Continuing on from Gifts For Children 5 And Under, I have created a list of eco-friendly or at least active toys for children 6 and up. Some are for children who are closer to 6 and others are for children closer to 12 or above. These toys are very much more appreciated in our household than the usual video game and electronic devices.
Again I would really appreciate your help in rating the toys listed below to get a feel what natural parents most like for their children. This should serve as a good list to give to people who are giving your children toys soon for either Christmas or birthdays.
I chose the toys from Amazon as they are accessible to everyone, and I have never had any issues when ordering from Amazon in the past. While I don’t own every toy on the list below, they have all received very good reviews.
Please have a look at the toys below then select the 5 toys you would most like your children to have.

Lego Ultimate Building Set (405 pieces)
It is plastic, but it is that durable it lasts for generations. Also the manufacture of lego is quite good environmentally, for the type of material used. |

Frightened Grasshopper Solar Powered Bug
Fun, educational and only just over $4 to buy. |

Would recommend more for 12+ |

It took me a while to find these green toys. I hope it inspires some ideas and it will ensure a reduced impact on the enviroment. If you want to see everything else Amazon has for green toys and it is a LOT of awesome things. Amazon Green Toy Collection
