PlanToys is a company that has been committed to sustainability and child development since its inception in 1981. Their founders recognized the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations, and they have made it their mission to produce well-designed toys that help enhance the development of children from 0 to 5 years old while nurturing their relationship with nature.
Here are 5 reasons why we love PlanToys, and you will too!
Play Safe
PlanToys is a company that is dedicated to creating safe toys. They use non-formaldehyde glue that is certified E-Zero formaldehyde-free glue and apply only organic color pigment and water-based dyes for all the products. This is safer than chemical dyes which contain lead or any other heavy metals. These considerations make the toys safe for children and environmentally friendly. Their toys meet stringent in-house standards and fulfill or exceed the European (EN71) and American (ASTM) safety requirements.
Unleash Creativity
PlanToys is a great brand for parents who want to encourage their children to unleash their imagination and creativity. With a wide range of toys that promote problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, their toys are a great investment for any child's development. Some of their most popular toys are in the PlanWorld series. Children can use these miniature towns and shops to create their own worlds and scenarios, promoting their imaginative play. The Miniature World series also helps children learn about spatial relationships and develop fine motor skills.
Another great series is the Pretend Play series. This collection includes toys that are designed to encourage children to engage in role-playing and imaginative play. Some examples of pretend play sets include the doctor's kit, baker’s set, and a tool set. By playing with these toys, children can develop their language and social skills, as well as their problem-solving abilities.
Learning Through Play
PlanToys believes that children learn best through play (and we agree!). Their toys are designed to provide a fun and engaging way for children to learn and grow. These thoughtfully designed toys are created to support various aspects of a child's growth, including physical, social and emotional, intellectual, and language development. Many of their toys are open-ended, which allows the play to evolve with the child's skills, making them ideal for households with children of different ages and a wise investment for years to come.
Next Level Sustainability
PlanToys has long been a leader in eco-friendly toy manufacturing. They stand by their commitment to sustainability by utilizing eco-friendly materials throughout their production processes. Their toys are crafted from sustainable materials like rubberwood and manufactured in a zero-waste facility. They achieve zero-waste through their revolutionary PlanWood, developed in collaboration with Price Songkla University in Thailand. PlanWood is created using the sawdust byproduct of their manufacturing process. They also use excess sawdust and wood as fuel for their machinery, resulting in a more environmentally-friendly approach to manufacturing.
A Kinder World
PlanToys also has a strong focus on social responsibility. They provide fair wages and safe working conditions for all of their employees and have implemented various programs to give back to their local community. They work to reduce the burden of workers’ expenses by allocating space within the factory to make vegetable gardens for consumption and sharing. They encourage knowledge and awareness among employees through organic rice planting activities with local farmers to understand the value of food and can also apply knowledge for their sustainable livelihood. They have numerous initiatives supporting local organizations and charities and promoting education and environmental awareness. With their commitment to both sustainability and social responsibility, PlanToys is setting a great example for other companies to follow.
Overall, PlanToys is a company that is leading the way in safe and eco-friendly toys for better play. They understand that their actions today will impact future generations, and they are dedicated to making that impact a positive one. Through their well-designed toys and their focus on sustainability, they're helping to create a better future for us all.
