It is unfortunate but very true! Toxins such as PVC, Phthalate, BPA, Lead, etc found in toys (especially the ones with bendable plastics) have been linked to cancer, learning disabilities, kidney disease, bone fragility, and behavioral complexities. These chemicals enter the child's body when they put the toys in their mouth or even through skin contact. Young children under 5 years are known to be particularly vulnerable to the dangerous effects of these toxins, especially since their systems and organs are still developing. Green Piñata endeavors to provide toys without ever risking safety.

Toys in your Piñata:
You will receive 3-4 toys in each shipment. The number of toys received in each shipment depends on the average value of the shipment (i.e ~$100 of average retail value), the age of the child and the size of the toys. You will also notice that older the child gets, larger the size of each toy received and hence it is very likely that the number of toys received is 3 or 4 for ages greater than 3.
