We received the Green Toys Submarine Safe Seas Set to try out and review. Opinions are 100% our own.
I’ve been a fan of Green Toys for a while. They have such basic high quality toys for kids that are simple and perfect for imaginative play. I received a Green Toys Tugboat at Toy Fair 2014 and now this Submarine. Bath time has gotten a lot more fun for Andrew. Eva enjoys them as well but for Andrew he’s had to play with all of his sister’s bath toys for a while now and he’s excited about some toys more his speed. I love them because you aren’t going to lose parts and if we wanted to we could take them along with us to the beach.
Speaking of the beach, this set comes with the book All the Way to the Ocean. The book is all about how litter and storm drains affect the ocean and its inhabitants. The set is perfect for Earth day because not only are the toys made from 100% recycled plastic milk jugs but the packaging is recycled and uses soy based inks. Even the book is printed on a special paper that is better for the environment.
After I unboxed the toy, which was super simple and required no cutting because the packaging was made to secure the toy and the book, Andrew grabbed it and played with it a bit and then headed up to the tubby to further enjoy it.
As you can see the top of the submarine opens so that you can put things inside. It also serves as a handle. Andrew enjoyed zooming it all around the tubby. He was very fast.
I have a bit of a press release below that gives you more facts about Green Toys and the Safe Seas Sets.
