In the toy world, there’s a trend that wooden toys are making a strong comeback, and their charm goes far beyond exuding a retro vibe. They are also synonymous with the green side of the toy world, with their naturalness, sustainability, and simple design and versatile play functions that give children a variety of feelings from look, touch, mind, and inspiration.
Sustainably sourced = smarter play
Toys made with FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood come from responsibly managed forests. This means that for every tree used, new trees are planted to protect the continued survival of organisms. So behind every wooden truck or puzzle, there is a bigger, more environmentally friendly blueprint.
Say goodbye to toxins!
Unlike many plastic toys, good wooden toys do not contain any harsh chemicals. Non-toxic coatings (like water-based paints and vegetable oils), PVC-free materials, and more, because let’s be honest—kids will put everything in their mouths. So safety comes first.

By choosing wooden toys, you’re instilling something meaningful in your kids: caring for the planet starts with everyday choices—even when you’re playing. Plus, durable wooden toys often become heirlooms that last for years and carry the weight of time instead of becoming landfill fillers.
