Santa can bring green toys this Christmas
The holidays can be tough on parents -- trying to figure out what your child really wants, where to find it, and how to get ahold of it without spending a fortune. And now that there's a new toy recall seemingly every time you turn around, playing Santa is even more complicated.
If you're stressing about what to buy, you might check out a few of the eco-friendly toys at the Discovery Chanel store. They're featuring some very cool options -- especially for the little ones -- just in time for your Christmas shopping.
Take Pyramid Building Blocks, for instance. My daughter loves building things and using her imagination -- and, while I think LEGOs are great, wooden blocks (especially of the untreated beech wood variety) are better for the environment. This set is a nice twist on the traditional, as the different shapes allow your child to create an ancient Egyptian motif. Very cool!
If you don't think that'll fly, you might also try the Tolo baby Carousel, the Hydrogen Fuel Rocket, or any number of green gifts you'll find by digging around the site a little bit.
