The Tube Toys are a unique set of playthings for children that teach them the value of imagination as well as environmentally conscious creations. The Tube Toys are a series of fun vehicles that are assembled using the packaging that it comes in. The tube that stores the smaller parts such as stickers and wheels become the body of the vehicle, hence the name.
Conceived by London-based designer Oscar Diaz, the Tube Toys are a great alternative to traditional toys. They form a car, fire engine, train or tractor, which both boys and girls would love to play with. All the materials are either recycled or recyclable.
The Tube Toys were unveiled during the New York International Gift Fair.
