Helping the environment

Here at TheToyShop.com, we care about the environment and we're doing our bit to cut down on unnecessary waste.

Why we recycle boxes

Every week we unpack lots of packages from toy factories, leaving our warehouse piled high with empty cardboard boxes. But rather than see them wasted, we've pledged to reuse as many as we can.

This means when you order a toy from us it might arrive in a recycled box, which is great for everyone because:

• Your items are delivered in stronger packages
• We produce less waste
• Fewer trees are chopped down

Look out for a green recycling sticker on your box - that way you know it's helping the environment.

Teaching kids about recycling

The recycling process doesn't have to end when you receive your toys - you can reuse your box for all sorts of things. Here are our favourite ideas:

• Decorate the sides and store toys inside
• Make a robot costume by cutting out holes for your arms and head
• Cut out windows and doors to create a fort
• Stuff a pillow inside to make a cosy bed for your favourite doll
• Transform it into a snazzy Rolobox
