Suited to children aged three and up, through the Pre-K and early primary years.

Why it lasts.

We carry Tender Leaf because they build little worlds with a conscience: designed in England under award-winning toy designer Danielle Hanson, handcrafted by an ethical family-run workshop in Indonesia from reclaimed rubberwood, and finished in toxic-free, water-based paints. For every toy sold, they plant a tree. A world in every box, and a tree in the ground behind it.

Ways to play.

Float the otters down an imaginary river and moor up for supper. Tuck the family into their sleeping bags, tend the row of vegetables on deck, and let the story wander from one riverbank to the next.

Loved it!

Our river boat is so fantastic! Well made and I had the best time playing with my two yr old granddaughter with it!! Leans itself well to play acting .
Just love it and will probably add more to her collection at some point.
