Le Toy Van Hero

‘Creating Toys that inspire imaginative and social play has always been at the heart of Le Toy Van. Knowing that they are ethically made is the cherry on the cake!’

A Family Business

Founded by George Le Van, and later joined by his son Steven Le Van, Le Toy Van team has developed and now collectively holds over 150 years of experience in the toy industry.

Inspired by the understanding that children have little hands but big imaginations, Le Toy Van is passionate and proud to design innovative toys that encourage learning through imaginative and role play.

When Did It All Begin?

In 1995, Le Toy Van was created in Surrey, England, to design and distribute high quality traditional wooden toys with a contemporary styling. Since these early days, Le Toy Van has become a trusted partner in the world of wooden toys. The award winning toys are now available in more than 50 countries worldwide.

How Are The Toys Made?

Le Toy Van toys are ethnically made by our trusted partners and validated by the ICTI & ISO 9001 seal of Approval.

With a reputation to uphold, there are rigorous comprehensive programmes and certification in place.

Using natural materials, including replenish able legal quality smooth rubber-wood and an array of techniques from hand screen printing to water staining, these detailed hand finished toys are unique and loved by little hands.

Petilou is one of our newest collections which is a range of wooden toys for children age 1-2+ this range purely focuses on what children need for a healthy development through play, such as cognitive/dexterity and educational values such as counting and picture puzzles which is implemented into a fun vibrant way through graphical design and shapes. At this age children are teething and are heavy handed so the majority of this range is finished in water based inks meaning that the paint will not chip for a safe and beautiful toy.
