Plan Toys Factory Tour

a d Several of the students and their host families had the unique opportunity to tour the Plan Toys Factory in Trang. Plan Toys is a considered a green company and factory given its environmentally friendly approach to manufacturing its wonderful toys. The toys are all made out of wood from used rubber trees in the area. Trang is full of rubber tree plantations, and once the trees no longer produce any sap, the trees are discarded. Plan Toys takes these trees and makes a wide variety of developmentally appropriate toys for children young and old alike. 

The tour included a visit to the factory's Toy Museum, which includes dozens of fun hands-on exhibits. The museum made some of us feel old as we recognized several of the toys from our own childhoods!

After the museum, we were taken to the factory floor and got to see the entire process from the cutting of the raw wood to the packaging of the final product. Several left after visiting the factory store to buy toys for the little ones back at home!
