Mr Kipp and little Jimmy
There are many benefits to wooden toys!
Hi – I’m Jane, a mum of three young boys. I have always loved wood, as a child I could often be found in the shed making something hideously beautiful out of wood! So naturally I loved kids wooden toys. At first it was an aesthetic thing, but then I learned just why they are better for our children and for the planet!The idea to start a wooden toy hire business came from a personal need. My eldest, Kipp was born 10 days before Christmas and therefore would tire of all his toys well before mid year! I couldn’t afford to be buying wooden toys all the time and I felt an unease with the cheap plastic toys I was buying to fill that void, that would break easily and end up in landfill. After hiring toys to my local town of Ballarat for a while it became apparent that not all wooden toys are created equal. I soon began selling a couple of quality brands Australia wide.

Wooden toys are 100% biodegradable, unlike plastic which is unknown yet, if it will ever break down! 100 million dollars worth of toys are imported into Australia every Christmas, many of which end up in landfill.
Experts in child development say the best toys are those designed with a focus on what the child can do with the toy rather than what the toy can do. We need to allow our children to explore their toys intuitively. Timber toys provide more interaction as the child must push, pull, turn or connect parts, cultivating a more active mind.
Wooden toys are timeless and last longer. There are no fads with wooden toys, they have no sharp edges and can easily be repaired.
