About Us

  • toys for imagination, wonder & joy

We select toys with forms, colours and textures that nourish the child’s developing senses, and stimulate their thinking and feeling life. We believe that toys made with loving care by the human-hand have a special quality, and assist children to meet the world with respect and a sense of wonder.

  • environmentally sound

You will find our site has the largest number of environmentally sustainable toys online in Australia.  Our timber sources come from sustainable forests in Europe, or in some instances from rubber plantations in Thailand.

  • non-toxic

The materials used to make our toys are natural and non-toxic.  The majority of our toys are made in Europe not just "designed in Europe".  Many of our toys are coloured with plant dyes, left natural, or finished with natural beeswax.

  • ethically made

We endeavour at all times to ensure the people making our toys are paid a decent wage.  We seek out individuals and companies with ethical policies and who are willing to ask questions about how their products are made. We support women working from home in Australia, Brazil and China, not only assisting them to earn a wage while caring for their children, but also encouraging the art of handcrafts to stay alive; as well as supporting people working in sheltered workshops in Europe.

  • high quality and safety standards

We select companies with high standards of toy safety that comply with both European and Australian safety toy standards.  We are members of the Australian Toy Association.

Honeybee is the best toy shop in the world. Nellie, aged 6

Thanks SO very much for the incredibly speedy delivery of this order. Truly amazing, given you are in Melbourne and we are in Longreach!! They are beautiful toys and I can't wait to make another order from you very soon. Thanks for stocking such quality stuff :) Kirsty, Dec 07

Thankyou... I adore your toys...with a 3 yr old and 1 yr old I have learnt to despise 'plastic battery flashing light multi marketed movie inspired etc etc" toys and stumbled on your website to much joy! My boys will be having a 'wooden' Chrissy this year (as I hand over their old toys to Vinnys. Thanks I will visit again I am sure! Ally

Your toys are really exceptional, and I would certainly like to buy toys from you again. I've never bought anything over the internet before, so I was very relieved to receive them at all!!! Thanks again Deanna

Thank you so much for bringing these beautiful toys to Australia. It is fantastic that they are available for sale on-line as we have 3 small children and find it hard to get out. Ester

 I would like to congratulate you on your fabulous web site…it is worth the wait!! It is very simple to get around and is quite comprehensive. Thankyou for all the time and thought you have put in to making the very beautiful products even more accessible Tess

Thanks for the speedy delivery of the tree house. It was here with plenty of time for Jesse's birthday. Everyone who has seen it thinks it is fantastic. Angie, Feb 08

My order arrived today and let me just say that it exceeded my expectations. It felt just like Christmas when the packages arrived and I was very impressed with the product. Thankyou for the extra surprises as well. I cannot express enough what a pleasure it has been to deal with you and would not hesitate you recommend you or your company.
