About us GLTC is a small, passionate and independent British brand focused on creating products that make parenting easier and childhood better. Voted Best Children’s Brand 2022, we design and produce toys that last for year s not minutes, storage that makes sense of family spaces, and furniture parents are proud to have in their home. We aim to help parents create a happy home with our ideas on how to organise, play, learn 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 toys that encourage creativity, we’ve got everything your child needs to learn and develop.
Great design. Great products. Great service. We guarantee all three. But don’t just take our word for it… In addition to the numerous awards we’ve won over the year s for our product design and innovation we have recently been awarded the Feefo Platinum Ser vice Award 2022 for consistently delivering excellence.
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.
4.
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 will be cluttering 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 beautifully designed, you won’t want to hide them away.
Sustainability We are striving to find more eco-friendly alternatives and have already made positive steps forward:
Packaging We’ve worked hard to reduce the amount of plastic from our toy packaging, whilst ensuring product reaches customers in mint condition. We aim to have only use recycled and recyclable packaging materials wherever we can.
Life cycle Our products are designed to last a long time. The quality means they can be passed down or shared with others. At the end of their lifespan, they are mostly recyclable as wood.
Safe Durable Products We are fully committed to testing all our raw materials to ensure they contain no nasty chemicals and are fully compliant to UK and EU regulations. We also test the safety and durability of our products to make sure they last a long time
