There’s something magical about toys that don’t come with instructions. Our Open Ended & Heuristic Toys Collection is all about letting children decide what a toy can be. Inspired by Montessori and Waldorf learning, these pieces give little ones the freedom to explore and imagine in their own way.
We’ve seen it so many times: one day a set of blocks is a castle wall, the next it’s a row of shops, and by the weekend it’s a bridge for toy cars. Parents often tell us they’re surprised at how the same toy gets reinvented every single day. Honestly, we love hearing those stories — they remind us why open-ended play is so powerful.
These toys are perfect for babies, toddlers, and early years, and they grow with your child as their imagination expands. They’re also some of our favourite gifts to recommend, because they never get “finished with” the way some toys do — there’s always another way to use them.
