Stack, build and create: Building blocks, like these from PlanToys, should not be missing from any toy box. This colourful set, consisting of three visual, three auditory and three tactile blocks, invites children to explore their senses through play.

A companion for years: Even when your child is older, he or she will love to play with the colourful wooden blocks and still want to build high towers and cities with them.

You can't go wrong with PlanToys when it comes to sustainability either, as the company uses sustainable wood from disused rubber trees and uses non-toxic water-based paints and pollutant-free adhesives.

PlanToys is a social and environmentally oriented company from Thailand.

The idea came in 1981: since rubber trees no longer produce latex when they grow old, seven young students around the architect Vitool Viraponsavan found a sustainable solution. The trees' second life begins: they become sustainable, fairly produced wooden toys that delight young and old alike.

To keep the wood free of pollutants, the soil is not fertilised for three years before the trees are cut. All ways of toy production are well thought out at PlanToys. For example, roots and other residual products from wood production are used to generate energy in the company's own power plant.

We love PlanToys products – every single one is planned, designed and produced with great attention to detail. The focus is on our environment, our children and our future!
