As a mother of a toddler I want my daughter to be surrounded by natural toys that I know are safe and have been made ethically and in an environmentally conscious way. I want this for all children, so they will value the beauty of the natural world. By giving a child an eco toy you are helping to protect the child's future.

Our commitment is to the Environment:
At Eco Toys we believe that toys should be safe for kids to play with and also good for our planet. We only choose quality crafted toys that are made from natural, sustainable, recyclable, biodegradable and/or recycled materials.
Our range of toys consists of wooden toys made from environmentally friendly and sustainable sources such as recycled plantation rubber trees, FSC certified timbers, local plantation pine or 100% recycled timbers. For further information about what timbers are eco friendly and why go to the Good wood Guide by Greenpeace.
We also have other eco toys made from natural, sustainable or recycled materials such a certified organic cotton soft toys, pure wool felt toys and our Green Toys are made from 100% recycled milk containers. All our books, gift cards, gift wrapping and cardboard jigsaw puzzles are made from post consumer recycled cardboard and printed using eco friendly soy and vegetable based inks and most of the toys are packaged in boxes that is also made from recycled cardboard and is totally biodegradable.
Eco Toys only uses 100% recycled cardboard and packaging to send our toys and all our printing is done locally on post consumer waste paper using soy based inks.

Our products comply with the highest Australian and European safety standards for toys and are all made from natural and non-toxic materials. Our nature and cherry rattles are finished with natural beeswax making them the ideal toy for babies to chew on and our wooden toys with child safe and non-toxic paints.
Supporting local & ethically made craftsmanship:
We are proud to support local and Australian artisans and have a large range of Australian made environmentally friendly toys. These include Australian family owned businesses, stay at home mums and indigenous Australians. Any toys that are made overseas are made in an ethically sound way by highly skilled craftspeople that are paid a fair wage for their work.
Our educational wooden toys are designed and owned by an Australian company who also run a program where they train and employ adults with disabilities in Vietnam to become craftsman/woman for life.
