Hi Friend!!! Thank you for stopping in!

We only use recyclable materials for packaging toys. If you received bubble wrap or plastic wrap, it’s because we reused it from a package we received ourselves. We reuse all packing materials possible — from boxes, paper and plastic. For our signs, we do ship with some bubble wrap — we always try to reuse it, where possible ♻️ Our toys are made with natural wooden materials; our dyes are food safe and our paints and finishes are water based.

Our little company is fully insured & compliant with the Toy Regulations section (SOR/2011-17) under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) which aims to help protect the health and safety of children, by setting out mandatory safety requirements for children's toys and related products manufactured, advertised, imported or sold in Canada.

Ideal for Montessori parents, screen free parents, minimalist parents, the list goes on. Our toys are also ideal for professional use by Play Therapists, Speech & Language Pathologists, and Early Childhood Educators.

  • Wooden Toys

    Montessori inspired, our wood toys are non toxic, eco friendly and inspired by little hands and budding minds. They are meant to be educational as well as easy on the eyes. We love open ended toys that encourage imaginations to open up and run free. Our toys are meant to inspire a free spirit in your little ones. Each toy is handmade — with love — from our family to yours. 

    Help your little one learn while practicing fine motor skills and sharpening colour recognition. All of our sets are meant to pair beautifully with other toys in our lineup. They are made for colour sorting, shape identification, pincer grasp, counting, stacking, hand-eye coordination — the list goes on. Plus they are great for imaginary play.

    Left natural, Hand dyed, or painted in water based pastel and neutral colours — our toys are pleasing to touch as well as look beautiful on a shelf. We use only 100% non-toxic and water based materials.

  • Signs & Personalized Gifts

    Each wood sign is handmade in our small family shop. Everything is cut in house — we do not cover up knots, small holes, or imperfections in the wood as long as it does not interfere with the construction or design of the sign. Each piece is hand sanded and hand painted with love. They are not mass produced and may have small perfect imperfections. We feel these perfect imperfections add to the beauty and uniqueness of your sign.

    We also do a variety of personalized gifts — from wood burned rolling pins, hammers, cutting boards, ornaments and more. All of these are done by hand. Alisa does all of the wood burning by hand and is able to customize a wide variety of items to suit your vision.

    Custom orders are available and encouraged. Let us create something beautiful for you!
