Unpacked a toy lately? Did you notice the amount of paper and plastic that makes up the packaging - left unused and tossed to the garbage (or used by your kid for an "arts project" and then tossed to the garbage)?
Tube Toys, designer Oscar Diaz' collection, tackles this problem with a clever solution: the tubular package becomes the body of the of the assembled toy - in Diaz' case, a colorful, sleekly designed toy vehicle (car, tractor, train or truck). We loved the end result, which is a sure-to-please toy for toddlers and a flattering decoration for any playroom. And, hey: an engaging toy for toddlers that's also sustainable? We're game!
