There’s always been this buzz among eco-friendly mom’s about disdain for plastic toys — and a preference for wood and cloth. I’m not exactly sure how long that rule remains in most households, but it’s a lovely idea. Well, how about recycled plastic pellets and sawdust? The environmentally responsible father and son duo behind Luke’s Toys were fed up after a string of toy recalls, so they designed and produced a collection of safe toys for tots made from 100% American-made recycled materials. They’ve just launched their latest products – the dump truck and the cargo truck to join the original firetruck. Shop online for these Danbury-based toys. Each style is $22.95.
