Beach toys that are good for toddlers and the earth

Beach toys that are good for toddlers and the earth
I'm almost embarrassed to think about how many plastic buckets and beach toys we've gone through in my seven years of parenting. If only one of our fave brands, Zoe b organic, had come up with this amazing earth-friendly alternative back then.
Their new biodegradable beach toys are the perfect size for your beach happy toddler, with a bucket with built-in handles, a sifting lid, two little cups and a shovel that's more like a scoop, which is great for little ones who aren't really concerned with digging holes. The best part, however, is that the entire set will biodegrade in compost, soil, or fresh or salt water in around 2-3 years, unlike those regular plastic buckets that take oh, about, 500 years. Eep.

Once you've gotten your own years' use out of it, pass it onto friends or, you know,  bury it in the garden. -Kristen
