Papoose Toys was born from the desire to use traditional craft techniques and natural materials to design toys over the past 25 years. Toys by Papoose are unique, original, safe for children, and engages minds and fingers for hours of fun play and learning. Whilst sourcing natural materials, Papoose Toys keeps in mind the impact on the planet and the communities that make these wonderful products. Papoose Toys sources Fair Trade makers where possible and trades fairly with many artisans: usually small family businesses in Nepal.

Papoose Toys aims to engage the minds of children by creating open-ended, non-prescriptive toys while also providing resources for teachers and parents who are looking for sustainable, eco-friendly and natural educational toys.

Toys from Papoose are made from natural wood. As such, do expect variations in terms of colour, grain, and markings. Some products also show cracks down their trunks/stumps. We have checked with Papoose Toys and they have personally guaranteed that these are not defects, but are unique indications that serve as proof of its natural origin. Please only purchase if you are comfortable with such characteristics.
