Wooden Ride-On Toys & Active Play for Children | Froglet Toys

Active & Ride-On Toys — Movement, Balance, and the Outdoors
Children need to move. Long before they can articulate why, their bodies are telling them: climb, rock, spin, scoot, balance. The toys that answer that call — the ones that get children off the sofa and into their bodies — are some of the most important a child can own. They're also some of the most memorable.
Our Active & Ride-On collection brings together six beautiful wooden toys for children aged 10 months to 5 years, from Le Toy Van and Tender Leaf Toys. These are substantial, heirloom-quality pieces — the kind of gift that lives in the hallway, gets used every single day, and years later still looks beautiful.
Le Toy Van Rocking Horses — A Classic, Beautifully Made
The rocking horse is one of the oldest childhood toys in existence, and for good reason. Rocking builds balance and core strength, soothes and regulates, and gives children a first sense of independent movement that they can control entirely themselves. Le Toy Van's versions are crafted from sustainably sourced wood with careful attention to both safety and aesthetics — the kind of rocking horse that looks as good in a living room as it does in a playroom.
Both are currently in stock, priced at £75.00, and suitable for children from around 18 months.
Le Toy Van Classic Rocking Horse — £75.00 (in stock) — a beautifully crafted wooden rocking horse in classic carnival colours. Solid, safe, and satisfying to ride, with a gentle rocking motion well-suited to young children. The sort of gift that gets handed down — from sibling to sibling, and eventually generation to generation.
Le Toy Van Unicorn Carousel Rocking Horse — £75.00 (in stock) — the same quality construction as the Classic, reimagined as a magical unicorn with gold glitter detailing and a fairytale carousel aesthetic. A truly spectacular gift for a child who loves unicorns, magic, or anything with a touch of sparkle. At £75.00 for a toy this well made and this beautiful, it's exceptional value.
Both rocking horses are suitable from around 18 months up to approximately 4–5 years, though many children continue to enjoy them well beyond that age.
Tender Leaf Toys Scooters — Active Play, Beautifully Designed
Tender Leaf Toys brings its signature warmth and craftsmanship to two wooden scooters — both currently out of stock but very much worth knowing about if you're planning ahead. These are premium wooden scooters designed for children who are ready to get moving, with adjustable handles and a quality build that sets them apart from standard plastic alternatives.
Tender Leaf Toys Scooter with Basket — £145.00 (currently out of stock) — a beautifully crafted wooden scooter with a handy front basket for carrying treasures on the go. Perfect for children aged 2–5 who are ready to scoot independently. The basket adds a lovely imaginative play dimension — deliveries, collections, little adventures.
Tender Leaf Toys Delivery Scooter — £145.00 (currently out of stock) — a wooden delivery scooter with a dedicated cargo area, ideal for children who like purposeful play — delivering parcels, collecting items, or simply scooting with intent. A joyful, active, and beautifully made toy for ages 2–5.
Both scooters are priced at £145.00, reflecting the quality of Tender Leaf's craftsmanship and materials. Sign up to our newsletter to be notified when these come back into stock.
Tender Leaf Toys Sunshine Baby Activity Walker — £110.00
(Currently out of stock)
A premium wooden baby walker designed to support babies taking their first steps, with an activity-rich front panel to explore before independent walking begins. Tender Leaf's Sunshine Baby Activity Walker is one of the most beautiful baby walkers available — built from sustainably sourced rubberwood, with activities on the front panel to engage babies during the pre-walking stage, and a sturdy, weighted design that provides real support once babies are pulling themselves up and finding their feet.
An outstanding gift for a new baby or a child approaching their first birthday. Sign up to our newsletter to be notified when this comes back into stock.
Mentari Wobble Board — £29.00
(Currently out of stock)
The wobble board is a deceptively simple toy with remarkable longevity. Children as young as 10 months use them for supported standing and balance exploration; toddlers use them as a rocking toy and a stepping challenge; older children stand and balance freely, testing their core stability with every wobble. Mentari's wooden Wobble Board is a natural, screen-free active toy that supports physical development at every stage of early childhood, and one that grows with a child for several years. At £29.00 it's one of the most affordable pieces in this collection.

Choosing an Active Toy — A Gift Guide
Active play gifts are often the most impactful of all — they're used every day, they support physical development in ways that desk toys simply can't, and they tend to be the toys children remember most vividly as adults.
For babies approaching their first steps (10–18 months): The Tender Leaf Sunshine Baby Activity Walker (£110.00) and Mentari Wobble Board (£29.00) are both designed for this developmental stage. The walker provides physical support; the wobble board builds balance from the ground up.
For toddlers aged 18 months–3 years: Both Le Toy Van rocking horses (£75.00) are ideal. Children in this age range get enormous pleasure from rocking, and the Classic and Unicorn versions give you a choice of aesthetic.
For children aged 2–5 who are ready to scoot: The Tender Leaf Scooter with Basket and Delivery Scooter (both £145.00) are exceptional gifts — premium quality, beautifully designed, and genuinely functional for outdoor play.
