Baby’s First Toy
For a baby’s very first toy, we recommend wooden products. Why wood? Because it is gentle, non-toxic, and safe even for babies whose immune systems are still developing. Unlike metal or plastic, wood does not feel cold to the touch—it stays close to body temperature. The natural texture and sound of wood are calming for babies and provide sensory stimulation similar to what they experienced in the womb.
Wooden Toys and Babies
Babies learn about the world by touching and putting objects in their mouths. Wooden toys provide ideal stimulation for developing the five senses—sight, touch, sound, smell, and movement. They also act as gentle communication tools, naturally encouraging interaction and shared moments between parents and children.

This baby gift set has been loved for more than 35 years. Designed for easy holding, shaking, and mouthing, each toy produces soft, comforting wooden sounds. Made from Japanese wood and carefully polished by hand, it has earned praise from many parents for its wonderfully smooth texture.
Natural Materials & Gentle Finishes
Finished with natural plant-based oils such as linseed and perilla oil, each toy is protected while remaining completely safe for babies. Every piece is handcrafted with care, respecting the character of natural materials and prioritizing quality at every step.
Safe and Gentle for Babies
Babies are extremely sensitive. That’s why we choose handcrafted toys made without chemicals—only natural, baby-safe craftsmanship that parents can trust.
