I am so excited about this review and giveaway and I think you will be, too! I first learned about Sprig Toys at the ABC Kids Expo where I had the opportunity to meet one of the founders. What a pleasure – his enthusiasm was infectious and the dedication to making fabulous toys was obvious. Sprig Toys are kid-powered, earth-friendly toys that any kid is lucky to own.

About Sprig Toys

Adventure Series

The Adventure Series centers on the excursions of the Adventure Guide figures. Available in non-electronic (great for bath time fun) and kid-powered electronic toys, Adventure Series toys are rugged and built for fun. We received the Discover Rig and Rally Racer for review and Toddler Boy and I love them.

Discover Rig is the cornerstone of the Adventure Series and features the adventures of Cap Farady as he leads you through a safari. Rally Racer is the artic racing machine of Rudi Tootin.

Favorite Features

There a lot of information and details of our experience in the video review, but here are some of my favorite features.

• Sprig Toys are made of Sprigwood, an earth-friendly, durable and child-safe product made of reclaimed plastic and wood chips. The toys even smell like wood! Dyed during production, Sprig Toys don’t contain paints or dangerous chemicals.
• Every detail and lack thereof is very deliberate to encourage imagination. For example, the Adventure Guides don’t have facial features leaving them up to the mind of playing children. I also really appreciate that the Adventure Guides aren’t classified as male or female so girls can create their own adventures without limitation. All the Adventure Guides work in all the toys for mix and match  play and can be purchased separately.
• Kid-powered. No batteries required for these active toys designed to encourage your little ones to get moving.
• Earth-friendly packaging. Sprig Toys arrive in simple, recyclable cardboard boxes. No styrofoam, unnecessary (and annoying) packaging.
• Many toys are recommended for ages 3 and up and my nearly 3 year old is the perfect age, and I think he’ll enjoy them for many years.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… I am a big fan of Sprig Toys – truly unique, high quality and thoughtful toys. I just *love* them, and so does Toddler Boy. I love that they are eco-friendly, and the lack of batteries makes them pretty parent-friendly, too. Toddler Boy loves that the toys are rugged and that with his effort the Discover Rig tells a story.

Or Not to Buy… Sprig Toys are a tad more expensive than other gifts on your Christmas list, but they are worth the price tag.

Shop! Head over to Sprig Toys to see and buy the entire collection of toys. The Sprig Toy Store on Amazon has some *great* prices right now, like the Discover Rig for only $36.58 (normally $60) and the Rally Racer for $19 (normally $29).

Win! A Discover Rig and Rally Racer for your little adventurer!
