Wooden Toys

As a parent, you will know that not all toys are created equal. Simple toys are often the best and the most durable compared to elaborate, expensive brands with all the bells and whistles that can easily break. Even with our eco-friendly wooden kid toys, we still ensure that we bring you the best quality. Therefore, we only stock the best brands:

• Hess Spielzeug Gunter Hess made these “Spielzeug” (playthings) by hand in the 1990s, and today the German quality and precision are still evident in these handmade toys. All toys are still handcrafted in Germany and made from native trees such as maple and beech, using environmentally friendly processes and materials. The brand has a distinctive look and feel, using blue and pink pastel colours and natural wood to create toys such as teethers, clips, rattles and pram hangers that will entertain little hands for hours.
• Nature Bubz We just love the Nature Bubz eco wildflower teether. The combination of silicone beads and beech wood makes for a non-toxic, naturally antibacterial, durable chew toy that your child will love. It meets all the AS/NZS 8124 safety standards for toys for under 36 months.
• Qtoys They bring you the traditional wooden boys’ toys you might expect, such as a train, bulldozer, bus, motorbike, and a racing car in the classic wooden toy style. They also have counting toys and puzzles moving away from the trendy toys. What especially fascinates us is the bamboo shaker. Made from plantation timber, the toy is non-toxic and helps young tots understand the concept of gravity. At the same time, it makes a fun sound that could be used during music therapy for teaching rhythm.
• Wooden Ride-on and Walkers Toddlers are usually happy in a walker between the ages of four and 16 months, provided their feet reach the floor comfortably. From 12 months onward, toddlers will delight in a wooden ride-on toy, and we have beautiful options.

We stock eco-friendly toys that will develop each aspect of your baby’s brain, including wooden walkers and ride-ons, puzzles, stacking toys, baby wooden blocks, counting boards, building blocks, and even the old-school abacus.

Perhaps you thought that ethical toys only mean they’re good for the environment. However, you should know that our dolls in Australia are made according to Fair Trade rules, meaning that workers are paid better than in the mass market. It also includes better working conditions and Fair Trade for suppliers, meaning toymakers can set their own hours, prices and environment they want to work.

We also use “eco-friendly and organic” to specify practices and materials used, so you fully understand what product you’re buying and the process followed to make it.

• Organic Dolls Our rag dolls are made from 100% organic cotton and take playing back to traditional days before the digital age absorbed young minds. You can dress and undress the organic toys, choose from different races and genders and rest assured that even the packaging is made from 100% recycled paper printed with soy ink.
• Dummies. The natural dummies that we stock are pure, natural rubber. Made in Italy, the dummies meet EU health, safety, and environmental standards. They don’t contain artificial colourants, chemicals, parabens or allergy-causing substances, and it’s safe for your baby.
• Organic Cotton Swaddles Our swaddles and muslin wraps are the best material you’ll want to come in contact with your baby’s sensitive skin. Seeing a rash on your newborn is not a sight any new mom wants to see. Wrapping your baby in organic cotton means their skin can breathe and keep them at a comfortable temperature. We also stock a festive bamboo swaddle made of 70% bamboo and 30% cotton, and it even has a matching turban you can buy with the same robins, pine cones and holly sprigs so everyone can feel the festive spirit (knowing or unknowingly).
• Eco Nappies Disposable plastic nappies contribute significantly to non-recyclable landfill waste and contain harmful chemicals. However, our Tooshies Bamboo nappies in sizes for newborns to toddlers have the environment at heart. They have a 100% biodegradable back sheet plus a composite bamboo core that is also biodegradable.

For a product to be certified organic, eco-friendly or fair trade, it must meet specific and strict requirements. We make sure that we adhere to every obligation to reassure you that we’re serious about bringing you the most comprehensive natural and organic products for mom, tot, and baby.
