Sprig Eco Toy Vehicles

What it is: An award-winning, eco-friendly line of toy vehicles made from a bio-composite called Sprig wood using recycled plastic and reclaimed wood.

Why we love it: Not only are the Sprig toy vehicles eco-friendly, non-toxic, and engaging, they also magically light up and make sounds without batteries! Similar to the design of crank flashlights and radios, the Sprig toy cars use a dynamo to generate a current that powers the LED guide character and audio circuitry. Each car has 3 modes of operation: lights only, lights and engine noise, and lights, music, and full sound. The cars come with an adorable little guide named Rudi Tootin' who has an LED-lit hat. All kids have to do is pump the car to activate the lights and sound and the rest is up to their imagination!

Who we'd give it to: This award-winning, eco-wholesome line of toy cars would make a perfect gift for pre-schoolers with eco-conscious parents.

Where to get it: From Amazon.com starting at a kid-powered $17.83.
