Yubo has created a durable, dishwasher safe, BPA Free, eco-friendly lunchbox that will adapt to your child as they grow. With changeable faceplates, your child will never get bored.

One aspect that we absolutely love about this product is that it is dishwasher safe! Who has time to wash out a normal lunchbox, let it dry, etc. etc....Well, with yubo, just simply take it all a part and toss in the dishwasher - viola - ready to go again!

You are not going to want to pass this product up! $21.95 for the standard lunch box, or $29.95 for the deluxe lunchbox (ice pack and food containers included) is a steal for something that will last a lifetime, and let your kiddos express themselves with ever changing faceplates!

Think Geek! Those two words pretty much sum up a fantastic company that sells a wide variety of product for all ages.

One of my daughter's favorites from Think Geek are the Smencils. What are Smencils? Well, they are earth friendly colored pencils that smell heavenly. From Cotton Candy to Black Cherry, you are sure to find a flavor that make your taste buds go wild.

Each Smencil is made from 100 % recycled newspaper. Plus the freshness tube that they come in are biodegradable. Wow! Practical, delicious, and earth friendly. I would say that is the perfect colored pencil right there! You can kiss your old colored pencils right out the door because one sniff of these babies, and you will not want to put them down!

Another great product from Think Geek is the Illuminated JetBib. This product is genius! LED lights inside of the bib flash on the sides of the picture runway, making this bib fun and entertaining. I just love the airplane spoon that comes with the bib! It looks like a real plane, and it has flashing lights on the wings of the plane too. With bright colors and flashing lights, your little one is sure to love feeding time with this product!

Not only does the Illuminated JetBib get your child to focus while eating, but once your child is done eating, they can play with the airplane. Practical, fun, and eco-friendly!

Toy trucks and toy cars are super fun at any age. I love to play cars and trucks with my 19 month old daughter. She gets so excited when you roll them across the floor. She will chase them and bring them back for hours!

Green Toys have just launched their holiday line of eco-friendly toys that includes a dump truck and a recycling truck. They are the perfect size for lots of imagination and creative play. I love that these trucks do not have metal axles. Actually, the entire toy is made from recycled plastic!

Not only are they fun, but they are made from 100% recycled milk jugs. Wow, fun and eco-friendly! But wait, it gets ever better. These fantastic toys are made in the USA which means that they go through really strict safety laws!

Milk Jug Tea Set

I am constantly worrying about the toys that my little girl pops in her mouth. Are they made in China? Do they have lead in them or BPA in them? Are they good for the Earth?

With Green Toys, I no longer have to worry about my daughter is popping into her mouth. These toys are so cute as well as very functional. Plus they are all made in the USA without BPA and phthalates which means they are safe for your child to chew on, play with, etc. Also, Green Toys uses recycled milk jugs to make each and every toy - totally eco-friendly!

I love that the toys are made in California because this state is known for their strict safety and environmental laws. By being produced in the USA, the toys do not have to travel across seas which saves a lot of energy as well as cutting down on the greenhouse gases!

I highly recommend these toys. What is not to love? They are safe for your child as well as the earth. They are extremely cute as well as inexpensive. Plus, Green Toys use recycled milk jugs for their product as well as recycled packaging without any twist ties, plastics, or cellophane. You can't get any better than this!
