Why Custom Wooden Toys?
As more brands seek eco-conscious, non-toxic, and educational toy solutions, custom wooden toys have emerged as a top choice. Whether you're a small educational brand, a Montessori school, or an eco retail shop, customization allows you to create toys that reflect your values and meet your market needs.
At Forestoy, we specialize in custom wood toy manufacturing—from concept sketches to child-safe final products.
Step 1: Concept & Product Design
It all begins with your idea. Our design team works closely with you to transform your concept into a technical drawing and 3D model, optimized for wood material and child interaction.
What's included:
1. Initial consultation
2. 2D/3D mockups Material suggestions (e.g., beech, birch, rubberwood)
3. Safety and age-appropriateness review
✅ Pro Tip: Design with EN71 and ASTM F963 standards in mind from the start to reduce rework.
Step 2: Prototyping & Sampling
Once the design is finalized, we craft a handmade prototype to evaluate functionality, finish, and safety. This phase ensures the toy meets your expectations before moving into mass production.
Features of Forestoy’s prototyping:
Precision cutting with CNC and laser tools
Hand-sanding for smooth edges
Optional packaging sample
Feedback loop for refinements

✅ ISO 8124 (International)
✅ FSC Certification for sustainable wood sourcing
We also provide test reports and CPC (Children's Product Certificates) for our clients who sell in regulated markets.
Step 4: Manufacturing & Assembly
Once the prototype is approved, production begins in our state-of-the-art workshop. Our team blends modern machinery with artisan craftsmanship to ensure consistency and quality.
