The Greenest Rocking Horse Ever

For now, just a concept, but what a great way to harness your kid’s energy while they play. Rocco the Energy Pal is an entry in the Greener Gadgets design competition. Rocco teaches children about energy generation and conservation by converting kinetic energy created through rocking into electricity. The removable handles are a flashlight or a nightlight to stay up extra late – except, with all that rocking, they won’t be able to. Rocco 2.0 should include an iPod/phone charging adaptor under the mane.

They have a lot of votes, but need more to get to the top. You can see some other cool entries and vote for Rocco here.

This eco furniture is a great replacement for all that plastic stuff that ends up in a landfill. It’s made from the same material as egg cartons.

Created by a preschool teacher. Organic Fun Dough is an organic, totally non-toxic, toy. I like the look of this.

This tree toy is made of recycled cardboard. A great way to keep the plastic quotient down in your closet.

If you’re gonna drink your beverages out of a plastic bottle, then why not reuse that bottle for some construction fun? Y Water is totally organic, and comes in four flavors: Brain Water, Bone Water, Muscle Water, and Immune Water.
I could probably use a little of each. When you’re done, you can reuse the bottle as a toy. More.

Founder and father of two Thomas Arndt created the drinks with scientists at the Cornell Institute of Food Sciences and University of California because he wanted an alternative to the sugary drinks that dominate market shelves.

Hey , if your kids are really smart, they’ll be constructing full molecules in no time!

They will be available at Whole Foods and hundreds of other stores by the end of the summer. But they are available at a handful of NYC stores now.
