Collection: Bajo Wooden Toys | BeoVERDE

Why Wooden Toys Matter

There's something about a wooden toy that just feels right in a child's hands. The warmth of natural materials, the satisfying weight, the way it invites open-ended play rather than dictating how it should be used. Bajo understands this instinctively. Their toys don't flash, beep, or tell children what to do — they simply offer a canvas for imagination.For busy parents seeking toys with genuine play value, wooden toys offer a welcome alternative to the overwhelming and the over-stimulating. They encourage children to slow down, focus, and create their own stories.

The Bajo Difference

What sets Bajo apart from other wooden toy makers? Three decades of dedication to their craft.Founded in 1993 in Kamionna — a small village at the foot of Poland's Carpathian Mountains — Bajo remains family-run to this day. Every toy is designed in-house and produced in their own workshop, where skilled craftspeople hand-check each piece before it leaves.The sustainability credentials are specific, not vague. Bajo uses wood from certified sustainable sources, complying with EU Timber Regulations. Their factory runs on solar power. Packaging is plastic-free, made from single-colour printed cardboard. Even the paints are non-toxic and water-based, meeting both EU (EN71) and US safety standards.And durability? Bajo confirms that second-generation children play with the same toys. These aren't just built to survive childhood — they're built to be inherited.

The Bajo Collection

Gruffalo Wooden Figures

Oh help! Oh no! Bajo holds the exclusive licence to produce wooden Gruffalo toys, and they've done Julia Donaldson's beloved characters proud. The Bajo Gruffalo & Mouse Set features movable arms and legs, cord tails, and felt ears on the Gruffalo — perfect for acting out the story or inventing new adventures. Collect the whole woodland cast: Fox, Owl, Snake, and Mouse each stand beautifully alongside the main characters. For younger fans, the Gruffalo 9 Wooden Blocks Puzzle offers a double-sided challenge with scenes from both "The Gruffalo" and "The Gruffalo's Child."

TOBE Natural Wooden Animals

Bajo's TOBE range takes a different approach: sculptural animal figures left in natural, unpainted wood. The TOBE Polar Bear, Gorilla, Panda, Rhinoceros, and Sloth all feature movable arms and legs, and the wood grain itself becomes part of the character — suggesting fur, texture, and life. These are toys that double as décor, heirloom pieces you'll be happy to display long after playtime ends. The TOBE Sloth even has little pegs on its limbs so it can hang from furniture, books, or window sills.

Vehicles & Push-Alongs

For little ones who love things that go, Bajo's vehicle range is perfectly sized for small hands. The Ellipse Car, Beetle Car, and Racing Car feature rounded edges, chunky shapes, and natural wood wheels that reveal beautiful grain. The Fire Engine adds a moving ladder and jingle bell for extra excitement. For imaginative pilots, the Plane with Pilot comes in cheerful colours with a natural wood propeller. All are robust enough to withstand enthusiastic play — and small enough to slip into a bag for outings.

Stacking & Balancing Games

The Mendelson Balancing Game is Bajo's entry into tabletop play for ages 3+. Fifteen chunky wooden figures can be stacked upright, upside down, or leaning into one another — building patience, spatial awareness, and concentration. It's the kind of calm, hands-on activity that absorbs children (and adults) completely.

Play Made Simple

Bajo wooden toys don't need instructions. A wooden car becomes a racing champion, a rescue vehicle, or a character in an elaborate story. The Gruffalo figures can retell the book — or venture into entirely new adventures. The TOBE animals might populate a nature reserve, join a tea party, or simply sit on a shelf looking beautiful.That's the magic of open-ended play: children lead, and the toy follows. And because Bajo toys are built to last, they'll be ready for whatever comes next — whether that's a younger sibling, a cousin, or a whole new generation.
