Collection: Tender Leaf Toys

Tender Leaf Toys creates products for children from around 12 months through to age 8 and beyond. Simpler items like the Rainbow Tunnel suit children aged 18 months and up, while detailed wooden dolls houses and play kitchens are designed for children aged 3 years and up. Many pieces—particularly furniture sets and doll families—appeal to older children who enjoy detailed small world play and storytelling.

The range spans wooden dolls houses, play kitchens and shops, furniture sets, doll families, animal figures, and small world playsets. Popular categories include their detailed kitchen collections—from compact designs to the impressive La Fiamma Grand Kitchen—alongside portable dolls houses like Cottontail Cottage and large-scale designs such as Fantail Hall. They also create themed sets featuring safari animals, woodland creatures, and garden scenes.

Tender Leaf Toys are designed specifically for open-ended, imaginative play. Their dolls houses, kitchens, and animal sets create rich small world environments where children direct their own stories—there's no "right way" to play. Doll families with flexible limbs can be posed for any scenario, while themed playsets like safari animals and woodland creatures invite children to build entire worlds. This kind of screen-free, child-led play encourages language development, social understanding, and creative thinking as children rehearse real-life situations through miniature domestic scenes.

All toys are crafted from sustainable rubberwood, which is naturally solid, smooth to the touch, and displays a beautiful natural grain. Dolls houses combine rubberwood with responsibly sourced birch plywood for strength and stability. Every piece is finished with non-toxic, water-based paints in contemporary, nature-inspired colours—safe for children and gentle on the environment.

Many Tender Leaf products work beautifully alongside toys from other quality wooden toy makers. Their doll families have flexible limbs and are scaled to fit most standard dolls houses, while furniture sets suit a range of house styles. The small world animal figures and playsets integrate naturally with similar collections, making it easy to expand imaginative play across different brands in your child's toy collection.

Tender Leaf Toys is a British brand that designs contemporary wooden toys in England. Each toy is brought to life in a family-run factory in Indonesia, where skilled craftspeople hand-paint and assemble every piece. From raw wood to finished product, the entire production happens under one roof—providing dependable employment for hundreds of local villagers while maintaining consistent quality and safety standards.

Tender Leaf Toys uses reclaimed rubberwood—a by-product of the latex industry—so no trees are felled specifically for toy production. For every reclaimed tree used, they plant a new one, driving a cycle of regeneration. Toys are finished with non-toxic, water-based paints and packaged in recycled cardboard without plastic. The brand holds the ICTI Ethical Toy Program seal, recognising their commitment to ethical and sustainable practices throughout the supply chain.

Tender Leaf's beautifully designed wooden toys make wonderful gifts for children aged 1 and up. For many items in our range, we offer premium gift wrapping using FSC-certified, sustainable paper in a choice of nine designs—expertly hand-wrapped in plastic-free packaging with a personalised message on a Haliburtons & Co. gift card. Gift wrapping availability is shown on individual product pages and at checkout. Some larger items are fulfilled directly by our partners and aren't eligible for gift wrapping, but can still be sent directly to the recipient.
