Le Toy Van

A small but big-hearted family company. We believe childhood should be enjoyed to the full. That’s why we’ve been making imaginative wooden toys, designed in Great Britain with a touch of French je ne sais quoi, since 1995. Ethically made from sustainable tactile materials, our toys encourage creative long-lasting play and quickly become well-loved family favourites. Our uniquely designed, multi-award winning, hand finished toys are a true investment in play, for generations to come.


  • OUR ENGAGEMENT

We use and replant a by-product of the rubber industry, Rubberwood, which we, amongst other woods, recycle into wonderful, eco-friendly, high-quality wooden toys.


  • DESIGNED WITH LOVE

Le Toy Van toys are developed in the United Kingdom by the highly experienced in-house creative team. All toys are designed to comply with the rigorous EN-71 & ASTM safety standards.

The in-house and on-site quality team ensure the delivery of a consistent high standard product Le Toy Van is acclaimed for.


  • ETHICALLY MADE

Le Toy Van toys are ethically made by our trusted partners and validated by the ICTI & ISO 9001 seal of Approval. With a reputation to uphold, there are rigorous comprehensive quality, safety and sustainability programmes & certification in place. Using natural materials, including replenishable legal quality smooth rubber-wood and an array of techniques from hand screen printing to water staining, these detailed hand-finished toys are unique and loved by little hands.


  • FAMILY BUSINESS
