Wild Woodland Toys Claimed

ALL of the toys sold by Wild Woodland Toys have been purchased through reputable award winning Australian Wholesale suppliers who import and distribute high-quality wooden toys to Australian retailers.
These suppliers source the products from overseas (mainly China) from ethical wooden toy manufacturers who only use wood from sustainable sources, as well as using safe water, soy and vegetable based paints, adhesives and coatings. The paints are non- toxic as are the natural oils and beeswax used to bring out the natural wood grain. All of these materials are certified and non- toxic.
They undergo constant rigorous testing for safety in accordance with the strict guidelines for Toy Safety within Australia.

Ethical Wooden Toy Companies tend to have nothing to hide and their websites and packaging usually proudly feature various certificates and awards by safety and environmental organisations.
There are several regulations and regulators governing the safety of toys in Australia but the Australian Consumer Law managed by the ACCC is the most important of these.

Plastic toys contain high levels of chemicals and toxins. Wooden toys are a much safer alternative as they do not contain these. This is particularly important with babies who tend to put everything in their mouths.
Wooden Toys are kinder to our planet as they don’t require batteries, electricity or even the software that the high tech devices require these days.

Apart from the Disney range of Ravensburger Jigsaw Puzzles we do not sell any licensed products as the majority of these are not wooden based, generally mass produced and plastic.
Even though we could make a higher profit from selling licensed toys, they do not fit within our values and core beliefs.

Traditional wooden toys are made of natural materials by skilled craftsmen, they are not mass produced in toxic plastic factories. As wooden toys substantially cost more to manufacture, their retail prices do tend to be higher.

Apart from very very small family businesses, unfortunately Australia does not have any wooden toy brands that can wholesale to retailers such as myself. Many of our brands are designed in Australia and then manufactured overseas.
When wanting to expand our range we always seek out small Australian businesses and collaborate with them. We love supporting other women in business!

No. This is not something we are interested in. We enjoy selling directly through our store and website creating a unique experience for our customers.

Plastic toys contain high levels of chemicals and toxins. Wooden toys are a much safer alternative as they do not contain these. This is particularly important with babies who tend to put everything in their mouths.

Whilst easy and convenient to purchase in mainstream shopping centres, mass produced plastic toys are designed to over stimulate with their noise and visual distractions. Wooden Toys inspire creativity and imagination in children. They create an environment of peacefulness and beauty as children engage in meaningful play. Wood is a natural texture, inviting children to touch, feel and explore. Plastic is not.
Toy Safety is the practice of ensuring that toys, especially those made for children ages 0 – 3, are safe, usually through the application of set Safety Standards. There are several regulations and regulators governing the safety of toys in Australia but the Australian Consumer Law managed by the ACCC is the most important of these.

It may either be my store is out of stock, whereupon I just place an order and the products will arrive within 3 weeks or the supplier may be out of stock. As these toys are not bulk produced and actually made by people and not a machine, most of the toys can take 6 - 12 months to become available again.
