It is time to teach our kids [ways to be more environmentally friendly at home.](https://energytheory.com/how-to-be-more-environmentally-friendly-at-home/) ### **Ideas of Eco-Friendly Gifts for Kids** Second-hand gifts – We often prefer to get new and branded items for our kids but what if I say, gifting them a second-hand item will be a sustainable option too. Yes, we have a set perception about second-hand products, but these days there are online stores selling them in pretty good conditions. #### 1\. **Battery-Free Toys** Parents can also make their gift-giving traditions more environmentally friendly by choosing **toys that do not need batteries**. Yes, this option may not go well if our kids do not like stuff toys. On the contrary, investing in **rechargeable batteries toys** that require can have a significant positive impact on the environment in the long run. Not only do [rechargeable batteries](https://energytheory.com/best-rechargeable-batteries-for-solar-lights/) last longer, but they also help reduce the overall environmental impact of the gift. #### 2\. **Wooden Toys** In old times, toys were **made from wood and soft-clay soil** that did not have any adverse effect on environment when thrown away. Today also you can get wooden toys as gifts for your kids. They are considered great sustainable toys for kids as they **will last longer and are much more durable** than others. Things to consider while purchasing wooden toys. * It is crucial to prioritize toys that are **crafted from** sustainably harvested wood or renewable bamboo. * We should consider **whether the toys are coated** in environmentally friendly water-based paints or stains that are non-toxic. * We should ensure toys we purchase are not only aesthetically pleasing but also **safe for our loved ones.** #### 3\. **Adopt An Animal in Your Child’s Name** ![Adopt Am Animal in Your Child's Name - Innovative and Sustainable Toys to Gift Your Kids this Christmas](https://energytheory.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/adopt-am-animal-in-your-childs-name-innovative.jpeg) A truly special gift is to **symbolically adopt an endangered animal** in a child’s name. This gift not only reduces waste, but also involves children in important issues for our planet’s future. It also provides financial support to non-profit organizations that are working to protect our declining biodiversity. There are many reputable organizations where you can symbolically adopt animals. In return, you’ll get educational emails, photos, and even adoption papers. It’s a great way to keep your child engaged with their gift throughout the year. #### 4\. **Prefer Bioplastic & Recycled Plastic** For the littlest ones, look for durable and eco-friendly toys made from child-safe Bioplastic. This type of plastic is made from **renewable plant-based materials like sugarcane**, and it can be recycled 100% if the toy is no longer needed. You can now buy toys made with recycled plastic. This reduces the production of new plastic and saves existing plastic waste from being dumped in landfills. #### 5\. **Opt. for Cardboard & Paper** Cardboard is a great choice for construction toys, especially if your child will outgrow it, because it can be recycled. There are many kits available made from cardboard, such as radios, bowling alleys, flick golf courses, and even a Build-Your-Own Pinball Machine. Recyclable paper building kits are fun for kids **aged 7 years** and can be enjoyed by crafty adults. They come in different designs like tigers, unicorns, dinosaurs, parrots, and mega-robots for everyone. #### 6\. **Go for Sustainable Stuffed Toys** Toys with the leaf tag are made with recycled plastic. The plastic used comes from **post-consumer PET plastic**, which is sourced from drinks bottles and food containers. This recycled plastic is safe for children and is used as stuffing in toys. Some brands offer eco-friendly packaging for these toys that is fully recyclable. #### 7\. **Look into the Packaging** ![Look into the Packaging - Innovative and Sustainable Toys to Gift Your Kids this Christmas ](https://energytheory.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/look-into-the-packaging-innovative-and-sustainab.jpeg) Plastic boxes and packaging are to be **replaced with paper and sustainable packaging materials**. So, prefer toys that use eco-friendly packaging materials like cardboard, cloth or paper. They are not only sustainable but **easy to store also.** Find in detail about [40 Sustainable Packaging Manufacturers.](https://energytheory.com/sustainable-packaging-manufacturers/) Well, with this we come to the end of our list of sustainable toys for kids and I hope you got what you were looking for. Remember, eco-friendly gifts for kids are made from recycled materials and are non-toxic, biodegradable, and recyclable too. Choose from wooden and cardboard, look for the type of paint used and if choosing plastic, then go for bioplastics. May everyone have a blessed and Happy Christmas! Share.
