Our toy recommendation engine individually tailors and optimizes toys to engage and develop each child. This is a unique differentiator in the industry
When my daughter was 8 months old, my husband and I were very excited about shopping for toys for her. At the time I had no idea that 85% of our brains develop by the time we are age 5! We were paying several hundred dollars on toys that she only played with for a few days. The clutter from unused toys drove me crazy and we were always running out of storage space. I soon realized I was not alone and bam Green Pinata Toys was born. Play time should be more about having fun together and less about stressing over wastage and clutter.
My team and I are very proud and passionate about building Green Piñata because of two main reasons. 1. We are solving real problem for parents - we help save money, reduce clutter from unused toys, we nurture early learning in children and we offer convenience. 2. we are doing something good for the earth - we help reduce landfill - most plastic toys are not recyclable. The Green Piñata toys are eco friendly, sustainably sourced and we teach the young generation to share and reuse. Most importantly, my team that brings passion and all the right skills necessary to make this business successful and they keep me going!
Fostering learning through play
We built our service on a strong foundation of insights from early education and child development specialists to deliver age-appropriate toys geared for learning at every stage.
We care for our earth
We strive to be as environmentally conscious as possible in order to give our children the best future possible. We have partnered with eco-conscious manufacturers, all of whom use sustainably-sourced wood or recycled plastic to make their products.Together, we help families go green and reduce their addition to the landfill.
We donate toys to children in need
Once our toys have been loved by our customers, we donate them to children in need.
Green Piñata is WAY ahead of others that are seeking to get an early lead on building a customer base of millennial parents with massive intelligence. We own the ‘play to learn’ market and our power is in the analytics and being able to be the trusted source. Wish you had discovered RentTheRunway? Here is your chance. Come, join us!

It's a truly great idea! I thought vaguely about this a few years ago while wining about how many things we buy, hardly use, and just throw in the trash, and asked why so many little or even highly used items can't just be traded or reused by others!

The importance of children stimulating their prefrontal cortex throughout their childhood is important. Toys are a big part of a developing brain.
