BC Playthings offers a good selection of quality, wholesome toys. We are well known for our wooden and other natural toys, and are a resource for Waldorf parents and educators.

I've chosen these products to nurture and encourage active, wholesome play. Good playthings promote "participating play"... resulting directly from a child's creative, imaginative, and social input.

Childhood is an adventure of exploration, and well-chosen playthings provide opportunities for discovery.

  NEW Popular Playthings      March 22, 2012

We have just added a collection of NEW construction and magentic play things from Popular Playthings.

My favourite is the Hexacus, a cool spin on the 'Wedgit' toy thats been so popular these past few years. Oh ya and Linkazoo... I loved testing that one out too!

Find them under construction!

  makedo      March 11, 2012

The possibilities of what you can make with makedo are limited only by the materials you find and your imagination.

Wouldn’t you love to make play objects, kid’s costumes, furniture, decorations for the home and well, just about anything you can think of from the materials around you?

makedo makes it possible and impossibly fun.

makedo is a connector system that enables materials including cardboard, plastic and fabric to easily join together to form new objects or structures.

When you’re done playing, simply pull it apart to reuse over and over again.

Find it under construction!
