Our Mission
At Green Piñata, our mission is to become the leading provider in early education through play. We built our service on a strong foundation of insights from early education and child development specialists to deliver age-appropriate toys geared for learning at every stage.
In addition to our passion for toxin-free, educational toys, we strive to be as environmentally conscious as possible in order to give our children the best future possible. We have partnered with eco-conscious manufacturers, all of whom use sustainably-sourced wood or recycled plastic to make their products. Together, we help families go green and reduce their addition to the landfill. Once our toys have been loved by our customers, we donate them to children in need.
Our Story
I founded Green Piñata Toy Share in April 2015 as a response to my difficulty finding non-toxic, educational toys that my daughter Aanika wouldn’t grow bored of. Between the price tag of such toys and our limited space to store them, buying toys didn’t make much sense - we needed to rent!
At Green Piñata, we’ve built a scalable operation that delivers the highest quality toys to customers across the U.S. every month. Our custom technology and age-specific toy curriculum help us provide valuable insights, freedom of choice, and educated guidance on age-appropriate toys to encourage optimal learning - and of course, the most fun!
