Play Fair

Green Toys

Do cry over spilt milk.

Then the ecomagicians at Green Toys will have another empty milk carton to presto change-o into a super-fun toy.

They’ve already pulled a sand play set, tea set, and indoor gardening kit out of their hat. Crafted with 100 percent recycled materials, these safe, smart, and fun creations are made right in California, so they don’t need to travel far to make it to your backyard.

No magic wand required.

Available at Entertaining Elephants, 12053½ Ventura Place, between Radford Avenue and Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Studio City (818-766-9177 or entertainingelephants.com).
