What an awesome business! Supplier of the month- Plan toys!

Plan Toys are not only well-known for the first company in the world to manufacture wooden toys from preservative-free rubberwood, it is one of the leading companies to create new material and process to minimize waste up to zero. 

The toys are made from trees that no longer produce latex. The surplus sawdust and branches are used to make more toys and also placed in their Biomass generator to produce electricity for the whole factory and neighboring villages.

Their award winning wooden toys meet and exceed 8 different industry standards including toy safety, energy consumption and optimized packaging to name a few. Plan toys use no formaldehyde glue and organic paints! 

Their products come from extensive research into how children learn from play at each developmental stage. Each age bracket has a vast array of toys to suit each required skill. They have developed gross and fine motor toys, cause and effect toys, auditory and visual toys and social and emotional toys.

 Plan toys believe that throughout childhood, play serves as a means to develop physical abilities, cognitive skills, speech, and language understanding. While absorbed in play, children establish friendships, build self-esteem and learn new ways to solve problems. It is one of life’s great joys to watch children happily engaged in playing. By carefully choosing toys and providing a safe play area, parents can ensure that their children will make the most of this special time.

Sustainable play is the foundation of how our toys cultivate creative minds and bring children closer to nature. “Our children will grow up with knowledge and appreciation to respect and to preserve natural resources for the future generation knowing that they can make the world a better place”. Plan Toys has gained recognition globally and branched out its philosophy with natural aesthetic quality through wooden toys.

Plan Toys believes that everyone can contribute to a better world by playing sustainably. They recognize the importance of promoting good quality of life, balanced with the concern for environment. “As an environmentally and socially responsible private enterprise, we are proudly committed to our philosophy; dedication to minimizing our impact and effectively giving back to the nature and people in the society.” Plan Toys continually supports numerous social  responsibility causes.

What an awesome business that cares not only about the planet, it's employees and surrounding villages but also YOUR child!

"So what's in it for me? (and my kid's of course)"Why hire from Mr Kipp and little Jimmy?

You may be asking that question and there are plenty of answers to that question....

1. The toys are beautiful timber toys that your little ones will get hours of creative and engaging play out of. When they get tired of playing with it or the toy breaks you won't have to store it  or chuck it out and replace it.

2. The toys will be delivered to you and picked up at a time and location that suits you. They will arrive in gorgeous baskets and will be clean! (with no residue or bacteria)

3. Hiring timber toys will stop the abundance of plastic toys slowly taking over your home. "An avalanche of toys invites emotional disconnect and a sense of overwhelm" says Dr Kim Payne and that's just the kids- what about the overwhelming feeling of mess for poor mum!

4. You'll be doing the planet a favor, but more importantly you will be doing your child's health a favor. Plastic toys have been known to contain harmful chemicals including Lead, pythalates and BPA. Lead poisoning in children can cause serious illness and developmental problems.

5. Spontaneous play is super important for kids as it develops a range of different qualities. Play for our children is their 'work'. Timber toys provide more interaction with the toy as they must push, pull, turn or connect parts of the toy. This leads to a more active mind.

6. Timber toys have no sharp edges. When a plastic toy breaks it can shatter into small pieces which can be dangerous for toddlers who put everything in their mouths!

Timber toys have so may positives, so what's the negative? They're expensive! especially when your little one tires of a toy in months. So that's why you should hire beautiful, safe, eco friendly toys from Mr Kipp and little Jimmy!
