  • Specialising in Wooden Toys

    In all our years of trading we have aimed to stock wooden toys. With the heart and soul of a real traditional toy shop, full of wonders, we stock high quality wooden toys that are durable and long lasting. Wooden toys are a great alternative to plastic - said to improve learning and engagement from an early age - and good for the environment too! Many of our wooden toys are made from FSC certified wood ensuring that they are sourced from responsibly managed forests with environemental benefits!

  • We Support British Businesses

    As a small independent retailer we support british companies wherever possible. By trying our best to support British business, much of our collection can come from within the UK meaning it hasn't travelled far to us which is great for the environment and for lead times when it comes to your orders!

  • Fair Trade and Bee Conservation

    We may be small but we're doing our bit to support important charities. Particular product lines ensure fair trade for women in Bangladesh who make knitted toys, By purchasing these fair trade toys, you are helping to improve lives and the life chances of future generations. When you purchase Beefayre products with us a percentage of the sale goes towards bee conservation.
