This monthly subscription box is custom designed by Jules and themed for each month. You will receive a set of items each month that will add to your collection of open ended play resources. It includes more than $60 of value plus free postage. Every month one item in the subscription box will be designed specifically for and be unique to that box.
Once a theme is released and the box is designed we will email all subscribers with an update showing them what they will expect to receive the next month. This email update will also come with recommendations for play dough colours to have on hand, suggestions for toy animals to pull out of the cupboard and sensory bases to purchase/make in advance if you would like, e.g. rainbow rice. We may also have book recommendations to pair with the play to extend the experience. These recommendations will all be based around the theme of the month, which as you can predict will align to prominent calendar events including Christmas, Naidoc week and Autumn to name a few.
The wonderful thing about open ended toys is that all items in this play box, can be used in many different play scenarios when combined with items you already have. Throughout this subscription we will help you reimagine different ways of playing with the gorgeous toys and items already in your house.
As you know Let Them Play strives to be sustainable and environmentally conscious in all our products so these subscription boxes will be plastic free.

Product Safety
Safety Standards
All our products are designed and made with children’s safety in mind and made to meet AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS AS/NZS 8124.
Please read all product descriptions and care instructions carefully to ensure you are purchasing and using each item for its intended purpose so as to not damage the product or more importantly, put your child’s safety at risk. We have done our best to make these terms clear in each description and cannot be held responsible should an item be misused or the information provided be ignored.
Recommended Age
All products are intended and designed for children above the age of 36 months Some products may pose a choking hazard and it is not recommended that children who still put objects in their mouth have access to our toys unless fully supervised.
Parental supervision is required at all times. Please check your items before use and discard if they show any signs of damage.
Materials
All products that are coloured have been done so using non toxic food grade dyes, and some products are finished with a natural beeswax and coconut oil, or natural Tung Oil.
We have had independent safety and non toxic testing completed for our products to ensure that your little ones will be safe whilst having fun.
Care and Cleaning
Keep it natural
You want to use a gentle cleanser on wooden toys. Anything from a simple vinegar and water solution (1 part vinegar to 10 parts water), a mild, environmentally friendly dish soap, and some warm water, or your favorite non-toxic multi-purpose cleaner, diluted with water, will work well. You don’t want to use bleach or harsh chemicals as it can dry-out the wood.
Be careful when cleaning any dyed toys as some excess dye may come off onto the cloth. It will not affect the toy but toys that are dyed are not designed to be submerged in water.
No soaking
You never want to soak wooden toys, as wood is very porous. The shape of the toy can change and warp with too much moisture and if the toy doesn’t dry completely, more germs and bacterial will want to hang out. If the wood swells, it can cause the wood to crack or damage any dye or finish on the surface of the toy. Using a wet washcloth to clean will keep the wood from getting too drenched.
Easy as 1, 2, 3
Cleaning wood toys can happen in three easy steps. Spray the toys with a gently cleaner of choice, gently wipe down with a sponge or washcloth and a bit of warm water, then allow the toys to air dry. Putting them in the sun will help kill even more germs and speed up the drying process.
Treating stains
Vinegar does the trick again! Create a more concentrated mixture of vinegar and water. You can use a 1:1 ratio for stains. Spray the stain and scrub it with a sponge. Putting it in the sun to dry will also help “bleach” out the stain. If it’s a really tough stain, you can use a little sand-paper to buff it out. This is not recommended for dyed timber products. You will need to re-coat your wooden products with a natural oil protective rub after cleaning with vinegar.
Replenish the moisture
Every once and a while you will want to moisturise wooden toys, just as you would your cutting boards, butcher blocks, or wooden utensils. We use a beeswax balm made from natural beeswax and coconut oil and its a great non-toxic option. You only need a washcloth or rag for easy application.

