Bamboo Toys - Traditional Wooden, Educational Toys and Gifts

At ecoboo we all share the philosophy; we need to make changes in our lives, to secure a future for our children.

Bamboo is a grass, not a wood, it has an extensive root system that continues to replenish itself continually sending up new shoots. It is re-harvestable every 3 to 5 years, making it one of the most renewable resources in the world. It’s harder than maple, lighter than oak and can be as strong as steel.

The Ecoboo range has been developed with the intention of educating children through play, and educating parents about the depletion of the world’s tropical forests.

Around the world our rainforests are being depleted, satellite images have revealed that an area of approximately 5800 sq miles of the Amazon rainforest is burnt or cleared each year to make way for cattle ranching, farming or other development.

To put this into perspective, an area ¾ the size of Wales is being lost every year, this is nearly 16 sq. miles every day.

Most companies are now using FSC approved wood. However, the Forestry Stewardship Council re-planting schemes are taking 30 - 60 years for those trees to grow into a re-harvestable resource.

Bamboo holds the promise to be a sustainable, cost effective and ecological alternative to the widespread cutting of our forests.

Choosing bamboo will make a difference; it's your choice...their future.
