Plan Toys: A Different Kind of Toy Company

By Tania Reuben

Plan Toys is one of a handful of green companies in the toy business.  They make high quality toys that will inspire creativity in your child from birth through to about six years of age.  As a parent, when your child plays with Plan Toys you can have confidence the toys are safe in all the ways that matter.

Last year we wanted to buy a Parking Garage for Lil’ Dude, after great deliberation we settled on the Plan Toys Parking Garage.  This was a more expensive choice, but all the other brands seemed poorly made, and most were made of plastic.

The Plan Toys Garage is classic.  It has a working elevator and in the past year it’s survived the wear and tear of my two children and it still looks as good as new.  It’s nice to know this toy will have a life in the future with another family.

One of the pegs that holds the ramp in place on fell off, a quick email to customer service and they were on it – no questions asked – just where can we send the part.

Plan toys are made from recycled wood.  Rubber wood is planted to produce latex, typically when it’s finished producing latex the wood is burned. Not if it’s going to become a Plan Toy!

The Rubber Wood destined to become a Plan Toy isn’t fertilized for the last 3 years of growth to ensure that it’s toxin free. Then the wood is kiln dried without the use of chemicals.

The toys are assembled using E-Zero glue this replaces traditionally toxic wood glue.  Then Plan Toys are decorated using Non Toxic Water based dyes.

You probably still won’t want your children chewing on their toys, but at least when they do gnaw a little, you’ll have peace of mind.

As you make toy purchasing decisions for your family, consider the merits of spending a little more, buying a little less, and taking care of what you have so it can be passed along to friends and family for years to come.  Plan Toys makes that kind of toy.
