I've discovered a brand of toys that I want to have all of and gift to every kid I know. The brand is B. Short for "Just B. Just You. B. You," these toys are available at Target and other retailers.
The packaging caught my eye first. Upon further inspection, I realized the packaging is multi-functional. It is both made of recycled materials and is recyclable, but is also biodegradable. The bags that some toys, including One Two Squeeze and Elemenosqueeze, come in is meant to be kept and reused. I will definitely reuse mine.
Another great thing about this toy company is that a portion of every purchase price is donated to FREE THE CHILDREN, a charity devoted to helping "free children from poverty and exploitation and free young people from the notion that they are powerless to affect positive change." How great is that?!?!
The first B toy I bought was the Wheee-mote control car for a little boy's 1st birthday and the packaging actually turned inside out to create a gift-wrapped box. I thought it was the coolest thing and I was hooked. The other day, when shopping for Amelia's newest toy, I landed on the One Two Squeeze blocks, and she loves them. I intend on buying a variety of these toys for her as she gets bigger and sharing our love for this toy brand with our friends and their kids.
Instead of me spewing out all the information I've discovered about B toys, I'll let you read about the company and its toys. I cannot do it justice and I'm okay admitting it. =) Go here to check it out.
