What are Bigjigs toys made from?
The majority of the range is made from sustainably sourced wood, with plastic used only where no suitable alternative exists. Most wooden pieces use rubberwood, a byproduct of latex production, which reduces waste without compromising on durability.
Are Bigjigs toys good for child development?
Child development sits at the core of how Bigjigs designs its products. With a background in teaching, the team builds toys around how children learn at each stage, through play, exploration, and hands-on problem solving, rather than passive entertainment.
Are Bigjigs toys safe?
Every toy is independently safety tested before it reaches the market. The brand also designs in the UK and works directly with its production facilities to ensure standards are maintained throughout, not just at the point of sale.
What are Bigjigs' sustainability credentials?
Bigjigs holds FSC certification, meaning the wood used across the range is independently verified as responsibly sourced. Over 80% of the packaging is made from recycled cardboard, printed using soy inks. Environmental impact is considered during product development rather than treated as a separate initiative, with plastic treated as a last resort in both product and packaging design.
Where should I start based on how my child likes to play?
For babies and younger toddlers, the sensory and early play range covers grasping toys, stackers, and shape sorters designed around what children can actually do at each stage. For children who learn through building and problem solving, the construction and rail ranges are well suited from 18 months upwards, with sets designed to expand rather than be replaced. Creative and imaginative players tend to gravitate toward the role play ranges, kitchens, tool benches, and market stalls, which sustain open-ended play across several years.
How long will Bigjigs toys last?
These toys are built to move through childhood rather than be outgrown quickly. The use of quality wood means most pieces hold up to years of daily play and are commonly passed between siblings or passed on as gifts.
Is Bigjigs worth the price?
Bigjigs sits at a mid-to-premium price point, and the build quality reflects that. The wood is solid, the finishes hold up, and the play value tends to extend well beyond what cheaper alternatives offer at the same age stage. For parents weighing up cost, the more useful comparison is cost per year of use rather than upfront price. A Bigjigs rail set bought at 18 months is still in daily use at four or five for most children.
