Sustainable kids' meal 'toy'

So we went to Burgerville for lunch yesterday. Burgerville is a northwest chain that prides itself on sustainability and using local ingredients, like hazelnuts, berries and Walla Walla onions. I am fond of their white bean and basil burger. The kids meals always come with something a little more interesting than the standard plastic toy, for instance, this time of year their meals come with a seed packet. Our boys ended up with sunflowers and purple basil. Once we got home they started planting.

He loved touching and comparing the colors and sizes of the seeds.

And to top it off the seed packet states a double whammy on the back. The packaging is "made from 100% pre and post consumer recycled paper printed with soy-based inks" and the "seeds are heirloom (non-GMO), open pollinated and are not processed or treated with any chemicals."  Very cool!
