KIWI's Best Green Toys and Gifts

top

The holiday season has officially arrived, and we're here to help you tackle your shopping list with green gift ideas for the whole family. Some of our favorites:

Babies and toddlers. Amazingly soft animal blankies by Apple Park are made from organic cotton, filled with natural hypoallergenic stuffing, and come in five versions (including a bear, bunny, and duck). ($24, applepark.com for a list of retailers)
Little kids. Nearly all the plastic for Kettler's Go Green tricycle is made from recycled materials, and the foldable feature makes it easy to store. ($50, target.com)
Older kids. Fair Trade Sports' soccer ball is eco-friendly and vegan, with all profits going to children's charities. ($35, theultimategreenstore.com)
Teens. The Dynamo Solar Radio runs off of the sun's energy—and if the sun's on hiatus, use the hand crank! ($24, uncommongoods.com)
Parents. Charm necklaces from Heart and Stone are made from recycled silver and can be personalized to show off your kid's name, birthstone, or birth date. (chains start at $40; charms start at $65, heartandstonejewelry.com)
