Unique in design, educational and nature-friendly - such are the wooden toys of the Polish brand Bajo. We are always very happy when we can recommend someone from our backyard. We recommend Bajo wholeheartedly - we value their creativity, consistency and experience. These are beautiful Polish toys that have conquered the world.
This family-owned company started in 1993. It was the year of Bjork's "Debut," Pearl Jam released "Vs." at the time, and Lenny Kravitz was asking from the radio airwaves: "Are You Gonna Go My Way?". That's some time ago now, isn't it? Bajo's founder - architect and set designer Wojciech Bajor - instead of setting out in Lenny's footsteps, he headed for the woods. He located his toy factory in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, and the beautiful neighborhood still reminds Bajo specialists of the brand's main idea every day. For Bajo, eco-friendly toys are not just a slogan that sounds nice in advertisements. It's a commitment. That's why Bajo brand toys are made from wood sourced from local farms practicing sustainable forest management in accordance with European standards. And the material (no matter how it is processed - using innovative techniques or traditionally, by hand) is always treated with respect and used to the last. At Bajo, the wood is covered only with ecological paints and natural oils . Sometimes it is very colorful, but even then some element of the toy remains unpainted so that the child can look at the grain and feel the natural warmth of the wood.
The love of nature Bajo wants to teach from the cradle, that's why so many toys depict animals. After all, how can you not love nature when you hold a cute butterfly from Bajo (which has movable balls on its wings for added appeal).
Toys for older children are also heavily inspired by the natural world, but they already pose greater challenges. A three-year-old will probably like the colorful threading machines, which help exercise small motor skills, and at the same time allow them to create patterns of colorful strings on their own. This is an important principle at Bajo - toys are meant to be open to children's imagination and multifunctional. Take the Crowd Puzzle; the characters can form a simple puzzle, play in a children's theater or become an excuse to talk about social diversity.
Bajo strongly emphasizes the educational value of its toys, which are often used as teaching aids in kindergartens or during therapeutic activities with young patients.
And if you have a little fan at home of the scary creature known as Grufallo - the hero of the book of the same title by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler - then Bajo has something perfect. The brand has created a series of licensed toys inspired by this internationally popular and award-winning tale.
