Zoë b Organic Biodegradable Beach Toys, 18 Months
We started by designing toddler beach toys the way a mom would design them—because, well, a mom did design them. That means a bucket with built-in handles that won’t break off; a lid with geometric cut-outs for sifting and learning shapes; 2 cups for sand and water play; and one virtually indestructible shovel. It all fits easily inside the bucket for carrying to the beach. And in the off-season, they’re great for the bathtub—plus the bucket doubles as a container for crayons and toys.We’re proud to say that Zoë b Biodegradable Beach Toys are made in the USA, not China. And they’re unlike any other beach toys in the world. Though just as tough as regular plastic, they’re made with Mirel™ bioplastic from corn. That means no BPA, phthalates, or PVC. And if they get accidentally left on the beach and washed out to sea, they’ll completely biodegrade in 2-3 years (same results in fresh water, compost, or buried in soil). Regular, petroleum-based plastic takes around 500 years to break down—and even then, it just breaks into tiny bits that get ingested by marine animals. Call us crazy, but at Zoë b, we believe beach toys are for playing—not killing thousands of birds and sea turtles. Why not buy the only beach toys on the planet where the toys disappear, instead of the wildlife around them?
