With more global efforts to live in a more sustainable world, giving your kids a toy that you feel good about letting them play with matters.

BiOBUDDi is a 100-percent recyclable line of building blocks made for kids 18 months and up. A pioneer in sustainable and eco-friendly toys, BiOBUDDi is committed to making a positive impact on the planet with these educational building blocks, manufactured in the Netherlands and distributed by SnapToys in the U.S.

You may be scratching your head and asking, “How the heck are these toys totally recyclable? Aren’t they usually plastic?” All BiOBUDDi construction sets are made of bio-based materials derived from sugarcane. How cool is that?

All packaging materials are also 100-percent green, and include fun stickers for customization and instructions with printed activities. All of the stickers need to be placed, so that’s an activity that parents can do along with their kids. The stickers blend in well with the white or vibrantly-colored blocks, and stuck really well—with no signs of peeling off anytime soon!

The educational line has more than 13 products ranging from alphabet and numbers to shapes, animals, and more, so kids will learn their basics as they play with their blocks. One of my favorites in the line is the Animals Learning set, which features adorable animals such as a penguin, a goat, a whale, a duck, an elephant, a turtle, and more! Of the 27 pieces, nine of them are colored and have four pegs to stack easily.

Each set comes with that crucial baseplate piece, which—quite literally—is the foundation of all of kids’ future engineering creations. Plus, all of the blocks are compatible with all major building set brands—so kids can add their their collections and get to learning and building all day long.

Each set also includes with a booklet that teaches kids about these bio-based building blocks. Kids can read along and see how their blocks are produced and how they’re making a positive impact on the environment, or parents can read along with young ones. It serves as a sweet learning opportunity. The booklet also comes with activities, such as coloring in animals, or matching the correct block with, reinforcing educational values.

BiOBUDDi products feature this quote from Albert Einstein: “We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.” It’s this kind of new thinking–starting from kids’ toys—that will help change the way we impact our planet.
