Investing in quality toys is important for not only creating lasting childhood memories, but also, inspiring curiosity and developing your child to their full potential.

So what makes a quality toy?
What makes it something heirloom worthy that last and be passed onto future generations?
Does it have to be expensive?

Firstly, we suggest for parents to get to know and become familiar with toy brands they didn't grow up with.
Why not search online or watch YouTube videos with your child to discover great toys and brands from all over the world?

Commit to finding, buying and patiently hunting quality toys if they're discontinued.

Play and experience these toys with your child so they'll know to treasure and care for them, particularly if they're vintage or there's a great story behind how you found them!

Quality is immediately recognisable. Has the toy won any industry awards?
Not only are heirloom quality toys made with better materials, usually more time and thought is put into its design.
Like classically stylish clothes, heirloom toys offer more play experiences and longevity even as your child grows older.

Later, there'll always be someone knowledgeable that's interested in taking them off your hands or they may even become collectible if you've bought wisely.

Imagine your child selling off their toys when they're adults to fund a big purchase like their first car or, even, property?

Naturally, buying secondhand is risky with no returns.
Where possible, it's great to buy brand new, while also, starting and creating your family legacy around toys.

Some iconic heirloom toybrands we love include HABA, Janod and Steiff.
In particular, Steiff is well known for being THE teddy bear to own!
