Toys that don't require batteries

Submitted by SereneAndNotHerd on October 29, 2007 - 14:53.

With a toddler, I too am experiencing the rise in battery use in my household. I was excited to see that you had a list of alternative options, but disappointed that really only the flashlight would be much fun for my two year old.

Can you make any suggestions of alternative energy toys that do things battery powered toys do without the battery requirement?

Meanwhile, don't fret too much. We have swapped to a wholly rechargable battery household, so much less landfill waste.