Each product in our shop is unique
Why
100% Handmade
Because, the materials have each been hand selected, collected, or cut. Each design is created by my over active creative mind, then it’s my hands that draw, cut, slice, sand, paint and finish each piece.
Unique and different
No two pieces are ever the same, each unique in their own natural way. Each piece will have its own special wood grain, colours and characteristics. It may look slightly different from the picture shown but that's what makes it special to you.
Made from natural materials
I love the raw beauty of nature, and that’s where I draw my inspiration from. It’s where I source my materials. It’s where I collect nature’s treasures and is often where I am when a new idea pops up! Nature is perfectly imperfect, and so are my products... so am I!
Sustainably minded and open ended
I believe children’s connection to nature will engage their desire for a sustainable future. I want my children to see the beauty in the natural world, and not in the shiny plastic throw away convenience focused society... I believe open ended, nature based toys and resources that inspire is one way I can help.
Limited quantity and durability
I will never be a mass toy producer. As to do that means my hands and personal touch can’t be involved in each product produced. The beauty in that, is there won’t be hundreds on my pieces out there... but they will be passed down between children and when it’s their time, they will naturally break down and leave no mark on our earth. 🌍
Nature Set - Winter
Regular price $39.95Winter Nature Set
Experience the magic of nature with our Winter Nature Set. This set is specially designed to enhance curiosity, creativity and natural play opportunities for your child.
This set contains
- 3 stampers
- 1 bottle of Natures Treasure Mix (a magical mix of dried flowers, eco-glitter and crystals)
- A hand painted Penguin Tree Person
- 1 StoryScene Iceberg
- 2 x Snowflakes
- 1 StoryScene petit Water playboard (8.5 x 9cm)
The unique wood grains will vary between each piece. We believe that this adds to the character and shows the true beauty of natural wood. Each piece has been dyed by hand using Eco wooden inks. Colours may appear slightly different from photos due to variations in lighting and the natural nature of how different wood grains absorb colour.
Each NATURES TREASURES piece is the original design of Julie from Let Them Play Toys.
What is our NATURES TREASURES Range?
At Let Them Play, we see the beauty within Mother Nature, her branches, sticks, flowers, land, rocks etc and we want to bring those into play in a holistic and curated way. We developed our Natures Treasure Range as a curated collection of the raw beauty found in natural resources like Organic Dried Petals, Crystals and BIO-Glitter.
All of our Dried Petals are sourced either locally, or from an Australian Small Business, who follows along with our values of minimal plastic and waste.
Our own range of Bio-Glitter has been created here within Let Them Play from certified Bio-glitter. Bio-glitter is designed to biodegrade quickly and safely in natural freshwater environments. We have taken this approach because terms such as 100% plastic free and 100% degradable can be used without qualification and don't necessarily describe the eco-credentials of a product.
Please read the description carefully before purchase.

- 1 bottle of Natures Treasure Mix (a magical mix of dried flowers, eco-glitter and crystals)
- 5 hand-painted garden inspired shapes (on 3mm ply)
- 1 beehive 13.5cm x 11cm (on 3mm ply)

The unique wood grains will vary between each piece. We believe that this adds to the character and shows the true beauty of natural wood. Each piece has been dyed by hand using Eco wooden inks. Colours may appear slightly different from photos due to variations in lighting and the natural nature of how different wood grains absorb colour.
Each NATURES TREASURE piece is the original design of Julie from Let Them Play Toys.
What is our NATURES TREASURES Range?
At Let Them Play, we see the beauty within Mother Nature, her branches, sticks, flowers, land, rocks etc and we want to bring those into play in a holistic and curated way. We developed our Natures Treasure Range as a curated collection of the raw beauty found in natural resources like Organic Dried Petals, Crystals and BIO-Glitter.
All of our Dried Petals are sourced either locally, or from an Australian Small Business, who follows along with our values of minimal plastic and waste.
Our own range of Bio-Glitter has been created here within Let Them Play from certified Bio-glitter. Bio-glitter is designed to biodegrade quickly and safely in natural freshwater environments. We have taken this approach because terms such as 100% plastic free and 100% degradable can be used without qualification and don't necessarily describe the eco-credentials of a product.
Please read the description carefully before purchase.
Product Safety
Safety Standards
All our products are designed and made with children’s safety in mind and made to meet AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS AS/NZS 8124.
Please read all product descriptions and care instructions carefully to ensure you are purchasing and using each item for its intended purpose so as to not damage the product or more importantly, put your child’s safety at risk. We have done our best to make these terms clear in each description and cannot be held responsible should an item be misused or the information provided be ignored.
Recommended Age
All products are intended and designed for children above the age of 36 months Some products may pose a choking hazard and it is not recommended that children who still put objects in their mouth have access to our toys unless fully supervised.
Parental supervision is required at all times. Please check your items before use and discard if they show any signs of damage.
Materials
All products that are coloured have been done so using non toxic food grade dyes, and some products are finished with a natural beeswax and coconut oil, or natural Tung Oil.
We have had independent safety and non toxic testing completed for our products to ensure that your little ones will be safe whilst having fun.
Care and Cleaning
Keep it natural
You want to use a gentle cleanser on wooden toys. Anything from a simple vinegar and water solution (1 part vinegar to 10 parts water), a mild, environmentally friendly dish soap, and some warm water, or your favorite non-toxic multi-purpose cleaner, diluted with water, will work well. You don’t want to use bleach or harsh chemicals as it can dry-out the wood.
Be careful when cleaning any dyed toys as some excess dye may come off onto the cloth. It will not affect the toy but toys that are dyed are not designed to be submerged in water.
No soaking
You never want to soak wooden toys, as wood is very porous. The shape of the toy can change and warp with too much moisture and if the toy doesn’t dry completely, more germs and bacterial will want to hang out. If the wood swells, it can cause the wood to crack or damage any dye or finish on the surface of the toy. Using a wet washcloth to clean will keep the wood from getting too drenched.
Easy as 1, 2, 3
Cleaning wood toys can happen in three easy steps. Spray the toys with a gently cleaner of choice, gently wipe down with a sponge or washcloth and a bit of warm water, then allow the toys to air dry. Putting them in the sun will help kill even more germs and speed up the drying process.
Treating stains
Vinegar does the trick again! Create a more concentrated mixture of vinegar and water. You can use a 1:1 ratio for stains. Spray the stain and scrub it with a sponge. Putting it in the sun to dry will also help “bleach” out the stain. If it’s a really tough stain, you can use a little sand-paper to buff it out. This is not recommended for dyed timber products. You will need to re-coat your wooden products with a natural oil protective rub after cleaning with vinegar.
Replenish the moisture
Every once and a while you will want to moisturise wooden toys, just as you would your cutting boards, butcher blocks, or wooden utensils. We use a beeswax balm made from natural beeswax and coconut oil and its a great non-toxic option. You only need a washcloth or rag for easy application.

