 (4.5 / 5.0) The sturdy green recycling truck from innovative toymakers Sprig is made of their trademarked "Stigwood" -- an eco-friendly composite of reclaimed wood and recycled plastic. Like other Sprig toys, it's not painted. Instead, it's dyed during the production process with safe pigments that have no heavy metals in them. This truck is good for the environment, and a joy to play with, too. A recycling bin is included that can be picked up and emptied into the truck, and there are plenty of other moving parts to keep children ages two and older entertained.

All the parts on this expertly crafted truck function well, from the big tires to the mechanism that empties the recycling bin. The Sprigwood material is durable and sturdy, and all the parts will stand up to rough play. The levers and knobs that control the truck's mechanisms are big and easy to grasp -- just the right size for a child's hand.<p>The truck is a cheerful green color flecked with bits of sawdust, which makes a nice change from the shiny, cheap plastic seen in so many toys today. The garbage can is the only small, detachable part, and it could get lost if kids don't pay attention.
Teaches Kids About Recycling
The truck can do everything a real recycling truck can do, including emptying a recycling bin into the back of the truck (The child does have to pick up and secure the bin to the truck). It can also dump all its contents when your child pulls on a lever. A bigger lever pulls the body of the truck back up so it can continue on to pick up more recycling. The truck moves smoothly when pushed. Kids will have so much fun playing with this lifelike truck that they'll naturally become curious about recycling.
About Sprig
Eco-conscious toymaker Sprig was born when three toy designers realized what an appalling effect traditional toy manufacturing had on the environment. After observing firsthand how toys got made, they understood that the process employed by the factories had a harmful impact on nearby air, soil, water, and plants. They were also disturbed by the emerging "watch-me" trend in electronic toys that encouraged kids to be more passive in their play. So in 2007, these three designers joined forces to create Sprig, which allowed them to build battery-free, eco-friendly, paint-free, kid-powered toys. <strong><br />
