Plastic Free Toys
Fantastic news this week that John Lewis and Waitrose have removed all plastic toys from their crackers as part of their plans to reduce single use plastic for 2020.
Which is great for companies like us who have been advocating the beauty of solid wood toys, especially when the wood we use is from sustainable sources....https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-50122005
As a company have been working really hard with all our suppliers to replace single use plastic wherever possible....we are replacing all our small plastic bag that hold our screws with small recyclable cardboard boxes and we are now wrapping all our products in paper for internal protection. We are also eliminating our window boxes in order to reduce the use of the clear acetate.
Really lovely to see that wonderful companies like Okido, who I have loved ever since they appeared on our childrens' bookshelves years ago, promote our brand over on their blog....

If you have n't been onto their site, please take a look, its full of wonderful articles and gorgeous resources for learning through play...
A big shout out to an amazing new store just opened called PomPom,

They have selected 4 of our products as they qualify for their rigorous selection process as being completely plastic free....
"We hand pick items created by brands that love design and creativity like we do. Our desire to be free from plastic works hand in hand with our aesthetic."
We are really chuffed to be part of their mission to offer well designed completely earth friendly products for children.
