H1 too long: handmade wooden toys from Canada that are sanded by hand, finished with beeswax, tested by local families and passed down from one generation of children to the next

Pull along animals encourage first steps and give curious walkers a cheerful companion around the house. If the paint ever wears thin after years of play, a light coat of beeswax brings the colour back to life. Children between one and three years old usually enjoy chunky pieces that are easy to grasp. The most popular item this year is a rainbow stacker that doubles as a bridge, a tunnel and a cradle.

Why families choose wooden toys

Grandparents often choose a classic train set, while new parents tend to pick soft shapes and rattles. Shopping locally supports the craftspeople who carve, paint and assemble every toy in our range. Simple toys leave room for imagination, which is exactly where the best games are invented. Open ended play helps children practise counting, sorting, balancing and telling their own stories.
