Timeless Wooden Toys that are sustainable, beautifully made and built to last. Wooden Toys are generally more durable and can withstand rough play, making them long-lasting and often becoming heirloom pieces passed down through generations.
Our favourites include the beautiful toddler wooden toys from Djeco, gorgeous wooden toys by Orange Tree Toys, plus the exciting Zig and Go Action Reaction sets by Djeco.
To ensure that Wooden Toys are sustainable in the UK, look for certifications such as FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), which guarantee that the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests.
FSC wood is wood that has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), an international non-profit organization dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world's forests. FSC certification ensures that the wood comes from forests that are managed in environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable ways. Key principles of FSC certification include:
1. Environmental Protection: Safeguarding biodiversity, water resources, soils, and unique and fragile ecosystems.
2. Social Responsibility: Respecting the rights of indigenous peoples and ensuring fair treatment and good working conditions for workers.
3. Economic Viability: Maintaining the economic health of forest operations, which helps to ensure that forests are sustainably managed over the long term.
When you buy FSC-certified Wooden Toys, you can be confident that they have been sourced from forests that meet these high standards.
