Go Green with Radio Flyer

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

We recycle in our home and have been for many years. Recently my children asked me why we put certain things in our “other” trash can. I explained recycling to them and then I wondered what exactly is our recycled material made into? I wanted to find out for my kids as well as for myself. I found many things on my travels that are tagged with “made with recyclable plastics” and I feel great about not only buying those items but my recycling efforts!

Now the little red wagon has “gone green” too! This is a green radio Flyer. This great wagon is made from 100% recycled post-consumer HDPE (plastic milk jugs). Over 230 milk jugs were diverted from landfills to make each Earth Wagon. The green and tan colors are infused throughout the boards so color won’t scratch off and painting is never needed.

Inchworm

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

My Children each had a ride on and they loved them, but I didn’t. The thing I didn’t like about them is the same problem all parents have with toys, they were too loud with obnoxious noises and songs.

This radio flyer inchworm is adorable though! It is for ages 2-5 and it weighs only 8lbs. Bounce up and down to make The Inchworm go.
Most store have this available later this summer, but www.redwagons.com has it available to ship now.
Better yet? No noise!
