Founded in 2007 by an award winning trio of toy veterans Sprig Toys set out to create toys that would inspire children’s imaginations, be responsibly manufactured and green. A tall order in the toy industry.
In a few short years they have made their mark. Winning prestigious awards like, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award 2009, Creative Toy Award from Creative Child Magazine, Dr. Toy’s 100 best toy products of 2008 and others. This company has had a busy few years!
Sprig toys are made from Sprigwood™ a proprietary bio-composite of recycled wood and reclaimed plastic. So it looks almost like a plastic toy, but not quite. They use Sprigwood™ to make an assortment of eco friedly toys that they have broken into Series:
Sprigwood is dishwasher safe on the top shelf, so their non electronic toys can get squeaky clean with a little help from one of my favorite kitchen appliances.
Eco-Trucks – Excavators, Dump Trucks, and loaders oh my. Playing in the sand and dirt is good clean fun with our affordable trucks.
Sprig Hallow – Join Bee & Butterfly and other characters on adventures in the sand, garden, or pool. Includes playsets, vehicles, and outdoor tools all in one!
Story Builders – allow children to build and tell their own stories. They are a complete building playset and classic storybook rolled together.
The Adventure Series – a world full of vehicles, characters, and animals to stimulate fun filled expeditions on both land and water.
They recently sent Little Diva and Dude The Dolphin Explorer Boat from their adventure series.
The set consists of:
2 boats – Explorer Boat (largest item in the set) and smaller Rescue Boat
1 Life Preserver
2 Dolphins – Mother and Baby
1 Adventure Guide – Captain Owen
1 Adventure Hat – Interchangeable!
1 Backpack Accessory
Little Diva exclaimed on seeing photos of the Dolphin Explorer set “dolphins are my most favorite ocean animal ever!!!” Picture the hands clasped over her chest. She was so excited when the actual package arrived.
When I opened the package for a sneak preview I was surprised to find the dolphin’s bottoms were hollowed out. But after observing it in action I can see how this helps them float. This also solves another common problem with toys that get water time… Mildew. We have had so many toys end up thrown out because they had been taken over by mildew. The open bottom of the dolphins enables for thorough cleaning.
The boat and dolphins float and their simple design allow your child’s imagination to dictate how they play with the set.
One Lucky Reader will win a Dolphin Explorer Boat, but if you just can’t wait find it on Amazon:
