Environmentally curious children: toys that stir the 4 year olds imagination: greening a childhood

Castle Rock CO – December 17, 2008 - imaginechildhood.com has launched earth-friendly toys that develop environmentally curious children. By letting nature stir the imagination, inexhaustible 4 year olds can have endless fun into the evening hours.

“Our selection of toys helps children 4-9 years old imagine a field, a forest, a tree house, a castle, a kite, a treasure map, a rainy day, and a sunny afternoon through their own eyes, ears, fingers, and toes. Direct interaction with nature can green the childhood: let nature stir the imagination, then add in a lot of play. Open-ended imaginative play with toys that engender environmental awareness helps a child learn about how the world works, and what it could be,” notes Sarah Olmsted, CEO of imaginechildhood.com
