interchangeable ingredients that stack vertically in any order and work perfectly with Green Toys kitchen sets. The 27-piece Pizza Parlor retails for $28 and includes four pizza slices that form an eight-inch pizza, twenty toppings, a pizza cutter, Pizza Parlor order forms and a pizza “delivery” box. Priced at $17, the Sandwich Shop playset comes with all the fixings for two complete, three-inch-square sandwiches, including two bread slices, bun top and bottom, burger patty, fillet, cheese slices, produce toppings and Sandwich Shop order forms. Green Toys stacking play food products are recommended for ages 2+.

The six graduated cups in the new My First Green Toys^TM Stacking Cups set provide dozens of possibilities for the bath and play time. Older babies and toddlers can scoop and pour water, build towers by turning the cups upside down, or sort sizes to nest. The colorful Stacking Cups also teach basic counting and math concepts. Each cup is numbered on the bottom from 1 to 6 and is volumetrically accurate. Fill cups 1 and 2, for example, and it will equal the volume of cup 3. Priced at $11, the Stacking Cups range in size from 1.5-inch diameter to 3.5-inch diameter and are recommended for ages 6 months+.

Young green thumbs can watch nature at work by growing a small indoor garden in days with the new environmentally friendly Green Toys Planting Kit. This $6 set includes a 100% recycled four-inch plastic pot, a package of organic sunflower seeds, a soil disk and easy-to-follow instructions. Recommended for ages 5+.

The Green Toys tradition of sturdy, award-winning vehicles continues in 2011 with the new Green Toys Flatbed Truck and Race Car. This 11-inch blue truck hauls a sleek red hot rod on its back, and has a flatbed that tilts up to allow the car to roll off. The six-inch Race Car—which proudly displays the #2 recycled plastic symbol on its hood—also is sold separately in red, blue and pink. Both vehicles have an ultra-eco design with no metal axels. The Flatbed Truck & Race Car set retails for $33, while the Race Car alone is priced at $9. Green Toys vehicles are recommended for ages 1+.

Even the youngest babies can shake, rattle and explore with the My First Green Toys™ Twist Teether. Tiny hands easily grasp this lightweight, three-dimensional, ultra-safe teether. Each uniquely shaped and colorful charm has a distinct texture to stimulate visual and tactile senses. Priced at $11, the 4.5-inch Twist Teether is safe for all ages.

All Green Toys products are designed, manufactured and assembled in California. Made from food-safe, 100% recycled milk containers, they contain no BPA, PVC, phthalates or external coatings and are dishwasher safe. Each toy is packaged in a 100% recyclable corrugated box printed with soy inks—no twist ties, plastic or cellophane.

Green Toys products are available via online retailers and at specialty stores worldwide.
