No need to plug in for recharging and no batteries required! Your child provides the power for these off-road vehicles from Sprig Toys. Regular push and pull play charges up each vehicle enough to power the lights of the Adventure Guides helmets. The Discover Rig allows kids to hear the Guides tell about their adventures (safari, outback, arctic, Amazon and Himalayan) and incorporates motor sounds and songs. Two “sidekick vehicles” are also available in addition to the Discover Rig. Each vehicle and Adventure Guide is made from recycled materials.

Sprig uses no decorative paint, use minimal packaging, and manufacturing partners are chosen to minimize the company’s carbon footprint on the planet. The company plans to expand the line of toys and keep all vehicles and guides interchangeable. Available through Toys ‘R Us, Target and other select retailers.

Named Creative Child Toy of the Year 2007, Soysilk Pals are made from SoySilk, which comes from the waste produced from making tofu. This means it’s a completely renewable resource that is 100% biodegradable! And with the heavenly feel of cashmere, who can resist? The line currently consists of six pals, and they also offer a blanket. Here’s the description for Soynia the bunny:            

             
“Soynia is a bunny. She’s super playful, really fast, and has the most contagious giggle you’ve ever heard. Soynia is a vegetarian too. Known for giving big hugs and warm cuddles, this little bunny is one of the best friends anybody can have.”

             
I think you need one just to hear her contagious giggle… - Dawn
