Compared to most other toys, the ekolife range is made from 100% recyclable, renewable and biodegradable cardboard.
The toys include planes, cars, jigsaws, build-your-own shops and castles, as well as canvases.
ekolife general manager Morgan Webster said: “The ekolife toys have been designed to encourage children to use their imaginations and enjoy unplugged, traditional play in an increasingly digital, solitary world.
“Many parents we speak to feel guilty about buying more toys when they already have an attic or garage full of broken or unwanted plastic items that cannot be recycled. ekolife toys are designed to provide active and creative fun, encourage group play and at the end of their life, to go into a green bin.
