Green Toys Tool Set

Bought this tool set for my son after he showed some major interest in my tool set. We've had it for a couple of months now.
Here are the pros:
-Very sturdy build. I know they look kind of flimsy in the pictures, but in reality the recycled plastic toys are not going to break or wear out in my life time. The plastic actually gives a little when strained, which I like for little hands and the safety of my furniture.
-Realistic look and feel. The pliers, screw drivers, wrenches, nuts, and screws all work perfectly and interchangeably with each other. The hammer, nails and tool box work well for getting out toddler aggression and the tightness of the nails into the tool box is just perfect for our toddler to be challenged and successful.
-Nice price for what you get, and glad to be "green" while doing it.

After reading Anatole and the Toyshop, my daughter became obsessed with being a "carpenter mouse" and found she just had to have a tool set. So, she sold her old boring toys and saved her allowance, and we went searching for the perfect one. We were both thrilled to find this one by Green Toys.

Green Toys, for those unfamiliar, is a California-based company who manufactures all of their toys from recycled milk cartons --- In the USA! This means that all their toys are made from stable, safe high-density polyethylene, and don't have (or need) any scary surface paints. As a mom, this makes me so happy I could dance!

The toy itself is pretty cool from a kid-perspective too. It comes with a couple screwdrivers, two nails, two screws, two blue doohickeys that can attach one piece to another, two nuts, a saw, pliers,...Read more

Love that it is made in USA, and the recycled & recycleable plastic. The packaging was adorable when it arrived. The toolbox is cute & my young 3-yr old son immediately loved it & said he was "Alpha Pig" (from Super Why on PBS)

Problem, there's not much to do with it. I wish a couple of the holes had been threaded, so toddler could practice using the screwdrivers. Instead have to master the double concept of using the nuts with the bolts first. And by then, I don't think he'll care, because there isn't anything you can put together w/this. Will have to find out if it can interact w/any other toys. None that I know of right now.
