Well Designed Toys

Yeah, my first thought was that they looked cheap and were relying on the “green” marketing. But then as I opened the package and examined the toy I saw that they were pretty well made and somebody spent a lot of time 3D modeling all the surfaces just right. The simplicity of the toys and packaging as well as the attention to detail makes them great toys.

Packaging is another nightmare. I now have dedicated pliers, scissors and screwdrivers just for opening toy packages and replacing batteries. They now use wires, clear invisible rubber bands, tape, hard plastic cam locking features, you name it. It’s awful struggling with a package and having a 2 and 5 year old waiting next to you until you finish.

The green toys packaging is great. Simple folded box. No color printing or inserts or stickers. Just a straight forward box. Here another cool one.
