These children’s toys are all made of cardboard.
I’m not an eco-freak. I don’t even consider myself green. I still toss plastic out with the trash. But I think that this series of "toys" is outrageous.
Remember playing with cardboard boxes when you were a kid? Making forts? That type of imagination is no longer necessary. Yes, these are corrugated boxes that have been engineered as play homes and furniture for kids to enjoy.
Here’s the fun part: the prices are in the $40-$50 range!
