Not your average toy shop

Welcome to our little toy shop! We curate smart toys that kids actually use - for learning, exploring and just having fun. We're also rethinking what it means to run a modern store: responsive to your needs, mindful of waste and quietly pushing back against throwaway consumerism. Let's raise the bar - and the next generation - together.

Our favourite finds this week

    Safe tools from Melbourne-based Makedo enable kids to imagine and build cardboard creations.
