Padauk wood grain
Padauk Pterocarpus

Emerging from hidden West African forests, Padauk is a living piece of history. Its vibrant heartwood was historically used to create legendary crimson dye for 14th-century Mali's royal courts. Beyond its legendary colour, the wood was also crucial for ceremonial drums and traditional medicine.

Zebrano Microberlinia

Zebrano earned its name from its distinctive, zebra-like grain. Its history is a testament to its dramatic aesthetic: once used for luxurious Art Deco marquetry, it later graced the dashboards of iconic Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz automobiles, symbolizing an era of high-end design and exotic luxury.

Purpleheart Peltogyne

Within Central and South American rainforests, the unassuming Peltogyne tree holds a spectacular secret. When cut, its bland timber magically shifts to a vibrant, purple heartwood. Revered as "royal wood" and used historically for luxury items, it is also thought by some modern pagans to ward off negative energy!

 Tigerwood Grain
Tigerwood Astronium fraxinifolium

Born from the heart of South American forests, tigerwood bears a striking, striped beauty. Revered by indigenous cultures for centuries for its strength and medicinal uses, this heritage species embodies resilience and deep cultural significance. Its powerful history is etched into every resilient grain.

English Oak Quercus robur

Bringing it home: At the heart of almost every Oak & Sprout toy—Oak’s recognisable amber heartwood, often from 200-year-old Norfolk Oaks, lends a warm glow and timeless strength. We love working with it, and passing it on.

Helps fine-motor skills

After a week my son can now rotate each segment into place on his own. It’s teaching patience and confidence without screen time.

Quality family time

Both kids (2 & 6) take turns racing the wooden ball along the loop not exactly as mindful as I'd like but they love it lol. A screen-free activity we all enjoy.

Gift-ready out of the box

Came with a little pot of oil and a lifetime guarantee card. Gave it straight to my niece—she was fascinated.

Great for calm-down corner

We keep it in our SEN classroom’s quiet space. Students instinctively slow their breathing as they trace.

David

Perfect homeschool addition

We trace the lowercase side during phonics and flip to capitals for handwriting practice.

Great quiet-time toy

We put the Unity Puzzle in our calm-down corner. The asymmetric pieces make my 3-year-old think without getting frustrated. Zero plastic which I love.

Aisha

Beautiful and high quality

Love that the board is weighty and doesn’t slide around when my son traces.

Olivia

Beautiful craftsmanship

The beech wood is silky smooth and the inhale/exhale engraving is perfectly crisp. Worth every penny.

Hilary

Beautiful natural colours

You can really see the grain of every hardwood—my daughter keeps asking why one piece is purple! Fits together smoothly and looks gorgeous on the shelf.
