Let\u2019s face it: beach toys get accidentally left behind and washed out to sea. That\u2019s why Zo\u00eb b Organic has created the world\u2019s first biodegradable beach toys<\/a>. Made from corn sugar, they\u2019ll be eaten by microbes and completely disappear in 2-3 years when submerged in marine environments, buried in soil, or composted (as opposed to ordinary plastic, which takes about 500 years).

Yet, while Zo\u00eb b Beach Toys were designed with Mother Nature in mind, the mom-owned company didn\u2019t forget about everyday mothers. The set includes a bucket with built-in handles that won\u2019t break off. A sifting lid with geometric cut-outs for learning shapes. Two cups for sand and water play. And one tough, virtually indestructible shovel.<\/p>\n

\"BildschirmfotoIt\u2019s all scaled for toddler-size hands and fits easily inside the bucket for carrying to the beach. In the off-season, the toys are great for the bathtub, and the bucket doubles as a container for crayons and toys. Plus Zo\u00eb b toys are BPA-free, and they’re made here in the USA.<\/p>\n

The Plastic Problem<\/h3>\n

FACT: Over 15 billion pounds of plastic are produced in the U.S. every year, but only 1 billion pounds are recycled.<\/p>\n

FACT: The average lifespan of a plastic bottle is about 500 years.<\/p>\n

FACT: At least 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals and sea turtles die when they entangle themselves in plastic pollution or ingest it.<\/p>\n

\"BildschirmfotoValerie Lecoeur, president and founder of Zo\u00eb b Organic, decided to tackle the problem right where she finds it every summer: \u201cAs a mother of three young children, it makes me sick to see the number of stray shovels and orphaned, plastic beach buckets washed up on the shore. Why not take the technology that\u2019s now available to us and make smarter beach toys that are healthier for our kids and our planet?\u201d<\/p>\n
