FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT OUR TOYS
All of our toys are designed in the United Kingdom by our highly talented design team, whose passion is to create toys to educate and entertain young minds. Our team is a collective of researchers, developers, illustrators, and talented product designers.
Our toys are made from high quality replanted woods, such as Rubberwood, plywood, and high-grade MDF. Rubberwood is a by-product of the rubber industry, we use it once its life as a rubber tree has ended and recycle it to become beautiful toys. We also make sure that our wood comes from sustainable forests, supporting local farmers and their communities, pledging to replant and replace what we use.
Our toys ethically made with love - The same people have been making our toys, from sustainably sourced forests, for over 25 years. We know them, trust them and support their ethical working practices.
We choose our places of production very carefully and carry out frequent, rigorous audits. Our toys have been handmade for 25 years only at certified ethical factories in Indonesia and China, therefore providing career opportunities and great conditions of work for local families.
Our paints as well as all the components of our toys (wood, fabric etc) are rigorously tested at all stages of the design and production process to ensure they meet and exceeding the mandatory safety regulation in each territory.
Since 1995, Le Toy Van’s wooden toys and most of our packaging have been biodegradable. We have significantly reduced the use of single-use plastic in our packaging, and aim to be 100% plastic free.

Kid safe, always – The safety of your child is our number one priority. We rigorously test and regularly exceed toy safety standards. We only ever use safe, non-toxic paint and work hard – from design to manufacture – to ensure kid safe edges on our toys, for safe play every day.
