Planet Pixies eco-conscious organic dolls

New York, NY – The newest concept from Toyland to living a greener life are the Planet Pixies– three clever little creatures who offer simple steps to children (as young as 3) to make their own eco-friendly decisions, thus saving the planet for future pixies and people.

That’s the goal of one new toy company, I Love My Planet Toys, with serious aspirations — offering planet-friendly toys that educate children, encourage them to use their imaginations and provide knowledge to help make eco-conscious decisions. The organic dolls are the first launch for the New York-based company. As their Web site (www.ilovemyplanettoys.com) proudly states, “We are committed to making high quality products using materials and processes that show respect for our planet and the people involved.”

The toy world has taken notice of I Love My Planet Toys as organic products continue to be in high demand. Couple the Pixie’s emphasis on green, socially-conscious living with their reasonable price and it’s no wonder online giants Amazon.com, Target.com, ToysRUs.com and specialty stores and e-tailers like FAO Schwarz are jumping to offer the line on their Web sites and in boutiques.

Each Pixie comes from a different endangered zone of the globe– the Amazon Rain Forest, the Arctic Ocean and the Florida Everglades. I Love My Planet Toys have cleverly packaged age-appropriate information about the Pixies homeland and the very real dangers they face. Eco-tips are provided that children ages 3 and up (and their caregivers) can learn to help save the planet.

The Planet Pixies were initially designed to encourage little girls to think about ways to save the planet. The doll set includes tips for recycling and taking care of the forest, the marshes and the North Pole where the Pixies’ homes are in danger of disappearing. Each Planet Pixie is made from certified organic cotton and natural materials. Even their boxes are made of 100% post-consumer recycled cardboard.

As children adopt their Planet Pixies and read the information that arrives with each doll, they can also turn to the special Web site, www.planetpixies.com, for specific ways to be environmentally friendly.

Youngsters will learn about the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Or discover easy-to-do solutions such as saving water at home by turning off the faucet while brushing teeth or washing hands.
