No rules, no exceptions!

We agree that children are the most wonderful natural born inventors, explorers and self-learners.

Here at Tender Leaf Toys, we have a great selection of open-ended toys to allow kids to form their own ideas and creativity in a visual and tangible way. We love to see children become completely engrossed in their miniature world, a world where there are no rules and where play can take any direction it chooses!

We’re sure to have something to suit your little copycat!

Our vast array of open-ended toys give the opportunity for your little ones to mimic us adults in our day-to-day tasks such as cooking, buying and selling, gardening, caring for each other and animals and driving vehicles, to name but a few.

Our toys encourage kids to build mini worlds with no beginning, middle or end - worlds where passions, interests and talents may also be discovered!

Raising kind kids

In play, children learn to navigate their physical and social environment, alongside imagining and creating new personally tailored realities. A strong foundation of social and emotional skills is important for your little one’s future. We have toys to support many types of play – independent, creative, imaginative, physical, sensory and cooperative, all amazing for cultivating essential social and emotional skills including communication, emotional intelligence, manners, confidence and self-control.
