Green Toys Recycling Truck Review

Educational toys aren’t always easy to come by, at least not toys that you think your child will actually play with.

But a good old truck never fails to impress, and it’s not possible to buy trucks that have an educational side too.

Probably the most important issue to teach your child about today is caring for the environment, and this truck teaches your child about recycling.

But is it worth buying? Let’s find out.

Key Features Of The Green Toys Recycling Truck 

  * Tilting recycling bed
  * No metal axles
  * Fully recyclable packaging
  * Ages 12 months – 10 years

Is The Green Toys Recycling Truck Worth Buying?

The Green Toys Recycling Truck immediately stands out for its design. It’s got a very natural/”eco”-green coloring and is big and chunky. It looks really friendly and fits right into any caring homey environment. Your kid will be attracted to it without being overstimulated by excessive bright colors.
In practical terms, there are several features of the truck that make it appealing for play. Firstly, it’s very large. That makes it more fun for kids to look at and to hold. It’ll also make it fit into its role as a garbage truck much better when played with alongside other toys – action man can become a garbage man and he won’t be three times the size of the truck!

There are also a number of specific features that add playability. Firstly, the recycling bed tilts back. This is similar to the way many real trucks work, making it easy for the contents of the recycling bed to be removed from the truck. Secondly, the rear doors open and close. This adds some fun to the toy and makes it a little more interactive.

Probably the biggest feature of the toy are the recycle chutes on its side though. Each chute is labelled with specific kinds of recyclable material – just like a real recycle point where different materials are separated. The packaging of the truck comes with several cut out household objects that correspond to the chute labels. This way, your child can learn to put the right objects in the right chutes.

By playing in this way your child learns about separating materials for recycling, and gets normalized to the idea of recycling which so many of us still find tricky to get into our heads today. Together, these things make this toy highly educational.

The toy itself is made from 100% recycled materials and is manufactured entirely in the USA. On top of that it’s built using a local supply chain and doesn’t use any external coatings, paints or dyes on the outside of the toy. In other words, this toy lives what it preaches.

It's a competitive price for this high quality and sturdy recycling truck so it makes an ideal toy for young kids and has an educational element too. Basically, this is an all-round great choice so don’t hesitate if you’re thinking of buying it.
