Have you heard of pickleball? It’s the latest craze in the world of sports, but did you know that it’s been around since the 1960’s? It was originally created as a backyard game for children, but has evolved into an indoor/outdoor sport for all ages. It’s a combination of tennis and ping pong that is enjoyed casually or competitively.

Did you know that @Green Toys are made from 100% recycled plastic?
From manufacturing to assembly, Green Toys are made 100% in the U.S.A. Since they are able to produce locally, they reduce greenhouse gasses, energy usage, and save on transportation. Using local supply chains allows stringent quality control and provides local jobs.
As of the writing of this post, they have recycled over 155 MILLION milk jugs... holy cow! Milk jugs may be the primary plastic found in Green Toys, but they occasionally use other recycled plastics as well (like yogurt cups!) which are cleaned, shredded into flakes, turned into raw material, and then mixed with food-safe coloring. By using recycled plastic they divert material from landfills, save on energy, and reduce their carbon footprint.
All Green Toys products are packaged in 100% recycled cardboard. No plastics, twist ties, cellophane wrappers, etc… If there’s concern for products falling out of the box, they use 100% recycled water bottles. Green Toys is the recipient of the prestigious Greener Packaging Award, which is the nation’s only independent sustainable packaging award.
Stop by Little Village if you’d like to see our selection of Green Toys & pop in to the book annex while you’re here if you’d like to see our Green Toys demo!
Twilight Masquerade, the latest Pokemon TCG set featuring 200+ new cards (including 50+ secret rares), has arrived at Little Village!
We also carry card sleeves, deck boxes, and binders to safely store and protect your collection.
"While something that very well may get covered in soil doesn’t have to be pretty, the raised flowers on this hardcover gardening journal makes it a centerpiece all on its own. The majority of the logbook is a plant log where you can keep notes on the conditions, progress, and maintenance of each species. Additionally, the logbook contains dotted pages for garden planning, planting tips, hardiness zones, and a pocket on the back cover to keep track of seed packets, stray notes, and more! One of my favorite parts is that there’s enough pages of the plant logs and the planning grids that you can reuse it for years to come." - Andi
