Geared for Imagination's 'Topozoo' is an Imaginative Eco Play Set

— August 28, 2010 — Eco
Geared for Imagination has recently released their Topozoo collection which is an eco play set made of recycled wood and non-toxic paint stains. The creatures come in different categories: safari animals, monsters or dinosaurs. Each set comes with 15 pieces that your child can use to create his or her own animals.

With Geared for Imagination's Topozoo, the possibilities of creating different imaginative animals are endless.

Implications - The environmental movement is moving into the next generation, with toys and products catered towards children that reflect a global desire to reduce carbon footprints. Though children at a young age may not be concerned with this movement quite yet, parents are looking to promote these eco products to their children in hopes they will follow suit in the green movement when they're older.
Trend Themes
1. Eco Play Sets - The rise of eco play sets made from recycled materials and non-toxic substances presents an opportunity for companies to capture the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally-friendly children's toys.
2. Imaginative Animal Creation - The trend of toys that encourage children to use their imagination and create unique animals opens up opportunities for companies to develop innovative play sets that foster creativity and storytelling.
3. Parental Influence on Green Living - The increasing desire of parents to promote eco-friendly products to their children highlights the potential for businesses to develop environmentally-conscious toys that cater to parental values.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Manufacturing - Companies in the toy manufacturing industry can explore the production of eco play sets using recycled materials and non-toxic substances, tapping into the growing demand for sustainable and safe toys.
2. Education and Learning - The sector of education and learning can leverage the trend of imaginative animal creation to develop educational play sets that combine creativity and interactive learning, enhancing children's cognitive development.
3. Environmental Conservation - Organizations focused on environmental conservation can collaborate with toy manufacturers to create eco-friendly play sets and promote the importance of sustainability to children, fostering a greener mindset from an early age.
