It’s not often you can say everything about a toy is sustainable. I’ve noticed since I’ve started trying to make more eco friendly decisions, that most things come with a compromise. Amazingly, the new Eco Plush range from Character is an Earth friendly toy.
The toys themselves are made of 100% recycled material – the fabric outer area, thread, and the soft, squishy filling are all made from plastic bottles. The packaging is also fully recyclable – made from FSC certified paper, meaning these toys aren’t just cute and cuddly, they’re great for the planet too!
All About the Eco Plush Range
As I’ve already mentioned, this range is super sustainable and kind to our planet. They’re soft and cuddly, and suitable for children aged 18 months and over, which is perfect for our little two-year-old. Preschoolers can now get their hands on their favourite characters to cuddle up to and play with.
Available from most leading toy sellers, such as The Entertainer, Smyths, supermarkets and online retailers, prices start from £9.99. They’re out now, so see if you can spot your household faves!
Your little one can now get their hands on characters from CoComelon, Blippi, Barney, Teletubbies, and My Little Pony, as well as Peppa Pig!
Eco Plush Teletubbies
In case you hadn’t guessed, we received some Eco Plush Teletubbies to put to the test. Orlaith is quite possibly the world’s biggest Teletubbies fan and was thrilled to be a resident toy tester.
One thing I noticed straight away is just how soft and snuggly they are, it amazes me that they were once plastic bottles! They’re the perfect cuddly toy for little ones – soft enough to take to bed, ideal cuddling size (eight inches high), and brightly coloured to look exactly like who they’re supposed to.
The features are stitched on, so there are no small parts that can come off. Each toy also has a leaf logo stitched on to signify it’s an eco-friendly choice.
We’ve had hours of fun with our cuddly plush Teletubbies and I’m certain there’ll be hours more. Orlaith is a little young to understand the concepts around recycling and being kind to our planet, but I think these will be a good conversation starter when she’s a bit bigger.
Using any opportunity you can to talk about being eco friendly is always a good idea. It’s National Earth Day on the 22nd April and I’ll be using this as a conversation starter with my older children. My 7 year old already helps crush down the cardboard recycling, and talks about what he learns at school. If I can start Orlaith young too, I’ll have some very eco-conscious kids on my hands.
