Eco-friendly toys - how we at tickit® are making sustainability exciting

As parents, caregivers, and early years professionals, we all want the same thing - toys that are not just fun, but meaningful. At tickit, we are on a mission to prove that eco-friendly toys can be the most exciting resources in your setting, whether that is a home, school or early years childcare provision.

Why sustainable toys matter for your child's development

We are all becoming increasingly more concerned about our environmental impact and what we can do to reduce this, meaning choosing eco-friendly toys is becoming an essential pre-purchase consideration. Here at tickit we share your passion for planet-friendly toys and advocate that sustainable doesn't have to mean boring. Our FSC® -certified wooden toys are proof that conscious play can be vibrant, engaging, and captivating for children and adults alike.

Breaking the myth of bland eco toysMany eco-friendly toys tend to take on a muted colour schemes, which although is aesthetically pleasing to adults can look uninspiring to children. Children naturally gravitate to colour, which is understandable when you look at the natural world which is bursting with vibrancy- think of autumn leaves, tropical birds, sunflower fields and rainbows! By embracing the things that catch our eye in nature and incorporating them into our thoughtful toy design, we hope to keep instilling a further love of all things that come inherently to children - playing, colour and exploration through our senses!

We at tickit believe that:

• Children deserve toys that are as colourful and exciting as their imagination
• Sustainability should be fun, not a compromise
• Educational play can be visually enticing and environmentally responsible
