Green Toys Rocket with Blue Top

When I saw that Green Toys had came out with a Rocketship, I was so excited and knew I had to have it for my almost three year old son who is fascinated by outer space. I purchase wooden toys almost exclusively for my kids, with the exception being Green Toys, since they're made 100% of recycled milk cartons AND they're made in the USA. I feel very safe having my kids play with them since they don't contain any lead, BPA or phthalates. They require no batteries, and therefore are powered by your child's imagination. The durability of them is incredible, which is a must if you have a toddler like mine who can be hard on his toys, and they're even dishwasher safe! We started with the Green Toys Tugboat, and have since purchased this Rocketship, Tractor, Fire Truck, Pots and Pans set, Tea set, Airplane, School Bus, and Dump Truck. The quality, durability, and play value of them all is equal. Everything is sized nicely - not too small, but not a huge, ugly hunk of plastic either (that you then have to figure where on earth you're going to store!). These toys actually look nice on display on my toy storage cube in the living room, alongside the wooden ones. They have a retro feel to them which I just love! At any rate, I purchased the Rocket shortly before my second child was due to be born, and decided to give it to my son as a "gift" from his new sister upon her delivery. He absolutely loved it! It instantly became his favorite toy and after a month and half and Christmas which brought many other new toys, it remains his favorite and is probably the only toy he plays with every single day. He pretends to blast it into the air and fly it around, saying he's going to space to see the planets. If he can't find it, he gets upset and asks where his "space rocket" is. The astronauts it came with are awesome and definitely add play value. My son likes to put them in and out of the Rocket, hide them in places like my shoes, and also has them ride on and climb the ladder of his Green Toys Fire Truck. I love seeing him using his imagination! This is our favorite Green Toy! Seeing the fun my son has with it has been worth every penny.
