Planning a party?… Here are some party ideas for children

Monday, April 5th, 2010

Here it comes again…your child’s birthday.  Which is a fabulous milestone to celebrate however, it also comes with a lot of planning and creativity.

All this pressure but as always there is somewhere, something on the Internet which a parent who feels the same as you has created just the right thing to get you out of a muddle. Green Owl Toys has found just that party box to create the party that will run smoothly and filled with lots of laughter.  There are even 3 different themes to choose from! The Circus, The Enchanted Kingdom Party and the Superhero Party.

Try it out! It has all the checklists, plenty of different ideas for games and to liven up the party. The games are set to the theme of the party box you choose. The games awaken the imagination of children and the innocent nature they have to laugh, giggle and have fun.  The Party boxes even include party bags to go home with! Just add a bit of the goodies that were left over from the table and hey presto! The party is rounded up with a neat little bow and not an expensive entertainer in sight.

Bank the Green Dividend

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

The Sunday Times Green List is the benchmark against which businesses can test their green credentials. For the bosses of Britain’s companies the ticket to green credibility comes only if the staff are included on the journey. The contest not only measures efforts to cut the corporate carbon fooftprint, it also seeks employees’ views on how green their company is.  The top 60 green companies of 2009 ranged from blue-chip multinationals to construction companies with a high environmental impact.

Although Green Owl Toys is too small to enter such a competition, we are definately following suite by cutting our carbon footprint. We only import toys from within the EU and all our products are made of natural materials.

The toys are either made of wood, cotton or leather.  These are all materials that are long lasting and a pleasure to touch.  Parents enjoy the thought that our children are enveloped in natural products and not the touch of cold plastic.

By importing these beautiful toys from the EU the company not only minimise the carbon footprint but we can also ensure their safety.  The toys all have passed safety control tests set out by leading European Laboratries.
