Earth Day is this Wednesday, and so I thought I'd give you my list of toys that teach kids what it means to live (and play) “cleaner.” This list originally appeared on Nickelodeon's Parentsconnect website. Go green...Kapla Blocks
This quality wooden building toy is made of pine blocks from renewable forests and offers open-ended play so kids can explore and expand their creativity. Throw a block party!

Dynacar
Batteries Not Included… OR NEEDED! This Dynacar comes with unbreakable headlights, “high-beam” LED lights, and 6 realistic car sounds – all “kid-powered.” Kids turn the ingenious, foldaway crank arm to charge the dynamo engine for hours of supercharged fun!

BagGammon Game
“Fun is in the Bag” and so are full-sized, fold out, fabric boards in this portable “BagGammon” game. No wasteful packaging and the patent-pending board/bag design makes cleanup a breeze. This one I liked to much I helped the inventor license it to Imagination Games.
