We're all about baby and toddler toys that are built to last and won't end up in the giveaway pile or trash. Toys inherently have a short window of use, so we look to stock heirloom pieces you can pass along from sibling to sibling (and beyond!) Our wood toys are made from high quality, responsibly sourced wood, a material both parents and kids tend to prefer over plastic.
We've selected our top 9 wood toys that will encourage tots to use their imagination for hours of make-believe fun!
1. Workbench
This cleverly designed wooden Carpenter's Workbench includes a wooden spanner, file and hammer and lots of nuts and bolts. When it's time to pack up, everything can be stored away neatly by turning the bench upside down and placing all of the items inside. Includes a built in carry handle, so easy to travel with.
My First Train Set is a chunky toy train set with pieces that are easy to grab by little hands. The bright colors are great for stimulating little minds and are made with child-friendly paint, stains and lacquers.
3. Food Mixer
Aspiring bakers can mix up some delicious pretend-play treats with this realistic food mixer with interactive features. There is an on/off dial, a liftable mixer that rotates, and a bowl awaiting ingredients. The on/off dial makes a realistic clicking noise. With its quality wooden construction, this set is an essential play kitchen accessory.
4. Cake Stand
With this realistic toy food set, young hosts can serve afternoon tea with mouth-watering treats on a decorative cake stand.

9. Doctor's Set
This beautifully crafted wooden Doctor's Kit has everything a young doctor needs to nurse sick teddies back to health.
