Because Childhood Deserves Something Real
At Lotes Toys, we believe the toys our children play with matter — not just how they look or feel, but what they’re made of.
We’ve chosen to make our toys from natural materials like wood, wax and natural oils — not plastic. It’s a decision rooted in care: for your child, for their development, and for the planet they’ll inherit.
Let’s walk you through exactly why we choose natural over plastic, and how it benefits the little hands (and big imaginations) we design for.
1. Better for Child Development
Natural materials like wood offer a sensory experience that plastic simply can’t match. The texture, weight, and smell of real wood invite children to slow down, focus, and explore with intention.
- Tactile learning: Wooden toys feel warm, smooth, and alive — they invite touch, helping fine motor skills develop naturally.
- Less distraction: No flashing lights or artificial sounds means more attention to imagination, not entertainment.
At Lotes Toys, we believe less is more, and simple toys lead to richer play.
2. Kinder to the Planet
Most plastic toys are made from petroleum-based materials. They can take hundreds of years to break down — and many aren’t recyclable.
By contrast, we choose: sustainable hardwoods from responsibly managed forests.
Wooden toys are biodegradable, long-lasting, and earth-friendly — so the planet your child plays on stays just as magical tomorrow as it is today.
3. Safer for Small Hands (and Mouths)
Let’s be honest: little ones put everything in their mouths. That’s why safety isn’t a side note — it’s the foundation of everything we make.
Unlike many plastic toys, ours contain:
- No phthalates, BPA, or harmful chemicals
- No tiny pieces that break easily
-
No artificial dyes or synthetic coatings
Just natural wood, lovingly shaped and smoothed by hand. That’s it.
4. Built to Last (and Be Loved)
Plastic toys often end up broken or forgotten at the bottom of the bin. But a well-made wooden toy? It gets passed down. It tells a story.
Our toys are:
- Durable enough for real childhood — drops, bumps, and all
- Timelessly designed — not trend-based or disposable
-
Cherished — parents tell us they love the look and feel as much as their children do
Lotes toys are more than playthings. They’re keepsakes — the kind you keep in a memory box or pass on to a new generation.
5. Aligned With Our Values — and Yours
We know that many families are rethinking how much plastic is in their homes. We are too. At Lotes Toys, we want to offer a gentler, slower, more intentional way to play.
When you choose our natural toys, you’re choosing:
- Simplicity over clutter
- Sustainability over convenience
-
Connection over consumption
It’s not just about what your child plays with — it’s about how they grow. And who they become.

If you’re looking to build a playroom with fewer plastics and more purpose, you’re in the right place.
Final Thought
We don’t believe kids need more toys — they just need the right ones. Toys that feel good in their hands, invite their imagination, and respect the earth they’re learning to love.
Thank you for trusting Lotes Toys to be part of your child’s play — and your family’s values.
Let’s raise kind kids, with kind toys.
