Our extensive range of natural toys includes high quality traditional wooden toys. All our wooden toys come from Europe and are manufactured from indigenous wood; trees your children can see in British woodland such as beech, alder, maple, ash and pine. All wood used is sustainably sourced.
Our wooden toys are either hand made or hand finished, making each one unique! Most of the toys are finished with a natural oil mix, leaving the child free to experience the real characteristics of the wood!
Our toys are developed with the intention of encouraging creative and imaginative play. Children's self-initiated creative play has been shown to be the most effective form of learning in early childhood. Free creative play provides the child with the opportunities for optimal growth on all levels- emotional, intellectual, social and physical.
So, let the children play! As parents and carers, we need to provide an environment where creative and imaginative play can flourish. With this in mind, we have selected the best creative playthings! The core of our range has remained unchanged for over 9 years now, many of them favourite playthings of our own children! Why wood is best for children's playthings More about creative play
