From a very young age, lucky children may learn an appreciation for nature’s elements and time. If you want a gift that will inspire a love for nature, help kids learn about flowers, mushrooms, birds, and set a bucolic mood for playtime cottagecore toys is a beautiful idea!
I rounded up the sweetest toy inspired by the cottagecore aesthetic and lifestyle. So, all the toys in this post are gentle, made of wood or hypoallergenic fabric, and use non-toxic water-based dyes. That way, not only you’re baby will be exposed to visual nature’s stimulus, but will play with toys that are harmless to his health and to nature! We go by European and American standards and you can read more about them here.

Sustainable & Non-Toxic standards considered for this post
Each country or economic bloc has its own standards for sustainability, safety, and toxicity. And because they can go from strict to almost nonexistent we are considering brands that market their products as compliant with at least one of the standards below.
FSC-certified wood
From the fsc.org website : “The Forest Stewardship Council sets standards for responsible forest management. A voluntary program, FSC uses the power of the marketplace to protect forests for future generations.
FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. “
TSCA Title IV
⚠️ Because there is not a large consensus whether the formaldehyde emissions under the TSCA Title IV is really safe and nontoxic, we are only featuring MDF/plywood as alternatives to real wood.
