Remember those times when exploring the world was wooden and fun? Then we moved onto the plastic era till we came to the point that 90% of the toys were made with this material, that accumulates on landfill by 8.5 millions of them only in the UK every single year. Blue Brontide is come with a passion for natural design on a mission to make a greener world for generations to come. Toys and ethically crafted goods that will last a lifetime, that will tell stories and gather memories in your family and will be passed down to others. A beautiful and minimal wooden collection of eco-friendly, natural & non-toxic kids products to make all the little things in the baby’s everyday routine memorable and fun.
Toys are the most intensive users of plastics amongst consumer goods, about 15 times higher than the plastic used in food packaging. Not just that, but 90% of toys for babies and toddlers between the age of 0-3 years are made of plastic. With all this plastic mess, and our urge to reduce its use and consumption, it may sound fair to you that Blue Brontide has decided to curate only, and just, an organic, eco-baby and kids collection of sustainable tableware, toys, teethers and placemats.
âBack to basicsâ
Having a baby itâs truly a life changer, where all the love for the little ones can be sensed in every corner of the household. We all want whatâs best for our children and Blue Brontide believes that being kind to baby & the planet can go hand in hand with sustainably designed baby accessories that are eco-friendly, natural & non-toxic of course!
As babies grow, what once was the most essential item, can end up being just another plastic âthingâ taking up the space that ends up being disposed of with more new âstuffâ taking its place – the reality is that 40% of toys have a lifespan of no longer than 4 months. Blue Brontide was born to shift the concept of childrenâs products with an âexpiry dateâ, to become the organic eco-baby and kids collection thatâs designed to keep & made to be passed on to new members as the family grows.
Wooden toys with a contemporary twist
Simple, wooden and timeless. Toys that are made of natural materials can help children connect with nature & learn through imaginative play. Wood really is the best choice for toys because it is sturdy, safe (non-toxic), environmentally friendly (biodegradable and renewable), durable (wood toys can be easily passed along from generation to generation) and is beautiful. Blue Brontideâs handcrafted toys are designed to encourage your children to use their minds through creative play and help with the development of their fine motor skills. Made in sustainable wood & hand painted in child-friendly water-based paints. Toys that can become treasures & collect stories, making them a perfect heirloom gift.
