Aisle by aisle
Snuggle Bunny
Our softest bunny yet, with extra-long ears for carrying — in this drop's three sherbet colours.

Big, sturdy pieces that build a three-foot picture on the floor — choose the ocean, outer space or a valley full of dinosaurs.

Big Box of Rainy-Day Crafts
Six projects in one box — sock puppets, a paper-plate aquarium, pom-pom monsters and more — with every last googly eye included.
Felt Crown & Wand Set
A soft felt crown with an elastic back and a star wand with ribbon streamers — for royals of every kind.
Bumblebee Bingo
A first game for two to four little bees: spin, match the flower and fill your hive before the sun sets. Twenty minutes, no reading.
Wooden Balance Bike
A birch-ply balance bike with an adjustable seat and air tyres — built to order and shipped straight from the Little Acorn workshop.
Personalised Wooden Name Puzzle
Their name in chunky painted letters that lift out of a solid beech board — the gift grandparents order most.
Rainy-Day Activity Pack — Printable
Forty pages of mazes, spot-the-difference, dot-to-dots and cut-and-fold animals — print what you need, as many times as you like.
Biscuit the Bear, 12 in
A floppy, honey-coloured bear in organic cotton with embroidered eyes — soft enough for naps, tough enough for the washing machine.
Chunky Wooden Blocks, 40 Pieces
Forty solid beech blocks in eight shapes and five colours, in a canvas drawstring bag that doubles as a play mat.
Sketch to shipped box
Someone's kid asks
Nearly every set starts as a complaint. A child wants a crane that turns, a parent wants twenty quiet minutes, and neither exists on the shelf.
Paper, then plywood
Two weeks of sketching, then a rough prototype cut in the workshop. If it does not survive a week on the test panel it goes in the bin.
Twelve tests
Drop, pull, bite, wash, and eight more. EN 71 and ASTM F963 are the floor, not the target — we test past both.
500 numbered boxes
A run is 500 sets, stamped and packed in recycled board. When the last one leaves the workshop the set retires.
