Let's Play Giveaway #15: EcoTimeToys.com

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

Thanks to Brandi at Lift with 5 Monkies and 1 Ape, I was recently introduced to ecoTimeToys.com, an adorable one-stop shop for eco-friendly toys from all leading brands including Plan Toys, ImagiPLAY, Green Toys, HABA, Sprig Toys, and Melissa & Doug. Given their amazing selection of high quality organic and wooden toys, ecoTimeToys is no doubt the perfect toy store for eco-conscious parents! All the toys have been carefully handpicked by the founders of the store, so you can rest assured that they are non-toxic, phthalate -free, contain no harmful chemicals, made from premium materials and fabrics, and have passed very stringent American and/or European safety standards.


A glance at the site will immediately tell you how much the owners of ecoTimeToys.com care about their customers. The brilliant web design and user-friendly navigation guarantee a pleasant shopping experience. You may shop by category, by brand, by age and by price range. You can further refine your search by sorting toys according to their popularity, price, manufacturer, name, and even the time when they arrived in store. Each product page provides pictures, specs, and age recommendation of the toy, along with related products. ecoTimeToys also carries toys at highly affordable prices and offer FREE eco-friendly gift wrapping on the first 2 items you order.


Based on my son's age, the nice folks at ecoTimeToys helped me select this colorful Walk N Roll by Plan Toys for review. The toy came in a long box with the cute store logo on it. I was told that the packaging itself is eco-friendly too--printed with soy ink on recycled paper. The Walk N Roll is made from natural organic rubberwood. This is our very first push along toy and Plan Toys branded item. I was really excited. As soon as I unpacked the toy, my son began to push it from room to room, giggling at the musical sounds made by the wooden balls inside the wheel. I was quite surprised that he knew exactly how to play with it without my demonstration! Proof that it's a smart age-appropriate choice. Thank you, ecoTimeToys!

All in all, I highly recommend ecoTimeToys.com. You can't go wrong shopping there. And in fact, you can take pride in shopping there because every time you purchase an eco-friendly toy from their site, a portion of the purchase is donated to various children and earth-friendly charities, such as the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. We should all support eco-friendly companies and green products that are good for our children as well as our planet.
