It's never too early to teach your child about recycling! The educational recycling truck has four parts and includes colorful flash cards with easy to grasp ideas about recycling. A teacher or parent can discuss how the truck is made while passing around parts of the truck. When the lesson is over, the students can assemble the parts into a working truck, which reinforces the positive message about recycle, re-use and renew.

The sustainable packaging made of recycled cardboard doubles as a storage container (win/win!).

From the maker:

Luke's Toy Factory manufactures educational preschool toys that are sustainably made and fun to play with! Designed with a simple, old school wooden style, all toys are 100% made in the U.S. with with locally sourced materials. Luke has designed our toys to be 3D stacking puzzles with parts that mix and match. Slight wiggle room means that kids aged three and up, are encouraged to develop their problem solving, creative play, and fine-motor skills without getting frustrated. Our award-winning, sustainable toys are made with maple sawdust reclaimed from U.S. furniture manufacturers. By incorporating sawdust we are able to use 30% less plastic than traditional plastic toys, and instead of being incinerated the sawdust is given a second life, resulting in robust, durable toys. Colors are molded in, not painted on, so there's nothing to flake off. Our toys meet or exceed all U.S safety standards. There are no heavy metals, phthalates or BPA in any of our toys. We are a small, family owned & operated business based in Danbury, CT. Luke's Toy Factory is a 2019 recipient of Learning Magazine's prestigious 'Teachers' Choice Award' in the preschool category.
