About us Great Little Trading Co. (GLTC) is a small, passionate and independent British business specialising in solution-oriented, stylish products for family homes. Voted Best Children’s Brand 2021, we design and produce a unique collection of high-quality wooden toys, children’s furniture, genuinely useful storage solutions and beautiful room accessories. We aim to help parents create a happy home with our ideas on how to organise, play, learn, unwind, and connect:

Play that lasts and lasts.

Our award-winning range of play now, love-forever toys are made from long-lasting wood and offer unlimited hours of imaginative, educational fun.

Learn. Create. Flourish.

From toys that teach to creative tools for an inspiration station, we’ve got everything your little one needs to learn and develop.

Great design. Great products. Great service. We guarantee all three. But don’t just take our word for it…

We received a Feefo Gold Tr usted Ser vice Award in 2021 for the third year in a row and have won numerous awards over the year s for our product design and innovation.

Buy Wood, Buy Once We’re helping to preserve our planet for the next generation by designing and creating inspiring wooden toys for children with four amazing super powers:

1.

2.

3.

They’re long-lasting We rigorously test each and every one to ensure they’re safe, durable and can withstand lots of hands-on play. More long-lasting than their plastic counterparts; they’re heirlooms in the making designed to be passed on to the next generation.

They’re better for the planet While all those plastic toys cluttering up homes will still be plaguing the planet for centuries to come, our wooden toys are biodegradable.

They spark imagination They’re powered by makebelieve not batteries, so it’s the child’s own creativity that does the legwork. They’ll be having fun while also developing essential social, visual and motor skills.

They’ve got curb appeal Our toys are so beautiful that there’s no need to hide them away. Parents are happy to have them on display ready to tempt their child to play with them.

Sustainability We are striving to find more eco-friendly alternatives and have already made positive steps forward:

Sustainable Toys Responsibly sourced, high quality wooden toys.

EU Timber We follow EU timber regulations – these require all wood and wood-based products to be traced back to forest source and proven to be from sustainable, legal sources.

Safe materials We use water-based paints on our furniture and toys, so you can be sure they don’t contain any nasty chemicals.

Contents 04 R O L E P L AY Our colourful kitchens, play shops & cafes provide hours of fun, open-ended role play for little entrepreneurs in the making.

22 TO D D L E R & B A B Y TOY S Our vibrant range of baby and toddler toys help to develop your child’s essential skills, from hand-eye coordination to colour and shape recognition.

26 C R E AT I V I T Y Putting paint brush to easel gives mini Monets the chance to unleash their creativity, as well as strengthen their motor skills.

32 E D U C AT I O N A L T O Y S Our educational toys are a fun way to learn about everything, from telling the time to letter formation, and they strengthen hands and fingers in preparation for school.