Each product in our shop is unique
Why
100% Handmade
Because, the materials have each been hand selected, collected, or cut. Each design is created by my over active creative mind, then it’s my hands that draw, cut, slice, sand, paint and finish each piece.
Unique and different
No two pieces are ever the same, each unique in their own natural way. Each piece will have its own special wood grain, colours and characteristics. It may look slightly different from the picture shown but that's what makes it special to you.
Made from natural materials
I love the raw beauty of nature, and that’s where I draw my inspiration from. It’s where I source my materials. It’s where I collect nature’s treasures and is often where I am when a new idea pops up! Nature is perfectly imperfect, and so are my products... so am I!
Sustainably minded and open ended
I believe children’s connection to nature will engage their desire for a sustainable future. I want my children to see the beauty in the natural world, and not in the shiny plastic throw away convenience focused society... I believe open ended, nature based toys and resources that inspire is one way I can help.
Limited quantity and durability
I will never be a mass toy producer. As to do that means my hands and personal touch can’t be involved in each product produced. The beauty in that, is there won’t be hundreds on my pieces out there... but they will be passed down between children and when it’s their time, they will naturally break down and leave no mark on our earth. 🌍

All products that are coloured have been done so using non toxic food grade dyes, and some products are finished with a natural beeswax and coconut oil, or natural Tung Oil.
We have had independent safety and non toxic testing completed for our products to ensure that your little ones will be safe whilst having fun.
Care and Cleaning
Keep it natural
You want to use a gentle cleanser on wooden toys. Anything from a simple vinegar and water solution (1 part vinegar to 10 parts water), a mild, environmentally friendly dish soap, and some warm water, or your favorite non-toxic multi-purpose cleaner, diluted with water, will work well. You don’t want to use bleach or harsh chemicals as it can dry-out the wood.
Be careful when cleaning any dyed toys as some excess dye may come off onto the cloth. It will not affect the toy but toys that are dyed are not designed to be submerged in water.
No soaking
You never want to soak wooden toys, as wood is very porous. The shape of the toy can change and warp with too much moisture and if the toy doesn’t dry completely, more germs and bacterial will want to hang out. If the wood swells, it can cause the wood to crack or damage any dye or finish on the surface of the toy. Using a wet washcloth to clean will keep the wood from getting too drenched.
Easy as 1, 2, 3
Cleaning wood toys can happen in three easy steps. Spray the toys with a gently cleaner of choice, gently wipe down with a sponge or washcloth and a bit of warm water, then allow the toys to air dry. Putting them in the sun will help kill even more germs and speed up the drying process.
Treating stains
Vinegar does the trick again! Create a more concentrated mixture of vinegar and water. You can use a 1:1 ratio for stains. Spray the stain and scrub it with a sponge. Putting it in the sun to dry will also help “bleach” out the stain. If it’s a really tough stain, you can use a little sand-paper to buff it out. This is not recommended for dyed timber products. You will need to re-coat your wooden products with a natural oil protective rub after cleaning with vinegar.
Replenish the moisture
Every once and a while you will want to moisturise wooden toys, just as you would your cutting boards, butcher blocks, or wooden utensils. We use a beeswax balm made from natural beeswax and coconut oil and its a great non-toxic option. You only need a washcloth or rag for easy application.

Each product in our shop is unique
Why
100% Handmade
Because, the materials have each been hand selected, collected, or cut. Each design is created by my over active creative mind, then it’s my hands that draw, cut, slice, sand, paint and finish each piece.
Unique and different
No two pieces are ever the same, each unique in their own natural way. Each piece will have its own special wood grain, colours and characteristics. It may look slightly different from the picture shown but that's what makes it special to you.
Made from natural materials
I love the raw beauty of nature, and that’s where I draw my inspiration from. It’s where I source my materials. It’s where I collect nature’s treasures and is often where I am when a new idea pops up! Nature is perfectly imperfect, and so are my products... so am I!
Sustainably minded and open ended
I believe children’s connection to nature will engage their desire for a sustainable future. I want my children to see the beauty in the natural world, and not in the shiny plastic throw away convenience focused society... I believe open ended, nature based toys and resources that inspire is one way I can help.
Limited quantity and durability
I will never be a mass toy producer. As to do that means my hands and personal touch can’t be involved in each product produced. The beauty in that, is there won’t be hundreds on my pieces out there... but they will be passed down between children and when it’s their time, they will naturally break down and leave no mark on our earth. 🌍
