Wooden Animal Toys & Farm Playsets for Children | Froglet Toys

Animals & Farms — Wooden Animal Toys for Children Who Love the Natural World

Animals are often the very first thing a child connects with. Before they can talk, they're pointing at dogs in the street. Before they can read, they're turning the pages of picture books looking for the elephant. Long before school, children are already sorting the world into creatures — and building stories around them.

Our Animals & Farms collection brings that instinct to life with 53 wooden animal toys, farm sets, playsets, jigsaws, and shape sorters from Lanka Kade, Tender Leaf Toys, Le Toy Van, Mentari, Egmont Toys, and PlayPress. Every piece is made from sustainably sourced wood with child-safe finishes. Most are in stock and ready to gift.

Lanka Kade Animal Bundles — Fair Trade Wooden Animals from Sri Lanka

The heart of this collection is the Lanka Kade animal bundle range — sets of 10 hand-painted wooden animals, each one carved by skilled craftspeople in Sri Lanka under fair trade conditions. Lanka Kade has been making wooden toys this way for over 30 years, and the quality shows in every piece: satisfying to hold, beautifully coloured, and robust enough to last years of imaginative play.

Every bundle contains 10 animals and is priced at £28.95. Choose from:

Choosing the Right Animal Toy — A Gift Guide

The best educational toys don't feel like learning at all — and the same is true here. A child picking up a wooden pig or sorting plastic dinosaur shapes isn't doing work; they're doing what children do best. That said, the right toy for the right age matters.

For children aged 12–18 months: The Lanka Kade simple animal jigsaws (£6.00) and Tender Leaf Stacking Garden Friends (£22.00) are ideal. Chunky, satisfying, and perfectly sized for small hands.

For children aged 18 months–3 years: Lanka Kade 1-5 jigsaws (£6.50), the shape sorters (£18.95), and the Le Toy Van Noah's Ark (£32.00) are all brilliant. The Lanka Kade animal bundles (£28.95) also work beautifully from around 18 months — children this age love picking up and carrying individual animals.

For children aged 3–5: The Lanka Kade 1-10 jigsaws (£12.50), animal bundles (£28.95), and the Egmont Modular Farm (£51.00) all suit children in this age range well. Children aged 3+ start building more complex animal worlds and benefit from having a range of creatures.

For animal-obsessed children of any age: A Lanka Kade bundle at £28.95 is the go-to. Ten beautifully painted wooden animals for under £30 — it's one of the best-value gifts we stock.

By budget:

Under £10 — Lanka Kade simple jigsaws (from £6.00), Mentari Rabbit Hutch Pet Set (£10.00)

£10–£20 — Lanka Kade 1-5 jigsaws (£6.50), pet sets (£12.95–£14.00), shape sorters (£18.95), Balancing Penguins (£19.00)
