Let's rewind to way, way back…all the way back to 2022! Have you forgotten it already!?
At The Playful Peacock, we love to reflect just as much as we love getting excited about what's in store ahead. We think it's a great exercise and encourage you to consider your top moments of 2022 too, it's never too late!
Trending Toys of 2022
As The Playful Peacock is dedicated to creating a positive and sustainable impact on our Earth, we were ecstatic to see a shift in the toy industry towards a serious commitment to going green in 2022. We noticed that it is no longer “trendy,” but becoming an inherent part of the toy industry as parents demand high-quality items for their little ones.
Some 2022 wins to applaud:
MGA Entertainment’s L.O.L. Surprise! debuted new packaging made from bamboo, wood, and sugar cane.
PLAYMOBIL Wiltopia was named Toy of Year in the 2022 Toy world category which is the companies first sustainably made toy, with 80% sustainable materials.
Mattel’s Mega Bloks Green Town became certifiably carbon neutral.
After all, we all share Planet Earth and it's great to see these bigger corporations making a change for the good.
