It’s never too early to teach kids the importance of sustainability!

Earth Day is April 22nd,  and we are here to share some fabulous, enjoyable toys that are helping instill sustainability and eco-awareness for kids. These toys are either made from recycled and bio-based plastics and FSC-certified wood to toys made locally in the U.S. and those that encourage greener lifestyles. These toys can encourage kids to explore their own natural habitats and adopt more eco-friendly habits, while at the same time having fun!

FROM PLAYMOBIL 

Playmobil Cross-Country Vehicle with Lions

Sustainable WILTOPIA playset from PLAYMOBIL with veterinarian Dr. Jamie Palmer, a solar-powered cross-country vehicle as well as an injured lion and numerous extras.

Get to know and love the world with the sustainable WILTOPIA playsets from PLAYMOBIL. With the solar-powered off-road vehicle, even missions in the savannah are no problem for veterinarian Jamie Palmer and he can quickly help the injured lion. By gently rubbing, the predator’s injury disappears. In the new, removable roof attachment with tent is enough space for two figures to spend the night.

Get the extra knowledge

The Wiltopia web app offers additional audio and video content and takes children right into the animals’ habitat. Simply scan the QR code on the animal knowledge card and the detailed animal and plant world comes to your home. That’s entertaining knowledge transfer with fun and learning too.

Wiltopia – Wonderful for the environment

WILTOPIA is PLAYMOBIL’s first eco-friendly product line consisting of, on average, more than 80% sustainable materials. Discarded plastic waste is given a new life and serves as a source of material for this extraordinary play world. This conserves resources and, above all, the environment. Of course, all Wiltopia products meet the usual high safety standards and the proven PLAYMOBIL quality and durability.

 

There is plenty of space for all fresh products in the 24-hour self-service farm shop. Bottles can be bought at the bottle dispenser. The products purchased from the farm shop can be stored in the bicycle trailer.

In the Country Farm Store, customers can buy fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy products and beverages around the clock and at fair prices. The farmer harvests the vegetables fresh from the field and brings them directly to the farm store. On the shelves, the food can be neatly arranged and well presented. The PLAYMOBIL Country Farm Store invites children to slip into the role of farmers and shopkeepers and act out fun sales situations.
