Sprig Toys – innovative and award winning

Jill — Mon, 25 May 2009 08:09:10 +0000

We have recently received some of the fabulous Sprig toys to review and we are really excited! Winners of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio 2009 Platinum Award and The National Parenting Center’s 2009 Seal of Approval, among other acclamations, we have been desperate to try these out. For those of you who haven’t heard of them, Sprig toys are an eco-friendly, pre-school range that harness kinetic energy so light up, and make sounds without the need for batteries!

Made from a child-safe, bio-composite material made from recycled wood and reclaimed plastic, the toys are affordable designed to encourage outdoor play with a range that includes an Excavator, Loader and Dump Truck. We won’t tell you any more, we’ll save it for the review which will be online tomorrow.

Available now from Firebox.

It’s that time of the year again and Firebox has just released their 10th Christmas hot toy prediction list.
