They have done some creative things with card and paper that I have found pretty clever while staying sustainable.

My kids loved the little slot together dinosaurs we had for Jurassic World, they still have them on their bookshelves in their rooms. Also really liked the metal tins of (I think) DC characters with the Memory cards that they use for little keepsakes now. Besides that they’ve not really been interested in McDonald’s or their toys.

I'd rather they just get rid of the paper stuff too as its just not the same as a plastic toy.

I mean let’s be fair, we shouldn’t be bringing our kids there full stop. 😂

There's some pretty clever stuff being done with moulded pulp. I could see it being as good as plastic from a modelmaking/strength perspective in a couple of years, if the pressure to reduce plastic in toys continues.
