Welcome to a world of imagination and innovation, where the boundaries of playtime extend far beyond what you might find on the shelves.
In a market saturated with toys and gadgets, it's the unconventional products that are most interesting. While we might not find these cool toys on the shelves of conventional stores, they serve as a reminder that creativity knows no bounds.

2. Coconut - Play Couches
Coconut founder, Diana Horqque, wanted to develop a product for parents like her, who value handcraft quality and believe it's not about the quantity of toys, it's about thoughtful, versatile and beautiful timeless design that will last for years.
Today, Go Coconut not only designs every piece it creates, but also oversees the entirety of its production process from cutting the fabric and sewing it entirely with the help of local Canadian workers, to stuffing the foam in and packaging products for expedition.

5. Tree Fort Toys
Tree Fort Toys focuses on natural and outdoor toys. Products use natural, untreated hardwood that has been sanded soft and smooth to the touch. All letters, numbers, and images are laser engraved into the wood pieces in Victoria, BC.
The laser engraving process creates a permanent, non toxic image in the wood without the use of paints, dyes, or decals that may chip, peel, or rub off over time. The wood pieces of all disc and dice games are left natural, while block and bowling sets are finished with a Food Grade Mineral Oil and Pharmaceutical Grade Beeswax Balm.
