Beautiful exotic wood puzzles made for ages 1–3

Our Sproutlets pieces are lightweight, pocket-sized, and priced for everyday play—yet crafted with the same heirloom care as our oak range.

  • Built for first milestones – develop colour matching, one-to-five counting, and fine motor control.
  • Montessori friendly -natural grain is the colour; no paints, no plastics.
  • Sustainably sourced - responsibly harvested hardwoods, finished with child-safe oil.

Perfect as a starter gift or as an add-on to our Oak Learning Boards, Sproutlets bring imagination to life—while looking lovely on the nursery shelf.

Learn with nature’s own colours

Our learning boards are cut from solid beech and inlaid with naturally colourful exotic hardwoods—Purpleheart, Padauk, Walnut, Zebrano, and Tigerwood. No stains, no dyes: just wood doing what wood does best.

  • Numbers 0–9 for counting and number formation
  • Alphabet (a–z) for letter recognition and first phonics
  • Fractions & shapes for halves, thirds, quarters and early geometry
A small story in every board

Purpleheart deepens to a royal plum — the kind of colour that makes children ask, “is it really wood?”

Padauk arrives bright and fiery; West African makers have prized its red tone since the 1800s.

Walnut brings the calm, chocolate grain European craftspeople love for heirloom furniture.

Zebrano wears striking stripes that became an Art Deco favourite in the 1920s.

Tigerwood (Gonçalo Alves) shimmers with ribboned figure — bold and warm.
