If you have children watching television in your home, they are probably watching a lot of ads for plastic action figures and other toys. I knew a full grown man who owned every single Transformer that had been sold at that time. It may be pretty hard for you to sell your children on something as environmentally friendly as a Corn Husk Doll.
Maybe if you are really creative, you could make some hard sell commercials for corn husk dolls and pay to air them on Saturday morning. Maybe not.
What I want to get across is that your kids aren’t begging you to buy them plastic. The hunks of multicolored plastic are just props for imaginative play. If you want to have happy kids and still reduce your plastic use, why not steer them towards paper card based games?
I have witnessed children creating these kind of games from scratch, complete with complex rules and point systems.
There are also fresh air, sunshine and physical activity as alternatives to buying and playing with plastic toys.
