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

As parents, caregivers, and early years professionals, we share a common goal - to provide children with resources that offer genuine value beyond mere entertainment. Here at tickit, we're passionate about demonstrating that environmentally responsible toys can become the most captivating resources in your setting, be it your home, primary school or nursery provision.

Why sustainable toys matter for your child's development

We're collectively growing more mindful about our ecological footprint and how to minimise it, making eco-conscious toy selection an increasingly vital factor before purchasing. At tickit, we're equally enthusiastic about earth-friendly products and firmly believe that sustainability needn't equate to dullness. Our wooden toys, all bearing FSC® certification, demonstrate perfectly that responsible play options can be colourful, absorbing, and utterly delightful for youngsters and grown-ups alike.

Breaking the myth of bland eco toysNumerous environmentally-friendly toys often feature subdued colour palettes that, whilst visually appealing to adults, may appear rather lacklustre to children. Young ones are naturally drawn to vivid colours, which is quite understandable when observing the natural world with its explosion of brilliant colour: consider the russet hues of autumn foliage, the exotic plumage of tropical birds, vast fields of golden sunflowers and the spectacular arc of rainbows! By capturing these eye-catching natural elements and weaving them into our considered toy designs, we aim to nurture what comes naturally to children – a love of play, bright colours and sensory discovery!

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
