You want to provide your kiddo with the tools they need to thrive, but also keep it real, because let's face it, raising kids never strictly adheres to the script. All of our toys are curated by an early childhood development expert and mother of four littles. Our parenting and development philosphy is influenced by Maria Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia, but we don't try to pretend one method is right for everyone. With over 20 years experience, we've seen it in the field and then at home. Empower your child with the tools that will help with development, but also spark their interest and most importantly, are super fun!
What is so great about wooden toys?
Wooden toys are safer for your child. They are less likely to crack or break, and the natural dyes and paints used on our products have been tested to be safe.
Go Green! 90% of toys are plastic and 75% end up in landfills within 3 months.
Our purchasing decisions go beyond the "eco-friendly" label and we work hard to avoide green-washed brands. From materials to packaging to shipping, we are constantly working to improve our carbon footprint.
Wooden toys are durable! Our curated selection of hand-made wooden toys are built to last! We have tested many of the toys and all of the brands we carry. Most items we carry have lasted all four of our own children and are in great condition to pass down to multiple generations.
Wooden toys support child development. Flashing and noisey plastic are made to grab attention, but that attention is fleeting. Wooden toys foster imaginative and creative play that helps support developmental milestones in young children.
Support Small Business! We curate our selection from socially conscious businesses all over the world and we prioritize the woman owned, minority owned, and small business community. You won't find most of our products at the big box stores or the gigantic online retailers.
