Your little nipper clamps down on everything from board books to key chains.

Before “not in the mouth!” becomes your mantra, invest in Green Toys’s latest collection for babies and toddlers. The Cole Valley-based company, known for its toxin-free goods, turns discarded plastic milk jugs into attractive plastic creations that meet FDA standards for food contact and are BPA, PVC, and phthalates free.

Choose from an innovative stacker (with easy-grasp knob built into each piece); a set of giant, Lego-like blocks; and a charming tugboat that doubles as a bath time shampoo rinser. The entire collection is not only earth friendly, but it’s safe for teethers and mouthers who can’t seem to resist the allure of brightly colored objects. 

Available online at shop.greentoys.com, $13-$25.
