Like I discussed in my last post, wooden toys are amongst my favorites. If you are considering wooden toys for Christmas gifts, here is a list of my favorite wooden toy brands that are both natural and beautiful (in my opinion).
All the wooden toys covered below are mostly from solid wood and safe for children with no harsh chemicals or paints. All are sustainably sourced and CE-marked. Please note that some may be for children older than three due to small parts.
For full disclosure, I may receive commissions from purchases made through a few links in this article.

Oh.. how I wish to have some kids in the family just to gift them these!!
Oh, these are so, SO, cute!! That's such a good idea. I love the wooden camera and the unicorn, haha! Thanks for sharing this. :)
I admire Grimms toys so much, and we actually have the bee hives + pinchers toy from Plan Toys, but you just introduced me to so many new brands to obsess over lol!! Wooden toys are so amazing!! These all look like heirloom pieces, but also fun toys for the kids to love and play with.
Wow, so many beautiful toys! I definitely love wooden ones more as well – and I would buy the camera for myself :-D
And if you need woody gifts for adults, Woodchuck USA has great stuff from journals to money clips, plus they plant a tree for every product they make.
Ah these are so adorable! I love the little tea set! Wood toys are just so special - I think that even most children notice the difference between them and mass produced plastic toys. Thank you for compiling such a great list!
Wow! There are so many awesome toys here... and they are all so beautiful! I am totally obsessed with that wooden truck! Thanks for including the country of origin, too!
These are so absolutely beautiful! It almost makes me wish my kids were little again so that I could give them some. --Almost ;)
